So we are six days into our travels and I have a feeling that sleeping in has already become a thing of the past. Our wake up call this morning was at 6.30am - yep you read it correctly! Oh, sorry I was meant to write - 6.30 for the rest of the group and at least an hour earlier for me as I like to dawdle. Yes some things never change! It was a cool 9°c this morning as we departed Ljubljana and travelled towards Postojna - a sleepy village located about 55km ou...

We set out fairly early this morning and walked for about 20 minutes to the city centre. Somehow we stumbled across the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation where a free two hour city walking tour was due to commence. Yes, we are on a budget so I did write FREE, I feel like such a scab!

No offence to those Universal Fanatics out there. I guess if we were adrenalin junkies and went on all the rides I am sure we would have thought otherwise. ...

With only two days to explore Singapore we crammed in as much as possible. Although we had both been here before nothing with the exception of Orchard Road seemed familiar. A lot of new buildings had been erected, each more elaborate and bigger than the one before and one could be forgiven for thinking they had just arrived in Dubai. I particularly could not take my eyes off the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, certainly an impressive masterpiece. Apparently you need to p...
