Our trips around the world…
Today was the day. We had been looking forward to this day ever since we had decided to not go to Spain and instead rent a car in France for 16 days. Will's first chance to drive since 2011. We picked up our car, an Opel Corsa, from the rental company in central Paris. It... Continue Reading →

After a relatively easy tram/train/train/tram combination from Dresden, we arrived at our accommodation in Berlin. The place we stayed was fantastic as it was a 3 bedroom apartment, with each room very artily decorated and with an ensuite. Not to mention a fridge and full kitchen. Perfect!!
