The Norway in a Nutshell tour package usually is a day trip which starts and ends at Bergen - although the booking site offers numerous possibilities to add activities and accommodation options during the journey. Since we felt that 1 day would be too tight to visit all the places in leisure, we split the journey into 2 days by adding an overnight accommodation at Flåm. [ 476 more words ]

Easter 2019. 4 days of holidays and good weather gave us a chance to try out Norway. Norway is at the top of every tourist blog, book or list.

Work travel is a perfect way to explore a new city. I get to travel a lot as part of my job and was able to visit quite a number of countries (List). This time it was London. I had 2 full days during the weekend to spend time exploring the city. While booking accommodation, I realised how expensive it was to stay in London. [ 520 more words ]

This is the third part of my trip to Kenya - a boat trip on Lake Naivasha. Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake, few hours drive from Nairobi. Home to more than 4000 hippos, many bird species along with a good number of zebras, deers, wildebeest etc. on the islands, this is a perfect opportunity to be with the African Wildlife! Don't miss it.
