The city of Budapest in Hungary is situated either side of the River Danube. Until 1873, hilly Buda and relatively flat Pest were actually two completely separate cities bisected by the river, until they were joined by bridges to become one. There are still slight differences visible between the two sides, with Buda definitely being … Continue reading A short break in Budapest, Hungary – December 2019

One week in Interlaken – Day 7
Day 7 - Saturday 28th July 2019 Our day didn't quite go to plan from the beginning, as it was a rather wet, rainy and thunder stormy day which we weren't expecting.

One week in Interlaken – Introduction and Day 1
Last July, my family and I decided to visit the traditional resort town of Interlaken in the mountainous Bernese Oberland region of central Switzerland.
