The first stop on our 2015 Italian trip, Milan is a city of cocktails, cathedrals and couture…I’m gonna fit in here very nicely…
If you fancy spending a weekend in a vibrant and quirky city have you considered 48 hours in Brussels? Here are some of the best things to see
A load of old balls, a disco escalator and the world’s heaviest bar stools…
A tale of two cities, a train walk of shame and sampling more Brussels beer…
When Mr Fletche suggested Brussels as an Easter/birthday getaway, I confess that I wasn’t overly enthused. What’s in Brussels, I asked? Home of the European Parliament, where they sit around discussing how much bend should be in our bananas? Sprouts (a vegetable that would certainly be consigned to my Room 101)? Tintin and his dog? A little boy peeing into a fountain? Instead, I was more than pleasantly surprised by what this vibrant and cosmopolitan city had to offer. Dull, grey and bureaucratic? Most definitely not…
“Mr Fletche and I spend 10 minutes admiring the maze of cobbled streets and quaint buildings housing hotels, shops and restaurants; and 30 minutes admiring a beer overlooking the lake”.
It’s day 2 of our Salzburg City Break with Ma and Pa Lee. Time to really hit those Sound of Music locations and dance around wearing curtains
