    Plitvice or Krka? A tough decision…

    Byemfletche July 17, 2016July 21, 2020

    We were lucky to have the time to fit both National parks into our itinerary, but if I had to pick one? I think I’d pick Krka. Or maybe Plitvice. Screw it, I’ll take them both…

So what IS a Brummie?

Welcome to my World!

Alright bab?

I’m Emmalene, a forty-something born and bred Brummie. Married to Chris. AKA Mr Fletche, taker of photographs, driver abroad and long-suffering travel companion.

I’m a big advocate of eating, drinking and supporting local independent businesses.

But travel is my passion. Simple, easy travel. Here you’ll find how to cram all the sights into a weekend city break. Accidental hikes. Travel fails. Honest rambling travel diaries. Where to find craft beer, gin and street food.

We fit travel around full-time jobs, making the most of weekends, Bank Holidays and maximising those precious annual leave days!

Apart from travel, I love to read books, listen to music, drink gin and visit the theatre.

I always love to hear what you think so please like, comment or share!

Happy travelling…home and abroad!
