    Salzburg Day by Day: The Hills Are Alive…

    Byemfletche January 17, 2016July 17, 2024

    Growing up, Ma Lee’s dream had always been to visit Austria. Like a wish-granting genie, faster than Ma Lee could rustle up lederhosen from a pair of curtains, flights and hotels were booked for a September jaunt to Salzburg. And of course, we couldn’t let two travel novices like Ma and Pa Lee travel alone could we?

    Budapest Travel Diaries: Walking Tours and Ruin Bars

    Byemfletche January 10, 2016March 6, 2021

    Budapest has been on the Fletcher radar for some time. “Shall we do Budapest this year?” we said in 2011. We went to Bruges. “Shall we do Budapest this year?” we said in 2012. We went to Amsterdam and Krakow. “Shall we do Budapest this year?” we said in 2013. We went to Sorrento. So 2014 was to be the year of Budapest…

    A Tourist or A Traveller, or a bit of both?

    Byemfletche January 7, 2016January 8, 2020

    Are you a tourist or a traveller? If the definition of travel is moving from one place to another then surely we’re all travellers. Even when we’re tourists

So what IS a Brummie?

Booking tours or activities? Use my Get Your Guide (Affiliate Link)!

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!
