West Bay, England It was my sister's idea to go here. She had seen the TV series Broadchurch and wanted to see the beach and cliffs where the body was found. So we planned a convoluted route that would take us to Cornwall via West Bay (I'll make a small point here that these two… Continue reading Travel A to Z – W

Travel A to Z – V
I'm nearly at the end of my alphabetic tour through travel memories and I'm glad, although I have also enjoyed travelling back in my mind and reliving good - and sometimes not so good - moments. Venice, Italy Venice is beautiful, to visit is like walking into a painting. You've seen it in movies and… Continue reading Travel A to Z – V
Travel A to Z – U
Today's travel recollections are brought to you by the letter U. U is for unwell it seems. Still, into every traveller's life a little unwellness must fall. Udaipur, India: The restaurant had a lovely setting, a green patch of grass surrounded by shaded terraces. Not that shade was needed in the evening. The tables were… Continue reading Travel A to Z – U
Travel A to Z – T
Twenty letters in to the A to Z of travel memories and memories in the planning and I am flagging somewhat. Especially knowing I have lots of tricky letters still to come. But T? T should be straightforward. Trinidad, Cuba We arrived in Trinidad and drove to the address of a casa particulare (B&B) listed… Continue reading Travel A to Z – T
Travel A to Z – S
Travel can be a state of mind, but it can also be a state of the stomach too. Thinking back about Sicily has made me hungry all over again. Sicily, Italy: I remember Sicily through food more than any of the things we saw there. If you go, be prepared to experience the island through… Continue reading Travel A to Z – S
Travel A to Z – R
As we creep on through the alphabet, I'm realising what a task I've set myself, writing six travel posts a week. But I've made it all the way to R, so I can't stop now. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: I did not expect my time in Rio to be soundtracked by the sounds of 70s… Continue reading Travel A to Z – R
Travel A to Z – Q
I've been enjoying my trip down travel memory lane this month. It's been an opportunity to think back about places I haven't thought about for some time, like these two Q cities. Quebec City, Canada: My memories of Quebec City are fuzzy now, as it's been more than 20 years since I was there, but… Continue reading Travel A to Z – Q
Travel A to Z – P
Some day soon we'll be able to go somewhere more exciting than the supermarket. Some day soon we'll be able to go further than the end of our street. Until then, I'm travelling in my mind back in time and for P I am revisiting two places that I had just one full day in,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – P
Travel A to Z – O
It won't be sometime until May until the restrictions on movement are lifted and it's possible to go somewhere without an essential requirement. So while I can only physically travel around my neighbourhood, this month I've been travelling much further in my mind and back in time. Oludeniz, Turkey: We are not ones for package… Continue reading Travel A to Z – O
Travel A to Z – N
Travelling back in time this month, one letter at a time. Naples, Italy: Naples' reputation as a crazy city is thoroughly deserved. I remember the walk from the train station to the town centre was a live stream of noise and chaos. Traffic all over the road, drivers driving with one hand on the wheel,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – N
