Magic Adventures - Liz & Rob

While we’re living in the UK, we’ve been trying *trying* to see as many Harry Potter film locations as we could. So, below is the Harry Potter wishlist with screenshots…

We’ve been back in New Zealand almost a year now. In a few days, it will have been a whole year since we left Cambridge. Time has just *flown* by,…

Our last week in the UK was busy. Brilliant, but busy. A wedding, packing and cleaning then a wee London farewell. But firstly, a wedding between the amazing Abbey and…

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, we tried to visit every pub in Cambridge. And while we weren’t successful, we visited many many pubs and they were easy to enjoy.…

When we moved to Cambridge, we noted that there were 92 pubs in Cambridge and we aspired to visit every pub in Cambridge. Well, we had a good crack at…

During our 4 years in the UK, we visited 27 different Harry Potter film locations. Some of these sights were ‘because we could’ ones, like going to Lambeth Bridge because the…

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll know that Rob is amazing. The reason he’s amazing? Because for the last 4 years, he let me drag him…

You can fly between the Greek Islands, but for some distances, it’s just as easy to ferry. And these are huge ferries that carry 100’s of people. So a 2hr…

Last August/September, our good mate Darren was visiting Europe and he and Ali asked if we wanted to join them for a trip to the Greek Islands. The answer was hell…

The Shetland Islands are famous for their natural beauty, like its birds, but it also is a lovely seaside town and has some amazing prehistoric archaeological sites. The main town…

In the last 4 years, we’ve visited so many sites in Europe. Many of these were top touristy cities like Paris, Rome, Berlin and Barcelona. But this time, we went somewhere a little unusual –…

Vienna is a beautiful beautiful city. Despite the rain on our first day, we had another day or so of wandering around the grand buildings, wide clean streets and monuments…

As we steadily catch-up on our blog posts from last year, we now move onto Vienna. We loved this city. It had all the grandeur and and beauty of Paris without…

We were only in Prague for 2 nights – just the weekend – so there was only so much we could find time to see. But one thing we definitely…

When Rob’s brother and his wife travelled around Europe a few years ago, they said their favourite city was Prague. So when our friend Ali invited us to a weekend…

So for those of you that didn’t know, back in July le Tour de France had three stages in the UK before heading to France. The Tour started in York…

For a lovely long weekend, we decided to finally visit the south of France. We’d heard so many positive reviews, so we booked a hotel in Nice for some sun,…

This year, I (Rob) turned 30 and I was lucky enough to receive some lovely presents. One of them was a hot air balloon ride over Cambridgeshire. First thing’s first…

One more train trip and we were in the busy bustling city of Amsterdam. When I say busy, I mean busy with lots of bicycles! The centre city is built…

We initially decided to stop off at Maastricht because it was on the train-line from Luxembourg to Amsterdam, but we weren’t sure what to see there. Despite that, we had…

Earlier this year, we went for a week long trip from Luxembourg up to Amsterdam by train. Luxembourg is Europe’s third smallest country with a total population of 550,000. So…
