Amidst the hoards of children and parents (often a specific kind: the ones that fart in closed exhibitions while shouting to their Oompa Loompa colored wives, lets their kids pee outside in the middle of a zoo and that think changing diapers is okay on a random bench) we visited the wonderful Burgers’ Zoo. The …

Valencia – The City
This year we decided to spend Christmas in Valencia, and having been to both the Bioparc and the L’Oceanogràfic there was of course also the city. A buzzing vibrant city that combines Spanish architecture through the ages effortless and is crowded and lively at any given hour. Valencia is Spain’s third-largest city with thriving cultural, eating …

Vilnius
First mentioned in historical sources in 1323 by the Grand Duke Gediminas, Vilnius has grown into a medieval capital city with radial network of meandering streets, pretty courtyards and an impressive array of architecture. The buildings of the Old Town (there are about 1500 of them) were built over a number of centuries making it …
Riga

Capital of Latvia it is home for 700.000 Latvians and located in the central part of Latvia on the Daugava river.

Tallinn
Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, features a beautiful Old Town in medieval style and is known around the world for its well-preserved completeness and authentic Hanseatic architecture. Enchanting atmosphere, rich cultural scene, beautiful surroundings and plenty of galleries, cafes and restaurants to choose from. With half a million citizens, Tallinn is hardly a world metropolis. However: short distances …
Scotland
[su_quote cite=”Mark Renton” url=”http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/quotes?item=qt0335540″]It’s SHITE being Scottish! We’re the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don’t. They’re just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can’t even find a decent …
Pairi Daiza
After visiting Pairi Daiza for the first time last year I was blown away by the stunning looks of this heavenly garden and the enchanting mix of animals that call this zoo in Brugelettes (also know as the middle of nowhere) their home. I was lucky enough to visit it again recently and although the …
Free Tour Sofia
Bulgaria’s pleasingly laid-back capital, Sofia is often overlooked by tourists heading straight to the coast or the ski resorts, but they’re missing something special. It’s no grand metropolis, true, but it’s a largely modern, youthful city, while its old east-meets-west atmosphere is still very much evident, with a scattering of onion-domed churches, Ottoman mosques and …
