We do love a good Christmas Market area and Europe does not disappoint. This year we are doing two, Munich and Edinburgh. Munich was last weekend, I took some photos up until the Grog (basically rum and hot water), then the photos kind of stopped and the giggling and stumbling began.

Getting there was a full day of flights because I went above the Arctic Circle to Tromsø. Why Norway? I have a … Continue reading A Quick Nordic Journey

The Lead Up

I'm so excited I am having a hard time falling asleep and haven't picked up a book in a couple of days because I am so distracted there's no point to trying to read.
