Blog: Chickstravelflicks - 7 February 2010
Hands up if you own a copy of “1000 places to see before you die”? Since it’s a bit difficult to type with one hand, I’ll put mine down. (And yes, I even owned the desk calendar, which displays pictures, daily, of exotic destinations that beckon you devilishly as you try and concentrate on work.) If [...] Related posts:A day out in Jejudo Jejudo. M.

Denmark part VII - Elsinore
Blog: Sophie's World - 17 August 2009
On our way back north was my third World Heritage site, Kronborg Castle, Hamlet’s castle, in Elsinore. The town is actually called Helsingør in Danish, but Elsinore sounds so much more romantic, doesn’t it? Thanks to Willie S., no doubt, but also, just the sound of it: Elsinore! Kronborg Castle is interesting enough in its own [...]

Denmark part VI - Copenhagen and Lyngby
Blog: Sophie's World - 16 August 2009
The main purpose of our trip was to set up Alex’ apartment in Copenhagen. Everything else has just been fun along the way (although admittedly a roundabout way). In Copenhagen, we spent lots of time in Ikea, always a pain. But I did it, that’s how great a mum I am. And didn’t even complain… [...]

Blog: Bec and John in the UK - 24 July 2009
Quick! What are your first thoughts when we say Cruise Ship? Old people? Shuffleboard? Overeating? Expensive? Titanic? Probably not for you?Yeah, same here. But what if you found out about a cruise that went to a whole heap of places you wanted to visit? And had last-minute prices that were actually pretty cheap?

The World’s most Liveable City is…
Blog: Cities for People - 3 May 2009
…Copenhagen! So says Monocle Magazine. According to monocle: “Copenhagen treats residents to a lifestyle that’s hard to match: manageable scale, a clean harbour for brisk dips and abundant green space. The development of the Metro system and a commitment to cycling makes urban navigation swift and seamless.” The Dane’s are hardier than me – personally I find the [...]
