Travels in Europe
Since I retired I have been lucky enough to be able to make several trips within Europe. Often acting as roadie for one of my children. I studied medieval and modern European history at university and I love seeing the places I read about in my textbooks. I would like to be able to pass on a bit of my excitement and provide a few tips along the way.
Update: June 2023
Despite the covid lockdowns we have managed to visit 12 European countries since I started this blog.
Austria
We visited Austria at new year to help my daughter move her luggage.
Czechia
My daughter is teaching English as a foreign language in a school near Prague. We visited the Czech republic in September to help her move her luggage.

Denmark
Estonia
A few hours in Tallinn, Estonia’s medieval capital
France
I studied French as a subsidiary subject at University and now belong to a U3A French group. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to do an exchange with a similar French group in Nantes.
Ireland
This had to be a virtual walk as we were in lockdown and not allowed to leave the country for a holiday
Italy
I love Italian food!
The Netherlands
We went on a cruise on a canal barge on the Dutch Waterways.

Portugal
A few years ago I visit Madeira and enjoyed the beautiful gardens.
Russia
Spain
I visited Malaga in Southern Spain with my son at half term. While there we caught the bus to Granada to visit the Alhambra. We recently went to Lanzarote for some winter sun.
Switzerland
It was great to be able to travel again after Covid lockdowns

I’m envious! I hope to do some international travel now that I’m retired. Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you get to see more of the world.
