Getting There There are two main airports serving Tokyo; Narita and Haneda. We arrived at the major international…

Dresden 2 Day Itinerary
We spent a weekend in Dresden in order to combine some sightseeing with a German parkrun. We flew into Berlin, then hired a car to drive to Dresden. Dresden would be an excellent location for a weekend city break, although we opted to tag it onto a tour of Poland. Which is also an excellent…

Suva 1 Day Itinerary
We spent a week on Fuji’s main island (Viti Levu) as part of a 3 month round the world tour. As it was sandwiched between some hard core sightseeing in California and New Zealand, we were mainly there for some R&R. We did, however, manage to drag ourselves from our sunloungers by our private pool…

Quito 6 Day Itinerary
Quito was our final stop on a three month South American adventure. We spent a total of 6 days in the city, although in reality, they weren’t consecutive as we took a trip to the Amazon after day 2. If you don’t have 6 days, skip the Tren de los Volcanes; it was fun, but…

Copenhagen 2 Day Itinerary
We spent two days in Copenhagen as the second part of a Sweden/Denmark long weekend. It was my second visit to the city, so a combination of past favourites and things I’d missed first time round. Copenhagen certainly warrants further exploring, but if you only have two days, I would still recommend using one for…

Santiago 3 Day Itinerary
We spent three days in Santiago in total. In reality, they weren’t consecutive days; there was a gap between Days 1-2 and Day 3, when we flew to Easter Island. We opted to split our stay between central Santiago and the nearby wine growing area of Pirque. Alternatively, Pirque, which is around 24 miles south…

Phnom Penh 2 Day Itinerary
We visited Phnom Penh as a two day side trip from Siem Reap, travelling by bus. It’s quite a long journey; the 200 mile trip took us around 7 hours each way including all the stops. But I’m a history nerd, so always intrigued to see places I’d read about in history lessons. So I…

Sofia 3 Day Itinerary
We went to Sofia as a weekend city break, spending two days in the city and a third day on an organised tour to Rila Monastery, stopping en route at Boyana Church. The Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is around 70 miles south of Sofia. It is quite spectacular, so I thoroughly recommend adding…

Sarajevo 2 Day Itinerary
We spent two days in Sarajevo as part of a Balkan road trip, stopping on the way into the city at Jablanica and the Tunnel Museum. Jablanica is around 50 miles south west of Sarajevo. If you’re passing, it makes an interesting stop. If not, it’s probably not worth a detour. The Tunnel Museum is…
