When I started full time work in December 2014, Munich was my first holiday – in February 2015 (yes, 3 months at work and I wanted to go away again…. the pattern hasn’t really stopped since!)

Off to Cyprus today for the next destination in my A-Z. Larnaca (Λάρνακα) is the city I fly in to when I visit Cyprus…

When I visited in 2017, it was April. I stayed in a self-catering apartment just off the main market square, Rynek Główny, with easy access to the city’s shops, restaurants and tourist attractions.

Ioannina, the capital of Greece’s Epirus region. So much has happened since I was there at the start of February! That was a great weekend.

The second largest city in Germany – and one where I’ve spent a lot of time as it is only 45 minutes by car from Cirencester’s German twin town.

Just a 45 minute drive along the coast from Calais, De Panne is often the first stop I make after disembarkation from a ferry or train at Calais in any continental road trip I make.
