Why Madrid is SO AWESOME!!!!!!

Rexy — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:50:38 +0000

After a week in Madrid, I turned round to my fellow travellers and said, ‘Madrid is SO AWESOME!’ This is in stark contrast to what I generally thought about Spain before arriving there. I hadn’t even been to mainland Spain and I immediately thought that the country would be full of old people [...]

Shall I Go Round Europe in a MINI?

Rexy — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:00:44 +0000

Now that I’ve blogged about travelling in Wales, my thoughts turn to mainland Europe. I’ve already travelled in Spain and Portugal (posts to come) and I still want to see more of the ‘Old World’ . Many options fly by in my mind HOW to travel around Europe. Shall I inter-rail? Shall I go with [...]

Who’s THAT Travel Blogger? – Brendan of Brendan’s Adventures

Rexy — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:00:49 +0000

Before I went on my RTW travels, I could be often found stalking other travel blogs but what really interested me was the travel blogger behind the witticisms of their writing. Who are they? Are they real? Are they fit? So hence, for a long time coming, I wanted to do some travel blogging interviews [...]

5 Places I would Want to Go Back to Wales For

Rexy — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:54:30 +0000

After absolutely loving my times in Wales, I absolutely want to go back. I know one week travelling in Wales doesn’t do this amazing country any justice so I would like to dedicate at least another week there. My recent foray into Wales was spent mostly in the Northern parts so there is indeed the [...]

Going Eastward through Flint and Llangollen

Rexy — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:09:34 +0000

As Tom and I munched silently in the breakfast room of Llandudno Hostel, we knew the fated day had arrived. This would be our last day in Wales and we had thoroughly enjoyed our stay here especially in the Northern Parts. As we felt we had pretty much as much of Llandudno as we wanted [...]

Could It Be A Dud At Llandudno?

Rexy — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:54:16 +0000

The point of the message on the pic in relation to a post about Llandudno? Nothing much really. But it’s on display there and I thought about if the bra was on the other foot. (it can happen!) Meanwhile, I digress. We are here to talk about Llandudno! Woooo! Just over the estuary from Conwy, [...]

Walking on the Walls of Conwy

Rexy — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 09:59:01 +0000

‘Well this was a great stop on the way to Conwy!’ I exclaimed in delight as I rubbed my belly. Smacking my lips, I stared down at the empty plate that held before me. Yes, food again has been the source of my happiness. I had what both Tom of TomarHawk and I have searched [...]

A Taste of Italy at Portmeirion

Rexy — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:51:34 +0000

To Portmeirion! Thanks to the disaster of being at Anglesey and the hell-hole that is HolyHead, I was sated enough to visit the longest place-name in Europe just before we headed on over the Menai Bridge to get back to mainland Wales. I think the bridge in itself is a feat of wondrous feat [...]

The Longest Place Name in Europe

Rexy — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:33:58 +0000

‘Llan…fair….gobbleledook.’ I surmised mirthly as I read out the longest place-name in Europe. I don’t think my many years of speech therapy as a kid, thanks to my deafness, could make me read out this. Yes, we were in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. A mouthful isn’t it? Loosely translated from Welsh, it means ‘The Church of Mary in [...]

Getting to Holyhead..I say Holy…Hell!

Rexy — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:13:05 +0000

‘Why have you taken me here?!‘ I angrily rounded over at Tom, who was too busy laughing at my extremely rare reaction. ‘Why the hell have you taken me to Holyhead?! It should be known as HolyHell!‘ Guys. I was staring in the mouth of Hell. Okay, okay, perhaps I was being too melodramatic. But [...]
