I’ve been a bit quiet lately. I haven’t abandoned the blog, just unable to sustain an interesting life!
Thankfully for us both, I’m only a fortnight away from needing my passport, one of six occasions before the end of the year! First up…
Slovenia
A long weekend in the company of my friend Lloyd and his stag do! A group of us, many of whom I haven’t met before will be visiting Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. Bar the low cost of flights and alcoholic beverages, I’m really looking forward to seeing a bit of the country too. Once we arrive on Wednesday I believe the plan is to visit Slovenia’s famous (or well known) Lake Bled and spend the night there, before enjoying the next day at Postojna caves and geological site Vintgar Gorge. Google image search the places… fabulous! Friday we might do a walking tour of Ljubljana and Saturday we’ve hired a bar-on-a-boat before coming home on Sunday. Ample beers in between and around activities for sure. I haven’t met Lloyd’s mate Stuart yet but very impressed with the itinerary. I should have asked him to help in Beijing!
No doubt I’ll look a bit of a twat with my notepad but fear not. My crap banter will be in full flow, and you can check back shortly after for an in depth look at the trip.
Trips wiv da Missus’
I do feel a bit bad going new places without Mikayla, who herself is ditching to go to Disneyland Paris with her family in May. After that it won’t be long until our annual Euro trip to Prague on the first weekend of August. We’re going against the grain a bit this time to stay in a five star hotel. The three previous times I have been to the Czech capital I’ve stay in university halls, a youth hostel and a hotel on the outskirts. I think Kay will love Prague and I still haven’t seen it properly.
The next post, hopefully in a few days will be sharing with you where we are going for New Years. Now routine, we’re really excited about the place we have chosen that will follow New York, Toronto and Hong Kong. Where are we going? You’ll have to check back in a few days once all is booked and paid for, but there’s a clue on my twitter.
Bloody football.
Having not even entertained the idea of going to friendlies in China and California, my first Wales trip with my pal Peter won’t be until September. Ireland in Cardiff on the Thursday then we’re off to Copenhagen for the weekend. Another trip to Dublin in October but saving the best until last, Wales have announced a friendly in Albania in November. A prime example of why I started and will continue to go and watch Bale and co…. to visit countries I would otherwise never give consideration to. Having had a look at things to do in Albania that seemed unfair and we’ll be making the most of a few days driving around a hopefully popping over the border to either Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece or Montenegro.
