Nothing Like Valencia’s Central Market
Imagine being able to shop at this amazing Art Nouveau market and take home the best produce ever. If you visit Valencia, it is a reality.
Best Botanical Garden
When it has a name like Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh, it isn't surprising that it fabulous. What was surprising was how huge it is - and that enormous hedge.
Edinburgh Castle

Lemonade
Our arrival in Edinburgh was met with some unexpected challenges, but by the end of our first day we managed to make lemonade out of lemons.
Road Trips
Even though the cities offered so much to see, we are so glad we fit in road trips that took us out to some truly special places.
