Airports and Alnwick

Posted on September 11, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up at seven o’clock and had a shower and got dressed before making our way down to the dining room for breakfast. The coach was coming to collect us all at 8.00am to take us back to the airport. How our four nights in Poland had flown! After breakfast we returned to our room,…

Worth One’s Salt

Posted on September 10, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Got up about 7.15am today, as we had to be breakfasted and ready to go by eight o’clock for today’s excursion, on our last day in Kraków. As usual, we enjoyed a plentiful breakfast washed down by good hot coffee. Masked up, we then made our way through the hotel foyer and assembed with the…

Where No Birds Sang

Posted on September 9, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were up fairly early this morning, about 6.45am, and I showered, blow-dried my hair and got dressed before going down to breakfast. The bus was coming to collect us at 8.00am for our excursion, which today was going to be to the most infamous Nazi concentration camp of them all – Auschwitz. We enjoyed…

Castles, Towers and a Dragon

Posted on September 8, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

After a sound night’s sleep we were up at 7.15am and got ourselves ready for the day. We had booked our breakfast for eight o’clock and, donning our masks we made our way to the dining room and stood in the socially-distanced queue outside. After sanitising our hands we entered the restaurant and were shown…

Welcome to Kraków

Posted on September 7, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When the alarm shattered the silence at 3.20am it felt as if we had only been asleep for 10 minutes, as we blearily opened our eyes in the darkened Travel Lodge room. Straightaway I put the kettle on and made some coffee; we would have to wait until we were at the airport before having…

Rosyth and Edinburgh

Posted on September 6, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We hadn’t done much on Friday or Saturday, apart from packing our cases and getting ready for a trip away. Yes! We are finally able to go away on holiday and, whilst it may not be as exciting as Chile and Easter Island, at least it would be a break and a change of scenery….

These City Walls

Posted on September 3, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up this morning on a day that wasn’t sure if it was going to be sunny, windy, or raining (or all three). Got showered, dressed, had our breakfasts then put on our trainers and left the house at 9.00am to walk to Durham train station. Today we were going to spend in the beautiful…

Ramblings of a Different Kind

Posted on September 2, 2020March 27, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When is a cruise not a cruise? Answer: when it’s been booked to take place in 2020 and is invariably cancelled due to the dreaded worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Regular readers of this blog will notice that there hasn’t been a single post made since November 2019; the longest time I’ve gone without writing anything since…
