Wanderbliss

I came, I saw, I wandered.

Historic Hiking in Gibraltar: On the surface, Gibraltar appears to be little more than a boozy, sun kissed British overseas territory. Best known for its status as a tax haven, the tiny 2 square mile town consists of a myriad of crumbling housing estates and cobbled roads lined with shops hawking duty-free alcohol sprinkled in with a few British high street brands. However, few of us tourists make the trek down here for just the town. The towering Rock of Gibraltar is the territory’s main attraction and in addition to some of the best hiking I’ve ever experienced, it’s home to (in my opinion) a treasure trove of grossly underappreciated historic artifacts and features.
Singapore as a Budget-Friendly Luxury Destination: Luxury travel is not something the majority of us can indulge in too often, and when we do, it can deal a pretty big blow to our savings accounts. That being said, I’m always on the hunt for great travel destinations where you can get a lot of bang for your buck. Southeast Asia is a well-known destination for travelers hoping to stretch their budget, but Singapore never seems to make anyone’s travel list. Perhaps it’s its image as a stiff, strict society or the fact that it doesn’t advertise its tourism industry much abroad, but Singapore does not get its due as a holiday destination.
A Day on the Danube: In celebration of our last weekend in Vienna, we decided to hop on a riverboat cruise down the Danube, towards the famed Wachau Valley. Meandering down one of Europe’s mightiest and most storied rivers, we passed by small town vineyards, rooftop fortresses and the obligatory nuclear power plant or two before reaching the fairytale town of Dürnstein. After hiking up a mountain in flip flops and trying out the local apricot ice cream, we returned to Vienna on a beautiful Sunday night.
A Photo Tour of Lower Normandy: The moment I first arrived in Lower Normandy following a lengthy ferry ride across the English Channel, my first instinct was to exhale. After spending months cooped up in the choking density of central London I felt a sense of relief from being in the presence of open fields and grazing land.

Cool Stuff: Eurocamp

Eurocamp

I came across Eurocamp whilst browsing through the travel section of the UK Telegraph as I do every week when I’m bored at work. They offer apartment, static caravan (mobile home) and tent rentals at very reasonable prices. This may not sound too appealing to those who don’t enjoy camping, but Eurocamp’s accomodations are stylish, quirky and well thought-out.

Prices start as low at 15 GBP/night/party and many of their rooms sleep 5+ people, making it a great option for group travel. At 15/night a group of 5 would only have to pay 3 GBP/night! Eurocamp also includes extra services like welcome packs (essential goodies like refreshments, toiletries, etc.), ferry and plane tickets. For the more adventurous traveller, Eurocamp also offers the option to buy a number of nights that can be used at any Eurocamp site.

I am planning a trip to Normandy, France and I think I will be trying out Eurocamp for the first time then!
