RSS feed for this sectionWhat to See With a Day in Gaeta, Italy
Moni & I were staying in Formia for nearly three months over winter 2016/17. Gaeta is the town closest to Formia and the train station often comes up in a search as Formia-Gaeta. That confused me at first when I was trying to book my train tickets online. Day 1021 – December 17th, 2016 How […]
The Quiet Town of Formia on Province of Latina, Italy
Formia is a quiet town on the coast of Italy just an hour north of Naples. I decided on Formia as our next place to stay as it was reasonably close to Genoa where we would be joining our MSC Poesia for a 7 day Mediterranean cruise. With Formia being on the coast and reasonably […]

Even though we have the pleasure of staying 52 days on Malta, time still flies by and getting to see lots is always a challenge when running a business as location independent nomads. The life / business balance is challenging and sometimes frustrating. Anyway… Today we chose to pop into Valletta. Why today of all […]
A Walk Around St Julian’s & Sliema
We decided on a quick day out to Sliema & St Julian’s today. The bus number 212 from Bugibba brought us all the way to Sliema in just over an hour. The buses are often very busy and this particular bus was full departing the station even before stopping to pick up passengers at any […]

Images From a Walk Around Madrid
We took the Renfe train from Madrid airport to Atocha station and began our day in the city there. The station looks very grand indeed, along with many other buildings in the city. We found a busy little side street and enjoyed a nice lunch. The ever popular menu de dia […]
The Best Way to Get From Madrid Airport to The City
There are many ways to get from Madrid airport to the city, all of which you can google. However, when we visited the city the best option was the Renfe train. Also worth noting was that the metro line 8 which connects to the airport was not in service due to construction work. The best […]
Great Coffee and Bakery at Granier Las Palmas
You probably know that we are coffee snobs… And so you will be pleased to find out that we have found a decent place to get our daily fix. I’m not usually a friend of franchise places but we’ve found this one here in Gran Canaria to be very consistent and offer great value. You […]
