Our AirBnB Apartment in Alicante, Spain
I made the choice to stay in Alicante because of a few reasons. One because of the glorious weather down the south-east coast of Spain, two because of the ideal flight connection from Southampton after arriving there from the transatlantic cruise over from Miami on Celebrity Eclipse and three because I’d found a nice […]
Train Adventure From Alicante to Montpellier via Barcelona & Montpellier to Genoa via Marseille & Nice
Having done plenty of research on how to get to Genoa from Alicante I decided on taking the train. You’re probably thinking why didn’t we just take the plane instead well, for us it’s not just about getting from A to B quickly, it’s about the experience and going by train certainly ads to […]

MSC Cruise Overnight Stop in Palma
Today we were cruising along until 8.30pm when we started to dock alongside in Palma for our overnight stop! Like I mentioned yesterday I’ve no idea why they have this so late, it’s really only great for the young party goers, or do I see it wrong? What would you do after 9pm in Palma? […]
