    Oh Oslo, you are a town that is so fresh from anything we have seen before. So clean, safe and ever so cool. It’s safe to say that I fell completely head over heels in love with the Norwegian City of Oslo. It’s two weeks since we were there and I’m still walking around in that “holiday bliss” phase (which I’m sure will disappear soon!) After booking some very reasonable flights from Manchester and a rather chic hotel for Mr C’s Christmas present, I have been counting down the days since the 25th December for this trip. I’m hoping I can share with you some of the fun we had (go watch the vlog too!), along with places to see and things to do during our weekend in Oslo, and maybe you might just want to give this little corner of the world a visit!

    HOW TO SAVE FOR YOUR TRAVEL PLANS

    I spend many an hour trawling various holiday sites. I want to visit every last corner of the earth. I feel that travelling is the most empowering and most educating thing you could ever do, otherwise you aren’t open to new foods, cultures & lifestyles. It breaks my heart that some people refuse to leave England or worse still, expect all the comforts of home as soon as they set foot on foreign soil. Of course, travelling costs a lot of money. The time old quote of ”If travelling were free, you’d never see me again” rings many bells. I manage between 2-3 holidays a year, I’m on an okay-wage and own my own house and often people ask us how to save for your travel plans  (and how the heck we can afford to go on so many holidays) so I’m hoping my tips can help you travel on your holiday of a lifetime and make your dreams come a reality.

    Snapshots of Sorrento & Capri | QueenBeady

    In the last of my honeymoon posts I feel a little sad. The Wedding Diary and Snapshot posts have been keeping things alive for me post-wedding. I hope you have been enjoying them as much as I have.
    Lastly, but by no means least I bring you Capri Island. The millionaires paradise off the Coast of Napoli. Some of the most beautiful views can be found here, and after a very rough boat ride journey from Sorrento (yes, I was very nearly poorly sick!) I’m so glad we made it through the horrendous weather and got the Island in one piece.

    Where we were dropped off by the boat was what can only be described as ‘’Paradise’’

    We hopped on a local bus that took us to the top of Capri and to the main town centre which is where you start to see all the high rollers shopping in THOSE expensive shops. God, I wish I had had all the money in the world because there was some serious shopping to be had. I even found the real deal Moschino phone cases!

    Once explored the main town we headed down to harbour on the Funicular to have an ice cream on the sea front and watch the boats come in.

    The one thing Mr C & I loved about Sorrento was that there are so many beautiful places to discover, all offering completely different experiences. Whilst we didn’t jet off to some far flung destination like the Maldives or the Caribbean for our honeymoon, Italy was spot on for us. Romantic, terribly mystifying and beautiful. We could not have been any happier with our first Italian experience and I do hope that in the future we can head over there again to celebrate an anniversary in years to come.

    Italy will now always have a special place in our heart.

    Yours truly,
