When I worked in travel and when someone wanted to know about Rome’s must-do sights, the usual always popped up. The Coliseum, The Trevi Fountain (FYI so beautiful), The Pantheon and of course, the infamous Spanish Steps. The latter, I stood at the bottom, looking up with my husband. It was teaming with tourists and we just looked at each other.
“What is so amazing about these steps?”
Waking up in the rather large, cosy, king sized bed at the Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel was a type of morning I’d like to repeat. Every weekend. But sadly I can’t. My bank balance probably wouldn’t thank me and there’s a small issue of who would look after the dog. So when we do get to enjoy, boy am I going to saviour it. Probably one of the snuggliest beds I’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in, my night sleep was perfect. With a quick cup of tea before heading down for breakfast, it meant I could revel in for an extra 15 minutes longer.
2016 has been filled with some of the most exciting travel adventures I could have dreamt possible. We have been lucky enough to travel abroad four times this year, which for two people who only get 20 days annual leave a year, is pretty good going. Having been in the travel industry (before moving on to pastures new) for eight years, travelling and heading on holiday has always been a top priority for me. It seems selfish to some to go away that many times a year but I want to explore the world bit by bit because I am madly, deeply in love with learning about the world whilst getting a break from every day life. Everyone has their vices, right? Mine just happens to be travel!
Imagine all your wildest, childhood dreams mixed with the finest food you would possibly ever taste. Stop. You’ve just imagined the La Rotonde at The Negresco Hotel, Nice. This little slice of wonder is situated on Nice’s seafront promenade with gorgeous views out to sea. One of two restaurants at the Negresco Hotel (which I might add does divine cocktails and definitely worth a splurge one night to experience the place) the La Rotonde is set out like a fairground carousel, complete even with carousel horses. Did I just enter Disneyland on the South of France?
