    The second full day with our weekend in Oslo at the end of May saw us head on a bit of a wild goose chase. We just couldn’t find anywhere like the Nighthawk Diner (if you click this link you will enter the world of the best breakfast I have EVER eaten!) for brunch that I had a (minor) paddy. We ended up sharing a Subway that was about 5 feet away from our hotel after a good hour or so of traipsing around finding somewhere to eat. Some of you may know when my levels reach “hangry” I am not to be messed with so the steak, cheese & chilli foot long was exactly what I needed to make sure we had a pleasant day seeing some more of the cities sights which were dotted around the city. The first stop was the Royal Palace and the view down to Karl Johans Gate which was only a five or ten minute walk from our hotel, HTL Grensen.

    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!

    Road Trippin’ with eShores | QueenBeady

    eShore route 66

    For those of you who are long time or regular readers of my blog you’ll know I’ve got an incurable case of wanderlust. It’s funny how now that I’m no longer in the Travel Industry I travel a lot more. With four trips booked this year, one of which took place in March, I’m always looking for new and exciting destinations to get my teeth into, be it soaking up the sun in Mexico, to wandering the streets of Nice, to people watching in Amsterdam, I know I’m at my happiest exploring. The infamous Route 66 turns a grand old age of 90 this year and eShores is celebrating with various bloggers by sending them a pack of goodies to keep them occupied on a long road trip!

  • The East Coast, Madeira | QueenBeady

    Madeira House

    I’m sure you will be absolutely sick to death of hearing about my trip to Madeira. What with all my blog posts, twitter updates and instagram posts I’ve not stopped banging on about it, so soz #sorrynotsorry. My last post is all about our full day Safari road trip of the East Coast, Madeira. The more rugged side of the island. We ummed and ahhed about whether we should do the East or West but after chatting with a local guide it seemed that East was more suited to what we were looking for, plus James wanted to go to one of the highest points on the island, Pico do Arieiro (I think Mr C has a serious thing for heights?)

    Nuns Valley Church

    Stunning. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Breath taking. Just a few of the words I have used time and time again to describe Madeira. I feel like a walking cliché whenever I use them but it’s just so hard not to fall in love with an Island that offers so much beauty with every step you take. It’s a diverse island, from the Sunny & golden Beached South West to the Luscious, green East side there is always something or somewhere to go not too far away. Half way through our trip to Madeira we took a half day trip to Nuns Valley – one of the highest points on the island with fear inducing drops…
