I make no apology for the fact that this is an incredibly picture heavy post… Don’t say I didn’t warn you. After our extensive exploration of the British Museum, we had a well-deserved break at Red Farm Covent Garden. Great food, the pastrami egg rolls are delicious, as are the giant Xiaolongbao (Soup Dumplings, served […]

London with Original Travel UK – Part 1
Original Travel UK started life some 16 years ago, when a group of friends left the City and joined forces to start a creative travel company specialising in Luxury Travel. This new venture grew quickly (winning countless awards along the way – like the Guardian’s Best Tour Operator twice!) and branched out into family holidays, […]
Alpine Adoration – Garmisch
Moving on from Mainz (and stopping as soon as we arrived in Bayern for our first authentic Brezen of the trip!) it wasn’t all that long before we were searching for mountain peaks on the horizon. I always get a flood of memories as soon as they come into view, from one of our very […]

More on that amazing weekend soon enough!)… Here’s a little […]
Kayaking Weeki Wachee Springs – Florida
If at any point you have driven between Clear Water and Orlando in Florida, you may well have spotted the rather retro looking sign for the Mermaid Park Weeki Wachee at the side of the road – it’s quite hard to miss. Back in the fifties, this park was one of the most popular tourist […]
Alligator Territory – Circle B Bar Reserve Lakeland Florida
Although we knew we were visiting Florida in the rainy season, it got to a point where one day we left our older two to be thoroughly spoilt by their Grandparents, got in the car and literally drove until we found the sun. It happened to be hiding in Lakeland, some two hours away. After […]
