Liz and Rob are two Kiwis travelling around the world, doing their thing, getting into mischief the world over. They were in Australia but have since moved on (Australians smell funny, see).
They are currently in Europe (where the people smell a different kind of funny).

For Easter this year, we wanted to go on a wee roadtrip and see some more of this country. We’ve made several trips around England, 3 to Scotland but only 1 to Wales. We’d heard that Pembrokeshire in the South West of Wales was a beautiful part of the country, so loaded the car and head off. It’s a 5 hour drive to Tenby in Pembrokeshire where we were staying, so we planned a couple of stops on a cold [...]
Some of these pub photos are old. Strangely, there’s one pub from July 2011 that I forgot we visited, so didn’t catalogue sooner. So we’ll start with the oldest photos, The Rock, a Greene King pub that’s right on a main road. So while it was lovely to sit out in the sun, the traffic whizzing past wasn’t so great. Still, it one of the better pub options near the Cineworld cinema. Haha! I’m wearing glasses. Don’t need those since the [...]
Berlin has 5 amazing museums all on one island – Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With the 1 day allocated for museums, we weren’t going to visit all of them, so we picked the best two – Neues Museum and Pergamon Museum. The building to the left in the picture above, the Neues Museum, was severely damaged in a series of bombings by the Allies in WWII.

The east side of the wall had a guarded ‘death strip’ to prevent East Berliners crossing, so their side of the wall was plain. This gallery is symbolic because it is on the east side of the wall, expressing the [...]
We had a brilliant trip in Munich, but weren’t done with Germany yet, no! A couple of our friends organised a new year’s trip to Berlin and we agreed to go along! On our first evening, we knew we were going to like this city. Our hotel was next to a WWII bunker. Awesome. On our first day, we decided to go on one of the famous walking tours they have in Berlin. We were anxious about an expected 4 [...]
