We were fortunate enough to have our balcony overlooking Hospital De Sant Pau just outside of our bedroom. With such a stunning view we couldn't resist making use of the little table and chairs and some coffee and muffins (complimentary of our hosts).

As well as wanting to get… Continue reading A Walk around Birgu
New York, New York! Our trip to NYC was jam packed, exhilarating and exhausting. Over the space of those 14 days we walked 190km only taking the subway once and a return train to New Jersey.
