Iceland Day 3

For this day we got to see plenty more waterfalls whilst the sun was shining. We got to see a glacier up close whilst trying not to slip over. The main thing though was that this was our last chance to see the Aurora Borealis.

Iceland Day 2

The Golden Circle was a tour of many different sights. We started with a church, and moved on to a massive waterfall, and to the place the word geyser comes from. We even got to see a gap between tectonic plates. One thing that was ever present though, was the snow.

Iceland Day 1

An evening flight meant that we wouldn't be arriving at the hotel in Reykjavik until the early hours of the following morning. We'd then have several hours of sleep before a day of tours for the first proper day of the trip.

Budapest is a city my sister has wanted to visit for several years as she thought "the buildings look cool". Having changed my mind about returning to Greece just yet, I decided this would be a good o…

Cyprus
My first trip to Cyprus had been for a half marathon race that never took place. It'd been postponed until 2022, but due to timings I decided to defer until the 2023 event as it'd work better that way…

Another week, another half marathon. Could I edge closer to being a sub-90 runner again, and beat Copenhagen and Cardiff? I certainly wasn't sure, but I was going to give it a go.…
