In January, a friend and I firmly vowed to one another that we would do our own mini weekend getaway together. We had quite a lot of flexibility on when we could travel so the big question was: where? I’d had Norway on my travel list for a while and, despite having grown up partially in Copenhagen which is only a short distance away, I’d never managed to visit the country. I was initially deterred because of how much Scandinanvia usually costs as a tourist, but after looking at both hotels and flights for off-peak March, we were sold.
Visiting Malta
Our four day getaway to Malta was fairly unexpected as visiting the country had never been in my sights until recently. We happened to be flying to and from Munich airport because of a family wedding in Austria, so we decided to pick a place that the airport flew to, to tag on a little holiday onto our trip.
Bikes, bridges & baked goods: Amsterdam
Amsterdam is one of the most popular cities in Europe and has been on my list of travel destinations for a while. With a short 50 minute flight from London Gatwick, it seemed like a perfect mini break to squeeze into a weekend.
