Not all those who wander are lost, but I certainly am!
The Great Hall and the Hospital Wing were both filmed within the confines of the the university, and as I had to pick up my visa in Oxford it seemed to me the perfect opportunity to go! I definitely recommend going inside the university, either with a tour or just on your own to have a look around, but that’s not all Oxford has to offer.
f you love the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings books or movies, you should definitely go to set where Hobbiton was filmed. It’s still there, it’s now a functioning tourist attraction, and it is one of the most magical and nostalgic places I’ve ever been.
Cemeteries and graveyards have always held my fascination. I don’t consider it a morbid one, more an interest born of curiosity. The possibilities and stories are nigh on endless, and along a single path between the graves you’ll find each of the plots has one such story or another.
Everyone should visit the Dachau Memorial. The former concentration camp is the perfect example of pure, unacceptable, corrupting evil.
I have so many fond memories of Montreal from my childhood, sometimes it’s hard to believe that not everyone has visited. I know that’s a foolish thing to think but it’s true!
Given the time and the coin these are the top places I would love to revisit, and what I would do before my trip to make sure I made the most of it!
The literal translation of Marché aux Puces is flea market; and in essence that’s the concept. Like any flea market you will find stalls with merchants who sell things which have been previously owned. Some items are old, some newer. Still, I would hardly call the Marché aux Puces a typical fleamarket. Having experienced it myself I can easily say it’s so much more.
If you want to see London from great heights there are a couple of options available to you. You can climb the memorial for the Great Fire of London, there’s the top of St. Paul’s Basilica, and the top of the Shard. The most popular option however and the most well known is the London Eye.
Part of Ireland’s heritage and natural beauty, there’s a reason the Cliffs of Moher attract tourists from around the globe. Anyone who has been to the cliffs knows that the views from the top are spectacular. Sometimes.
