Barcelona v Tottenham – Away Day Review – 12 Hours in Barcelona.
Back in 2018, we booked a trip for Emma’s birthday so we could visit Naples, Florence and Bologna over 7 days. We were getting everything arranged to travel and booking the accommodation when Tottenham drew Barcelona in the Champions League! That was it, Michael wanted nothing more than to go. We had previously been to a Barcelona and Real Madrid game earlier in the year so hearing his team were going to be playing them, he had to squeeze it in to our itinerary.

Worst Travel Experiences
Well, it isn’t an actual holiday where the issue lay with Emma’s worst holiday experience.

However, what occurred on the return flight home has to be heard to be believed…

Mostar
Now, visiting Bosnia wasn’t actually on our itinerary when we planned our Croatian Adventure. However, once we had the car hire sorted, we were free to travel where we wanted to. Michael is a huge Coach Trip fan and he always remembers the episode where they go to Mostar. So, it was goodbye Croatia and Hello Bosnia for the day. We couldn’t resist ticking another country off our list. The drive would only be two hours so we thought, why not? Mostar was stunning but it’s safe to say we got quite a culture shock…

Roker and Seaburn Beaches, Sunderland
Roker and Seaburn are two of the well known beaches in North East. For us, they are among the best, especially when the sun is shining. They really showcase our beautiful North East coastline and offer some fantastic walking routes. With plenty of paid and free parking, there’s really no excuse not to visit.

Zadar
We had pre-planned this as part of our Croatia adventure, as well as Split and Dubrovnik. Michael had done some research and found Zadar. Zadar is a coastal city north of Split which is full of history. This was the final location where we stayed in Croatia.

Krka National Park
Krka National Park is famous for it’s series of seven waterfalls. We had seen photographs of the park on social media and it looked amazing. We just had to find out for ourselves.
