I braved the cold breeze (okay breeze is remaining form) and headed into central Gothenburg and began by receiving a svelte haircut in a store on one particular of the city’s fashionable pedestrian-only streets. With a number of lbs of hair missing from my head, I made my way through downtown and stopped at the Maritime Museum (Sweden’s largest floating museum/Sweden’s only accessible U-Boat) and walked by a destroyer, many fishing vessels, and of course a U-boat. I then caught a tour of the Gothenburg Opera Property, 1 of Europe’s newest but most notable opera corporations, in which we were proven throughout the backstage and all around the nautical-themed foyer.

A buddy and I had Tapas at La Sombrita on Lilleplatan, a single of the very best parts of the city for restaurants and bars.

Now I started out out early and created my way by means of Slottskoggsparken to the zoo which recreates the North Nation of Sweden for the numerous elk, moose, and goats that roam the rocky terrain. I hopped on 1 of the trams that is Gothenburg’s main transportation process and visited the City Museum to see the only remaining Viking ship in Sweden (remains is the crucial word), then finally strolled down the Avenue, the Champs-Élysée of Gothenburg, to examine out the numerous outlets and eating places the street is regarded for.

Why Koh Mook is My New Favourite Thai Island

I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand. It’s one of my favourite countries in the world, however basic that may make me. I just can’t get enough of this beautiful, warm, and fascinating country. Ever since my first visit in 2011, I’ve made the effort to return each and every year, and with each new visit, I attempt to check out a new part of the country.  Last year, it was time to visit the Trang islands, and they fast became my favourite area in all of Thailand. And Koh Mook? My new favourite island. My first glimpse of Koh Mook, from the ferry ride to shore. Yeah, that beach looked pretty wonderful. I’d loved the previous few days I’d spent on expensive Koh Ngai, but I was excited to move on. Island-hopping in Thailand is one of my favourite pastimes so the prospect of checking out a new spot always has me bouncing around a ferry with excitement.  Koh Mook was just a seven-mile journey from Koh Ngai, so we reached the island in around ...

Road Tripping Dartmoor National Park

Exploring Dartmoor in the Vauxhall Mokka X United Kingdom Petting a wild pony in Dartmoor National Park probably wasn’t the best idea. It lunged for my hand, attempting to bite. There’s a reason these furry ponies are called “wild!” Dartmoor has sometimes been described as the ‘last wilderness’ of the United Kingdom. Its vast open landscape is home to a variety of unique features — wet peaty bogs, stunted oak forests, rocky outcroppings called “tors”, and icy mountain waterfalls. If you’re looking to escape London for a while, Dartmoor National Park is an excellent place to relax and enjoy the serenity of nature. The park is only a 4-5 hour drive away from the hustle & bustle of the city. My friends at Vauxhall loaned me their new Mokka X SUV for the trip, a fun city-friendly turbo diesel with 4×4 capability that can handle off-the-beaten-path adventures.
