Break in Berlin

Image
With Summer coming to an end and winter blues setting in, its the perfect time to plan a little winter trip to looking forward to. One of the best places I've been over the Christmas holidays is Germany's capital city, Berlin. From festive Christmas markets to museums and the infamous Berlin Wall, there so much to see and do whatever the weather. This blog  is my guide to how many days, what to see and what to eat on a short break to Berlin.  How Many Days in Berlin? Berlin is another perfect city for a midweek trip or long weekend away. Though you could probably squeeze it into 48 hours as I did with Budapest  , I found that four days was a great amount of time to see the sights and experience the culture, as well as chill out and enjoy my time away. What To Do in Berlin Museum Island On our first full day in the city, the weather was not great, and so myself and my best friend Helena took full advantage of Museum island, which was not too far from out hotel in Alexanderplatz.

This summer, on our way to Mauritus, my parents and I spent a few days exploring Dubai. Though it had never really been on our list, it seemed like an opportunity not to miss. With the possibility of 4 days staying at Dubai's famous Atlantis the Palm hotel before continuing onto Mauritius it seemed the perfect chance to see what we thought of the country... Our holiday was booked with Virgin Holidays and we flew out with Emirates. The efficiency was insanely excellent and the flight was actually bearable despite being nearly 8 hours long. The food was fairly decent, there was great in flight entertainment and fortunately there were spare seats so we were able to spread out and sleep comfortably.  Upon arriving in Dubai I was in awe of the grandeur and that was just the airport. The rest of the country certainly followed suit! The hotel was incredible, with an enormous lobby with an intricate statue and an aquarium wall. There were so many different restaurants to chose

It was an incredible experience and I would recommend getting a group of pals together and heading there Day 1 So, on the 11th April 2017 at 9:37 am (just to be precise), I hopped on a train to get to Manchester airport. Though the airport was roughly 5 hours away from me, it seemed to be in the middle of everyone, so I had to put up with the travelling! Pretty much everyone met at the Cafe Nero near the entrance of the airport, where one of our social secretaries, Meg, gave us fancy star sunglasses and leis. Once we were all kitted up a
