BMW Museum & BMW Welt Neither of us are particularly into cars but visiting the BMW Museum is kind of The Done Thing™ so we duly took the U-Bahn up to Olympiazentrum to put lots of vehicles into our eyeholes. BMW Welt is just kind of a showroom and is free to enter. If you [...]

City Break: Munich, Germany – Markets & Food
Tarrant had had her little heart set on visiting some actual, proper German Christmas markets for bloody ages, so this year off we fucked to Munich in order to consume our body weight in Bratwurst.

She's still walking with a stick and [...]
City Break: Oslo, Norway
The decision to fuck off to Oslo during The Void, you know, that weird vortex between Christmas and New Year which usually consists entirely of leftovers and cheese, was a spontaneous one. I was chatting to a friend who lives in Oslo and she mentioned how her upcoming trip to London would be more expensive [...]
