Stratford-upon-Avon
…and another place to visit if you’re into visiting special places, e.g., the place where Shakespeare wrote his books. Or maybe not… Historians don’t know anything about this gentleman but his date of birth and death. All the rest is pure speculation and theories came from an alien planet. Meaning: no history lessons this time [...]

On Middle Earth and Narnia
Geek stuff time! So, who doesn’t like J.R.R.Tolkien and C.S.Lewis? Everybody does! or almost… (sorry V., I know you hate it!). I’m a huge fan (and so is G.) and we’ve decided to go there long time ago but for some reason we never had the chance to visit Oxford, the city where magnificent books [...]

…and the castle saga continues…
So G. arrived yesterday and we (G., the other G., H. and I) decided to go to Warwick Castle (built in 1068), you know, another castle in England Always fun for the castle lovers like me.

Summer post on Weston-super-Mare
‘A day on the beach in England???’. That was my reaction when someone told me we were going to the beach with the uni. I mean, England is famous for many many things but not for its beaches, for sure! Even so, I had to give the benefit of the doubt. Who knows? Perhaps there’s [...]

The green tights conspiracy
OK, imagine you live in Coventry and you decide to go to Nottingham, you know, so you can take a breath of fresh air. What if I tell you that you would end up in the East Midlands airport? Friday, 06:00pm. New email: ‘Unfortunately your trip to Nottingham will have to be canceled due to [...]

Worcester (you read it Uõsta, don’t ask me why)
Hi guys! Free trip with the university and therefore, you can’t expect much! I and Hugo managed to turn something awful into something quite pleasant! In the pictures, of course. Anyway, just a city like all the others you can find in United Kingdom. Although it didn’t worth the time to get there, getting out [...]

Blenheim Palace – A.K.A: Wow!
Is this amazing or what? I wish I could say we have something similar in Portugal but we don’t! This place is absolutely astonishing…the 1001 gardens, the maze, the lake and the cascade… If you’re sick and tired of being at home and if you don’t know what to do on a Saturday afternoon buy [...]
