My original plan had been to explore Helsinki again on my layover. I did not take into account I would be going from 32C weather to 6 (feels like 3). Maybe I'll just stay inside...

Started copying over photos from my camera. I switched to mostly using my phone on this trip (as I get anxious about losing photos so could instantly backup phone ones) so didn't think I'd have that many but nope, still over 5000.

Backed up all my photos now and started to look through and found this photo of Komodo national park. Such a beautiful place!

Last December I was away every single weekend for a Christmas market. I loved it but it was very busy. I decided this year to be a bit more relaxed. So instead I've booked a weekend in Morocco to enjoy a hammam.

Booked flights for November! Finally going back to the canary islands. I went as a baby so don't count it, but found really cheap flights to Fuerteventura so couldn't resist. I've got Italy and France in December too which is exciting.

I kept missing them earlier this year, but finally got to see the northern lights! Barely visible by the naked eye but look how pretty they look on camera!

Time for a change to my usual style of travel - I'm at an all inclusive for a week to relax with my sisters! The buffet had a lot of blue cheese, so I was instantly happy. I'm going to eat so much cheese.

Got to see lots of lemon sharks today! So adorable.

Me: I've got lots of travel planned for the rest of the year, I don't need to book anything else. Also me: Ooh, cheap flights to Poland! I can have more pierogis!

Came to Spain for the weekend to get some nice sun and sea! Had a lovely swim and can't wait to swim again tomorrow.

Had a lovely day in Wroclaw! Went on a walking tour, spotted lots of dwarves and tried the local specialty of red cabbage stew along with having a delicious white chocolate and lavender pretzel. Would love to go back and spend longer there to see it in the evening.
