Rebel Summer Camp part 2: Sunday and Monday

October 14, 2024

In part 1, I told you what the Rebel Badge Club is and what Rebel Summer Camp is all about so if you don’t know, you can go and read that. In the meantime, I’m jumping straight into part 2, Sunday and Monday. Greta 2’s first scheduled activity at 9.30am was board games. I’m not … More Rebel Summer Camp part 2: Sunday and Monday

Rebel Summer Camp part 1: Friday and Saturday

October 10, 2024

Let’s talk about the other big exciting thing I did this summer: I went to Rebel Summer Camp 2024! I didn’t go last year; it was a lot of money and I had doubts about whether a single person can put on an event of that scale. For context, it’s about the same price as … More Rebel Summer Camp part 1: Friday and Saturday

📌 Museo Picasso, Málaga 📌 Alcazaba de Málaga 📌 Málaga Cathedral 📌 Málaga 📌 Málaga Here’s a school trip I’ve never really mined, because I don’t remember enough details and I haven’t yet uncovered a diary. But this is Spain somewhere around June 2001. We drove all the way from the UK to Cordoba, slept one night on the coach (I think) and another at a hotel near Barcelona after breaking down on the France-Spain border. And that's it for my little adventure to the West Bohemian Spa Triangle. Three towns, plus a bonus day-and-a-bit in Prague, six trains, three pools (plus some fairly indifferent hotel pools), a lot of spring water, more selfies than I realised, an average of 3.5 miles of walking each day and I think I've finished up on nine blog posts. When my guidebook said Prague is a city of many architectural styles, it wasn’t wrong. The Mordor-esque towers round every corner were the first to catch my attention but second was this grey and yellow double act and then I began to notice all sorts of stuff. Of course, the Dancing House is so well-known its become a tourist attraction in its own right and for someone who likes a bit of Gothic and a bit of Art Deco, I found myself spotting and enjoying Art Nouveau, mostly in greens and golds. And of course there’s the more traditional. There’s something to look at round every corner. 📌 Charles Bridge, Prague

About Julie

I'm a blogger, adventurer, lover of hot water, amateur paddler and polar bear who wilts in hot weather. Time (by day, I'm a researcher) and funds keep me within Europe and I make regular trips up to the north, especially to Iceland. I like the occasional adventure across Europe by train and I'm starting to make use of my weekends for 48-hour adventures. This isn't my only creative outlet - I've written two travelogues (one on a winter adventure across the Arctic Circle and one on exploring volcanoes during a warm summer road trip around Iceland) plus a little book of Icelandic pools and I have a fourth book in progress right now.
