Abu Dhabi Louvre

My main goal today is to visit the Louvre Abu Dhabi. After a bit of a sleep in, I head downstairs to check out the very generous breakfast offering the hotel has. There are multiple stations with all variety of food available. So I avail myself of a very hearty breakfast before heading out and catching a taxi to the Louvre.

Yas Island, Abu Dhabi

I'm excited to start the day here on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi! Since this isn't my first time visiting, I have a few specific things in mind. The first is actually my accommodations. Ever since college, I've been a pretty big fan of Formula 1. And only recently have I started to add visiting F1 tracks to my travel bucket list! Coincidentally the Yas Marina Circuit is home to one of these F1...

Upon arriving at Luxembourg's train station, I hop on a tram that takes me into the centre of the city....

After browsing the menu I order a smoked salmon and avocado toast. While it is a very good breakfast offering, it isn't too dissimilar to many popular breakfast spots we have at home and across North...

Bruges

I will be spending the next two days in Bruges, Belgium. Ever since the Colin Farrell Movie In Bruges, its always been a place of interest for me. So on this trip I make it a point to spend at least a day or two here to check out the hype! However in order to get there I need to take a series of trains due to some maintenance. This will take me through a few small towns and Antwerp station which...
