I had heard HEAPS about PADELLA, which is located just outside the famour Borough Markets. And then we walked past one day, and I realised that a lot of other people had also heard of PADELLA! We jokingly asked how long the wait would be […]
When a friend recommended DE PLANTAGE to me, I knew immediately knew I’d like it. First of all, it’s INSIDE the zoo. Well, by that I mean it’s in a public part of the zoo that you can visit without paying for an entrance ticket. If you’re […]
Man, Aussies really do get around (as I mentioned in my last post!). We found another very Aussie cafe in Amsterdam. You know when it’s called LITTLE COLLINS that it’s definitely got to do with Melbourne. It’s just such an iconic location / name! So we […]

I was looking through my Germany archives on the blog [helpful hint if you didn’t already know: my blogposts are categories with the links up the top, according to some of the places I visit the most!] and I simply CANNOT believe I haven’t […]
