For our summer holiday this year we were heading down to the Atlantic coast of France, not far from Bordeaux. However, rather than head to Gatwick, Luton or Stansted and fly out to Bordeaux, we decided to let the train take the strain and so we started our holiday with a night in a London hotel and an early morning walk over to London St. Pancras International.
Its been a while since we did a ‘five places’ post, so I’ve decided that its time for another, with 5 Extra Places to visit. Whilst for the most part this post will be the same as others in being a bucket list, this one is a little bit different as it actually includes a place I’ve already visited.
Having had a short but enjoyable time exploring Slovakia’s second city, I had jumped in a taxi from the outskirts of Košice’s old town to take me back to the airport in time for my flight back to the UK with Ryanair. Or at least Ryanair’s UK subsidiary, conveniently named Ryanair UK.
Following what had felt like a longer travel day than most, probably not helped by the hour delay to my flight, I arrived in Košice later than planned and so my explorations of Slovakia’s second city started in earnest the following morning.
Having returned from Derry less than three weeks earlier, I managed to squeeze another short trip away into June, with an overnight stay in the largest city in eastern Slovakia, Košice. As with a lot of my short European trips, this one started at Stansted with a cheap Ryanair flight.
Following an enjoyable couple of nights in Derry, it was time to head back to England and so I was back at City of Derry airport ready for my flight to Heathrow with Loganair.
