Hello! This is Susann writing about the highlights in Boston. When we started to plan our trip to North America, it was my wish that we’d spend at least a couple of days here. As a matter of fact, Boston was one of the cities on my list. As far as the US is concerned,…
When heading to North America we had already made sure to have tickets for an NHL game. When in Boston, we still had almost a week to that one game, the home opener for San Jose Sharks. We had already been lucky in Montréal to get tickets for the pre-season game between Montreal Canadiens and…
What happens when a town is haunted by its past? Once upon a time, women and men were burned at the stake for witchcraft and wizardry. One town was notoriously famous for this practice and that small town was Salem. Located in Massachusetts, on the east coast of the United States, it is today mostly…
Not too far from Downtown Boston, in Revere, you find the oldest public beach in the United States. Eight kilometers outside the city this beach is stretching for almost five more kilometers. It dates back to 1896 when it was made the first public beach in the country. Not much is left of the many…
After four days in Montréal, it was time for a new adventure across the border in the US. This time we were heading for Boston. As you know, it’s a city with a lot of history and that has played a big part in the forming of the country. It is also a city that…
After our 6-hour-short stop in Amsterdam, we finally arrived in Canada on Sunday evening. For us, this was a completely new country, even though we had heard many great things about it in the past. Not to mention all the dramatic ice hockey games between especially Sweden and Canada in the last two decades. We…
Already during our first evening in Montréal, our Airbnb host Olivier mentioned the Lachine Canal. At that time he suggested us to rent bikes and ride along the canal. We did, however, never rent any bikes in Montréal. But we did find our way to the beginning of the Lachine Canal during our last day…
Sometimes it is nice to get out of the big cities. Smaller towns and villages usually have more charm and tell you a lot more about the country that you are visiting. During our first trip to Canada, we didn’t get too far outside of Montréal. The places we did eventually visit during our third…
Mount Royal rises right on the edge of Downtown Montréal. It is this mountain, or hill depending on how you look at it, that has given the city of Montréal its name. The mountain, with its peak at 233 meters above sea level, could almost be considered the central park of Montréal. Upon entering the…
Montréal might be famous for many things, but one seems to be stand out above the rest – ice-hockey. The Montreal Canadiens are one of the original six in the National Hockey League together with the teams from Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New York, and Toronto. Since the end of the Quebec Nordiques, when they moved…
What do you do when booking a trip with a layover somewhere? Do you try to minimize the time spent waiting or do you look for some to explore a new place? Of course, it really depends on where you are going and how much time you have. At least that is the case for…
We recently visited the Canary Island of Tenerife. As with many other southern European countries, I didn’t think I would ever have the confidence to drive in Spain. Then you start to consider that Tenerife is an island, and I had already driven on both Madeira and Kefalonia. How big a difference could it be?…
