Checking out the newly opened @bk_southsea today and trying the most amazing gins, while the boys drink some different craft beers. Can't wait to show you guys some more photos.

This time last year I was planning a Christmas trip to Edinburgh, and it was so much fun circulating the Christmas markets and seeing all the shops covered in decorations that we've decided to go away again this year, only to Vienna. So today, since it's a bit too wet to go outside, I'm researching things to do. Anybody else here been to Vienna? Is there anything you'd recommend?

There are 26 James Bond movies now, 26! So as you can imagine, the crew get about a bit, trying to find locations to shoot the movies. One of which is in Prague, at the @strahov_library_gallery, which Jess and I found in the Philosophical Hall. It appears as the House of Commons in Casino Royale. You can see Judi Dench here as M, and Tobias Menzies as Villiers.

I know it's a bit late in the evening, but I felt a sudden rush of productivity, so wrote a new post about some fun Harry Potter themed things to do in York. I visited back in September with my mum and was surprised to see how much the city had embraced the franchise. This is just one of three stores dedicated to Harry Potter in the city centre. Make sure to check out the post to find out more. Have you ever been to a Harry Potter store before?

People keep asking me what my favourite part of Budapest was, and it was hands down this little literary restaurant we found, @konyvbar. Each month, they have a themed menu based on a different book, and when we visited, it was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - which is one of my favourite Harry Potter books, so I was super excited. Each course was based on a different aspect of the book - there were 5 in total - including The Dark Mark, The Goblet of Fire, The Golden Egg, Polyjuice Potion, and The Maze. Can you guess which one is which? (I didn't get a decent picture of one of the courses, but it included a little hip flask full of soup, so that should give you an idea of what that one was based on)

Another one of my favourite spots in Budapest - Fisherman's Bastion. Does it not look like Hogwarts? It felt like I was running around the castle, heading off to lesson. How do I manage to find Harry Potter-esk locations everywhere I go? Anyway, the 19th century Bastion has the most amazing views over Budapest, day and night, and is completely free to explore. Has anyone else here visited?
