In general, 2007 was bit of mixed bag for travel. We made
the best of our Easter time trip to Copenhagen
and Stockholm during both of managed to come back with
the henous of colds and coughs. As I have been to Stockholm
before, the lack of concentration on this trip was not as
much of a problem as it might have been but would otherwise
have been problematic. Thankfully, we had a pleasant
hotel to stay in while we mixed the sightseeing with
recovery.
We
did, however, manage to bounce back for a rather enjoyable
weekend in Berne and Fribourg for our next trip which
was a very pleasant stay during a warm Swiss summer.
Our next big trip after Copenhagen and Stockholm would be
to New Zealand. As with
our previous
trip to New Zealand, we would be visiting family on the
North Island but this time would then head down to the South
Island for a week. Whilst in New Zealand, I was able
to induge my interest in wine and changed my opinion on Pinot
Noir which I now really appreciate - but only if it comes
from Central
Otago!

The year was nicely rounded off with a visit to the Terracotta Army at British Museum, which we had been looking forward to for some time. Our visit to the British Museum, has only hardened our resolve to see the Terracotta Army when we visit China in 2009.
