The food in Copenhagen does not disappoint. We also wanted to get a taste of more traditional Danish fare and Nyhavnskroen has rave reviews, so we wanted to see what it was about.

Timeout Market in Lisbon, Portugal

Timeout Market - a warehouse sized space that opened in May 2014, serves as a market, a cafeteria, a museum, and a gathering space. Come here and within stalls of each other, you will find decadent desserts, fresh seafood, succulent meat, and so much more. Lisbon is a relatively affordable city considering the quality and freshness of the food, as well as the intricacies of some dishes. Timeout Market is just a convenient location to eat, soak in the culture, and even buy some souvenirs.

Poppie's Fish and Chips in London, England

Poppie's Fish and Chips is a staple for Britain's most famous dish consisting of fried battered fish and what we call fries. It's a common fast food or take away food in the UK. Some of the best fish and chips platters can be found in local shops, but Poppie's is a nice chain restaurant. They have a varied menu with everything from jellied eels to mushy peas to roast chicken. And of course the famous fish and chips which come in cod or haddock.

Travel Itinerary: A Weekend on Block Island

One of my favorite things to do during summertime is find a place for a nice weekend getaway so I can see a new place without breaking into the vacation bank. It's an island, decently sized for a good hour moped ride or five hour bike ride (crazy hills at times though) and perhaps way to big to stroll around (though it's possible). This itinerary is a bit different than my usual ones. There's way less walking, and a more casual listing of what to do on the island.

The Surf Hotel in Block Island

We had a superb first lunch on the island at The Surf Hotel. Originally, the building was the residence of Dr. T.C. Mann who was a doctor. In 1876, it was purchased and made into a hotel. We opted for fun drinks. I had a salad as an appetizer and mussels which could also serve as appetizers. The portions are huge and the food is very fresh.

This island is the capital of the Bahamas with a lively downtown commerce area and historical sights. My day in Nassau, Bahamas (itinerary repeated twice) consisted of the following.
