FACTS ABOUT YE OLDE TRIP TO JERUSALEM

By -
Those travelling to Nottingham, the city of Robin Hood, should not miss a couple of important places and one of them is Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem.

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is considered to be one of the oldest pubs in England dating from 1189 AD.

You can find the place few minutes away from Nottingham Castle, between few caves out of sandstone of Castle Rock.

It is amazing sitting in a cave for your breakfast/lunch/dinner, especially on the hot weather during summer.

Here are some facts about the oldest pub:

1. The previous name was The Pilgrim.
2. On the same place, it used to be a brewhouse for Nottingham Castle (around 1067).
3. The name of Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem was given around 1799.
4. The word ''trip'' does not mean a journey but just a stop or a rest on the way to Jerusalem. 
5. It was crusaders favourite place to stop by on their way to Holy Land (Jerusalem).

The pub has thousands of visitors yearly, so once you are Nottingham, you can't skip a good drink or a meal. 

They serve a great range of Asles and you can taste their own as well, Ye Old Trip. 
The prices are acceptable, around £9 for a steak burger, £8 for a sandwich, side and drink; £11 for a burger and drink. Find the menu here. 

Hope you will enjoy your stay and let me know your thoughts upon your return.

HOW DID ROMANIA CHANGE THE WORLD?

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined. We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one).  In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy. But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know: 1. Petrache Poenaru invented world's first fountain pen. photo: http://www.cunoastelumea.ro/ 2. The Romanian scientist Nicolae Paulescu invented the insulin.  photo: http://www.rounite.com/ 3. The

TIPS FOR STORING YOUR LUGGAGE IN VENICE

Venice- the city with 118 islands, and 417 bridges 72 of which are private has a lot to offer no matter of the low or high season. Today I will share with you how I got to Venice and where I left my luggage for a day trip within the city. I took the overnight train from Rome to Venice, however, I will admit this was not a brilliant idea. The slow train is not worth the traveling time and gets out all of your energy. I booked my tickets with Loco2  as they had a better offer than TrenItalia.  Book your trip as soon as you have decided on your dates because the prices are increasing tremendously from one day to another. It seems that they are subject to availability (for example, today you can get a ticket Rome-Venice for 9 euros and in a week it can go up to 50 euros). So, first, check Train Italia and if the options are not as expected, try some agencies, like Loco2. Our train departed at 22:35 and arrived at 05:20. A bit early, huh? That's why I recommend departing a

HOW AMERICA IS DOING IT DIFFERENTLY

I had the chance to spend over a month in the US the last December and what I can say is that never stops surprising me. It was not my first time there, I have been in the States for one year in 2008 as an exchange student in Michigan. I remember few things when I was in 2008 in Michigan as an exchange student.  My first day of school: nice pants, a nice shirt and high heels. I got to school and the students were wearing  T-Shirts, a pair of converse and end of story.  I was wearing shirts, skirts a lot of times and I was asked if there is a special even today, maybe it is my birthday. This was a real cultural shock. However, being based on my experiences, now I see the culture shock differently. And this is how American lifestyle transited my latest travel experience: 1. People DO NOT walk . I mean, walk from one side to another of the city. If they see you walking, this means you got lost. Interesting, huh? Tested it myself, however you can see a few of them on t
