Phew! Can’t believe what seemed to be the most hottest summer ever, has finally come to a close. As you might know, Londoners recently had a taste of the scorching sun for a long time. I even heard some complain about how they wish it would cool down. Well, I’m not exempt as I found the heat at some point unbearable!

Since we had favorable weather this year, I found myself travelling around the southern coast of England instead of jetting off abroad and the trips were certainly worth it.

If you’re on a budget travelling around your home country is just as great.

Here is a handful of places I visited solo as well as with family:

Riverboats on the River Thames near Chelsea Bridge

The Thames being one of London’s many iconic landmarks never ceased to surprise my eyes. These boathouses can be found on the riverbank. A calm spot for a Sunday walk to clear your head of clutter or for sight-seeing or even for a picnic.

What an incredible part of the English countryside. Visiting this unspoilt part of the world opened my eyes to the fact that when we have great weather, it is possible to see England’s landscape from a different perspective.

Summer was an adventurous story of Summer 2018 in a nutshell.

Excited to say that Journeywithbola is undergoing new development. Stay tuned!
