Patricia Bech Travel Notes

I am continuing with my staycation series because this summer, it seems that everyone wants to holiday at home. I think it is safer than getting on a plane, but that is my personal opinion at the moment. Of course, people can drive to Europe, but there are also some very nice places to visit […]

Lots of hotels are starting to open up again across the UK. For many people, it is less stressful getting in the car and driving to a hotel for a short mini break, than getting on a plane during these difficult times. While people are starting to fly to holiday destinations again, COVID-19 has also […]

During lockdown I have been trying to stay as fit and healthy as possible. Normally at this time of year, I can’t wait to buy a new bikini and head off to the beach. Whether that is in England or whether it involves travelling to a sun spot in Europe, I do enjoy relaxing on […]

Spain seems to be one of the tourist hotspots that will open its doors to visitors from the UK first following the Coronavirus situation.

Golf courses are starting to open again in some parts of the UK. That said, it is not quite the same yet as it was before lockdown. However, when I heard that you can play golf and tennis again as part of a social distancing activity, it gave me an idea to write a short […]

Italy has been hit badly by Coronavirus and it is one of the places that I am really missing being able to travel to. There are so many pretty towns and cities as well as some gorgeous countryside. I am hoping that things will get back to normal at some point so that I can […]

As you will know if you read the Patricia Bech Travel Notes, I love France and it is one of the places that I want to visit again as soon as we can get back travelling. Coronavirus may have been really disrupting for the travel industry and hampered our dreams of exploring the world, but […]

Amid the Coronavirus crisis, many people have cancelled their holiday plans, aeroplanes are currently grounded around the world and lots of major events have been postponed. I read recently that Germany has taken the step to cancel one of its biggest events. […]
