Today we rose early, about 6a.m. for a long travel day. Again, a very good breakfast at the hotel. On the bus at 7:15a.m. and on our way to Germany.  My knee was sore from all the walking yesterday. Our first stop was along the autobaun at a gas station for the U-know-what-break. Very clean an…

On Friday, June 16, we travelled a short distance from Amsterdam, across the border to Cologne (or Köln as it is called here). We arrived quite late at the train station and the place was swarming with people. Cologne is one of the host cities for the World Cup this summer, so this frenzy was to b…

I was quite today when I woke up because we were due to meet the first of many HW’s for the trip, Andre.  Although we’ve met a couple of times before, it’s always been on home soil for me.  Finally I get to meet some friends abroad, and try a new city, Cologne.    …

Myself and a couple of my friends have a thing for Germany. I myself am pretty obsessed with the country, I love it there. John and I decided to get return tickets to Cologne on the high speed ICE trains (I have a thing for fast trains as well). We couldn't go the day we wanted (the day before) bec…

I took a total of 1900 pictures on my thirty-five day trip to Europe and the United Kingdom. These are what I consider to be the best of the best. I hope you like them. Smile if you do.

Being able to live in another country is amazing, but living with friends and hanging out, going to parties, travelling, and having fun is even better. I recently stayed in Germany for a month (way too short), but i had one of the greatest times i've ever had in my entire life. Life is just so laid back there, and school is a breeze; i'm seriously thinking out moving there.

I visited an old friend who was going to college there in Bonn.

I had a lot of fun in this german area i think actually is the best but i cant wait to discover bavarian and other areas also as Berlin in september probably or when i go back to Germany... the most funny for me was that the speed in germany has not limit! lol my friends were always driving not lower than 180 LOL sometimes 250 klm/h hahahahah hope everybody enjoy my pics!
