My fourth visit to Norway was also my shortest - only 45 hours in total! I must be mad! Well, yeah, I am. But my spring visit to Oslo wasn't a holiday, no, I was here because my mate Jan Henrik was finally marrying his lovely Annelie. Jan Henrik is Norwegian, Annelie is Danish and they met at a fes…

Our last stage guided us from Alsfeld to Erfurt and back home.   After we hadn’t managed to get this so-called fantastic ice-cream in Italy we decided to go to our favourite ice café in Erfurt. Ice café Venezia is one of the best ice-cream selling places I´ve ever been. Fresh ic…

How TravBuddy's look like The Day After! We spend the entire evening in restaurant Zollhof and after that we kept the Weissen Bär Bar open till 5 in the morning. Checkout time at the Backpackers Hostel on Sunday was 11 o'clock sharp!  Don't forget to strip off your bedlinen a…

Early in the morning my grandparents and I started to Sassnitz, where we had planned to hop on the ferry to Trelleborg at 8.15am.   Great! Our summer holiday started off with fabulous weather and heaps of anticipation! My grandparents had been to Scandinavia a few times before and had alre…

Basildon - although for some reason it comes up on the map as near Reading, is in South Essex.  And the only thing that could possible qualify as a tourist attraction?  Bas Vegas. Bas Vegas is officially the Festival Leisure Park, and consists of the following amenities: 1X cinema 1X b…

That's why i will show u some examples of my 'stuff' ;) There are hundrets of in my collection - i collect the official maps (which are the most worth) but also post cards with maps and mugs or other stuff with metro maps on. If u have s…

I woke up at a godawful early hour... 9 AM... I looked outside and the view was just absolutely stunning. Arnaud's appartment overlooks the IJ and the waters looked eerily tranquil in the early morning fog. The photo I took doesn't do it much justice, really. I can't have slept more than three hour…

Spent the night at Gatwick airport and awakened to a huge mob at the check-in terminal, literally thousands of people waiting in line. Apparently a huge plot was just uncovered to blow up planes from London to the USA on the very morning I am taking a flight from London to the U…

Terminal 5 at London Heathrow airport was the newest terminal which went into service this year. There were some horror stories about big luggage fiascos, where so much luggage were piled up they had to bulk ship them to Milan Itlay to sort them! And what's the chance of getting your luggage back? …

I wak up around 4 am to get ready to take the train to 'charleroi.' I went to airport around 6 am, to pick up Javier. We had been talking for over 6 mnts and was so nervos to see him, but not so nervos as I expectd. I talkd with 'sameer', becaus he has been followng this for months. He is…

I'm starting my city trail, leaving behind my footprints and capturing beautiful scenery and sharing my journey with everyone.

I woke up what's for me, way too early. Namely at the crack of dawn...  But my cat wanted to go out for a bit, and as I let her out, I noticed how beautiful the sky was. It was totally clear, and as the sun was getting ready to rise it made a gorgeous orange color along the hillside in the dis…

At the end of last summer (2007), I bought a digital camera. Since then, I published an autumn blog and a winter blog. Fortunately, time keeps moving forward and winter changes into spring. In fact, the meteorological spring started March 1. Therefore, this blog is a celebration to spring. &…
