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…

So, as u may already be aware - i'm a freak about metro maps. 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…

All of us were looking forward to this excursion, for sure! Travelling around, getting to know some more regional surroundings and enjoying a few relaxing hours is one of the nicest and most welcoming thing about studying or working.   Lucky us, the weather cou…

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…

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? …

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…

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 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. &…

Whenever i told my friend i want to go to EU for 2 weeks .. they were delighted but when i told them i'm going there by MYSELF- travelling SOLO. They were looking at me and said: " Are u nuts"?? " Are u crazy!!!??" Honestly those comments  did affect my decision , makes me ponder and it took l…

I will add some pictures about this meetup! The meetup was from 25th till the 27th january 2008. It was my first meetup with Travbuddies and I've had a lot of fun. I stayed at a StayOkay Hostel in Amsterdam (vondelpark) together with Devika and stephan. The second day there were some more people …

The second day was a day just for some sightseeing. Everybody else was gone so Anna-Isabel and I walked through the streets and we were heading to the philosophersweg to get an overview of the castle. The weather was not so good. We had to bring our raincoats and actually had to wear them…

My bf Klaus and me made a road trip to Norway with my camper in June 2009. We've been on the road for 3 weeks and we drove exactly 4,144 km (= 2,590 miles). Since we've been in the south of Norway last year we wanna see Central Norway this time. We've choosen the west area between Oslo and Kristian…
