This was my first trip abroad for a week during December 2006. It was the best trip I've had to date.

Bavaria in the Summer

One of the most fascinating country I've ever been!

This is where Nelson Mandella spent his time in Prison. He wrote a book which he later hide in the wall so that the guards would not find it. It was about his life and in prison

It's mostly photo blog of my trip through Western Europe in 2003. From Poland I started at Oktoberfest in Munich-Germany, followed by Amsterdam-Netherlands, Paris-France, Madrid-Spain, Lisbon and Sintra-Portugal, Barcelona-Spain, Strasbourg-France, Wien-Austria, then back to Poland through Czech Republic. I traveled on a budget by Eurail and stayed at hostels :) It was a great experience :D

Today we went out to Dachau to see the first concentraion camp of WWII.  It was a very sobering experience.  The whole site is intact and acts as a memorial now.  We walked through the processing and torture rooms, the bunk rooms and even the crematorium. After that we went into the…

After this nice warm day and beautifull scenery we got back to the hotel and on the night before we had strolled thru Kitzingen where we saw a couple of nice and promising restaurants.That evening we walked back into town after a quick rest in the hotel. We didn't want to be too late for the champi…

I spent 2 weeks in Germany visiting a friend, but I managed to do some sightseeing. Truth be told, I wasn't that impressed with Germany. It was a nice country and all but I don't see myself going back. After spending 5 weeks in the south of France, Germany seemed so blah. I only really enjoyed the Dachau concentration camp, that was truly an experience.

Germany and Austria

Ansbach Germany and the Hotel Windmuhle (wind mill) (Gasthof Zur Windmuhle Rummelsberger Strasse, Ansbach Phone: +49 (0) 981 15088 ) were very pleasant. I had visited Bavaria in the '80s and was pleased to see that strip malls and the other bad results of population in the US had not blighted this …

We just finished our tour of the Dachau Concentration Camp, which was the original concentration camp or "parent" camp. It was the training ground for the SS, for the SS doctors, for torture, execution, humiliation, and brutality. Upon entereing the gates, individuals who had been successful politi…

The Second World War had the unfortunate consequence of bringing about the destruction of the vast majority of the city of Munich. After the war, then, it was entirely rebuilt in the original style. Thus, today, the city gleams with newness while maintaining a quaint style about it. There remains an outdoor market where a variety of pickles, sausages, cheeses, and chocolates can be purchased and enjoyed.
