My co-worker and I went to Stuttgart, Germany for some training. These are the photo's

An 8 Country Mammoth Drive with The German.

I love traveling, it is a blessing that I am able to do that in the navy. I would never been able to do it on my own.

The train to Munich should leave at 10.30. To have enough time for packing and preparing for this trip in order to not forget anything in hurry, I have taken my holiday since Thursday. Nevertheless I did everything last minute - as I always do^^. Thus I would have missed my train if it hadn't been delayed.

Yess, we are on the way. Going to Italy! But, before getting there and putting up the tent, we will buy time to do the trip in two stages. Rising this morning at 8, accomplished with soft rain, we took the highway to Schwarzwald. Just before the border with Suisse, we left the highway in search of a zimmer-frei. Maybe because of the season, or we had just bad luck, we could not any that easy. Instead of that, we found a hotel in Kandern, what had one room for rent for 90 euro.... No way! "Oh,…

Chillen in Dusseldorf wit my folks

It also has a number of small museums very close to Old Town, which detail Heidelberg's rich history. The Main Street and University areas provide plenty of shops/stores and English is widely used for those who don't speak German. Heidelberg is a modern city, yet somehow has managed to maintain an old town feel. I guess I can sum things up by saying I would very much like to live there one day. I've dreamed of relocating to Europe for years and Heidelberg would definitely be my home.

As with every Sunday morning, I woke up with a killing hangover (from the fake Depeche mode concert!). I decided to get out of bed around noon, but soon realized that theres no point since the Germans dont believe on opening their shops on sundays. So instead I lazed around in bed till 4pm watching Grey's Anatomy on my laptop with my brand new internet connection I got on Wednesday. Young (a korean german guy) calls me asking for directions to a laundromat. He called me back 10 minutes …
