The trip to Berlin this year came about because I was telling Duncan that he should travel more in Europe and that he should visit Berlin.
Europe
Milano: finalmente sono venuta a trovarti senza restrizioni!
Back in March of 2020, I went to Milan as part of a wider trip that should have consisted of Georgia and Armenia too. That didn’t quite go according to plan due to a little thing called Covid. You can read about that visit here. Fast forward 30 months (or 2.5 years to you and […]
Meine paar Tage in Dresden (und ein Tag in Leipzig)
As you may have gathered from my previous posts, I have an interest in WWII and I try and go to places that have significance to the war.
I wanted to go to Dresden because of the strategic significance it played in the war. It had a big munitions factory and easy access to the railway. I also read that Dresden was rebuilt after the war and a lot of it is from post-war and not a lot pre-war. I wanted to go and see how true this was.
Konečne som sa dostal do Košíc
I think it was sometime back in 2020 when I saw Ryanair had introduced a new route from Stansted to Kosice in Slovakia. I thought since I had liked Bratislava that I would like Kosice. I decided I was going to book it once travel had opened up again (you know, Covid) and for some […]
Gdańsk – Sequel (ft. Więcej o mieście i zamku w Malborku)
Back in September of 2021 I finally managed to get to Gdansk. It had been several attempts before I was able to get here. You can read about there here. On that first trip, I tried to do as much as possible and I didn’t really spend a lot of time in Gdansk itself as […]
Berlin-Reise mit dem Freund (včetně Prahy a także Szczecin)
I’ll start this post off by saying that I had thought I had already done it. I had a look through and saw that it didn’t exist so I am making up for this now and thank goodness I have pictures that will help me remember what we did 4.5 years ago. I can’t believe […]
Moja urodzinowa wycieczka do Krakowa i Oświęcimia (Prezent od Jasona)
At the start of the year I was feeling very down in the dumps because of Covid (yeah, it’s mentioned again) and my travel plans being all awry and generally just Covid horridness. I had to work on my birthday which I generally try and not do – especially when they are 12 hour shifts. […]
Operacja „Radioaktywny młody człowiek” / Операція «Радіоактивний юнак»
I will start this post by saying that I have been to Warsaw and Kyiv and Chernobyl before. Warsaw was in 2018 and Kyiv/Chernobyl were in 2019. You can read my Warsaw post here. You can read about Kyiv and Chernobyl here. Back in March time, I got a gift from the Young Un of […]
Το πολυαναμενόμενο ταξίδι μου στην Αθήνα
Dear reader, I think you know what’s about to come for the start of the post. You guessed it: Covid stopped me going here in November 2020. Grrr to the damn thing. On Friday 12th November I got my booster Covid jab and I didn’t fare too well after it. I was thinking I shouldn’t […]
Minu viimase hetke otsus Tallinna minna
So… did you follow on from the last post where I said my travel life was a bit crazy? Let me tell you how crazy. I landed at 07:57 today and got the train at 09:27 and got to Peterborough at 10:49. I was back at mine around 11:30 and unpacked and repacked for this […]
