Back around August time, I was looking for somewhere to go in December. Preferably somewhere that had Christmas markets (I know, I hate people so why do this to myself). I looked on Ryanair and couldn’t really find anywhere that stuck out to me and certainly nothing that was a price I wanted to pay. […]
One of the reasons I wanted to visit Nuremberg is because I have a keen interest in World War 2. Nuremberg was the place chosen for the trials after the war. Nuremberg was also chosen as a place to host pre-war rallies. I was here in November 2022 but it was only to go from […]
Back in February time, I had booked a return flight to Hamburg but, for one reason or another, I wasn’t able to go. About a month or so ago Ryanair were having a sale and Hamburg was on sale so I decided to book it for June. I decided I wasn’t going to tell anyone […]
When I had to leave Ljubljana for Munich it wasn’t much of an early start (for which I was thankful), but it meant I didn’t really have anything to do. I didn’t want to leave my luggage at the hostel and then have to go back for it. I also didn’t want to just sit […]
Since I have a big trip coming up in a few days I decided just to map it out and show you the places I am going and how I am getting there. I am actually dreading how I am going to write about this trip since it is 12 days long and I am […]
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.
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.
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 […]
I have had a yearning to get back to travelling ever since the government relaxed the restrictions and put countries onto red/amber/green lists. I didn’t care that I had to test or quarantine when I got back – I just wanted to be on a train (or in a car) to the airport, stressing about […]
When I read that countries were starting to open borders again (especially to UK tourists), I was desperate to get away. I was sick of being stuck in Peterborough. I had gotten back to Peterborough on March 6th and hadn’t been on a flight or even anywhere close to an airport during that time. Frankfurt […]
