europe Visiting Prague, Czech Republic After the third day in Prague, I suddenly realised I had not taken out the lofty Canon DSLR to take pictures of the amazing city. Most of these are quick snaps taken on the iPhone. Praha is quite a touristic city, and you'll find a Euronet ATM ready
europe Leipzig I saw some nice things on the bike-sharing system "Durstexpress." I prefer the name "DursteXtremeMTB" because I used the 3-speed city bike for over 3 hours, costing about 5€. I travelled over 40km on gravel and small mountains towards Markkleeberg and cycled around the Cospudener See.
europe Dresden Dresden is a pretty remarkable city, architecturally speaking. The city skyline from the bridges across the Elbe has some fantastic buildings to photograph. Another highlight was visiting Saxon-Switzerland National Park, which is close to the Czech Republic's border. It has some incredible sandstone rock formations and a famous
europe Berlin Taking the Deutsche Bahn train from Hamburg was a piece of cake on the Eurail pass. Upon arriving and opting to take the 50-minute walk from the station to the hostel, I was immediately surprised by how interesting punk many people were! You could people-watch in the park for hours.
europe Hamburg After spending an incredible one week with my friend and his girlfriend, who were kind enough to let me stay for a while. Conclusion: I would love to live here. There are plenty of things to do and cycle around to see. The scale and beauty of Stadtpark were breathtaking,
travel Cologne 🇩🇪 I spent three nights in an extremely quiet but friendly hostel in Cologne. I had great nights out with local food and beers. The very friendly locals pointed out all the best places to eat & drink. Saturday nights are pretty big here! Next up: Hamburg
travel Visiting Amsterdam Amsterdam was okay, but I preferred the quieter streets of Rotterdam. It was probably the crowds and crazy heat wave temperatures. I was also in a very lame hostel located 30 minutes away on the metro. I would rather revisit it during a quiet season without all the tourists like
travel Kinderdijk Windmills Warning: This post contains many photos of windmills in this UNESCO World Heritage site. I probably took at least 1000+ windmill photos and videos. They are really beautiful machines, and many operate and still have people living inside.
travel Exploring Rotterdam After a pretty strange cycle of thunderstorms, I went for a walking tour around the city's most popular parts. There is lots of really interesting architecture in this city.
travel Off to Belgium 🇧🇪 A day wandering & cycling in Brussels Tomorrow is Bruges! Hopefully I don't run into many bunches of touristy elephants!
travel Travel to Paris, France 🇫🇷 Taking the Eurostar from London to Paris was pretty easy once I figured out what the fuck was wrong with my seat reservation. Wrong company purchased from! All good. They sorted it out. The train's speed was quite impressive. I was curious and tested this using a speedometer
travel First day in London 🇬🇧 After successfully fighting and (almost winning) against jet lag I activated tourist.exe and did some typical sightseeing around central London, starting in Westminster. I then proceeded to walk along the Southwalk to the pretty epic Tower of London. And my favourite... An 11th-century building with 21st-century robotic lawnmowers keeping
travel Featured Melbourne to London via Doha, Qatar I now have a new personal best for how far I can sit in a plane covered in red wine... Fourteen and a half hours are seated in the king of the skies, a fully laden Qatar Airways Airbus A380. All was well until 40 minutes later when they served
