Visit to the Cathedral, walking around and seeing the nice shops, museums, travelled on the awesome underground. Very nice A & 0 Hostel. Sadly didn't get to hear the famous bell 'Gloriosa' of the Frankfurt Cathedral, instead hearing some of her smaller sisters at the Midday Angeles. The Frankfurt Transport system is very good!Read more

Stuttgart! Stayed in Sachsenheim with some wonderful friends and had a wonderful time in the surrounding area and the city for 4 days. It is really lovely (partly because there weren't many tourists), but mostly because of the people and it's wonderful charm.Read more

Munich
July 5, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Arrived in the city Munich on an excessively sunny day to meet our Uncle. Munich is renowned for it's amazing Old Inner city which was revived after the monstrosities of WW2, which by the way is exhilarating. Is also known for having one of the best public transport systems in the world. We had a stroll over to the Marienplatz and climbed the gothic tower of St Peter's Church, taking a look at the 7 bells on the way up. The next couple of days we mostly wandered around the city taking in it's beauty and having delicious Bavarian-Style food.Read more

Had a night in a new place called Salzburg. It is famous for being the birthplace of Mozart, also for it's wonderful baroque and gothic architecture, it's delicious food and culture, plus the overall charm. But it was extremely hot! Our sweaty selves wandered around the Hills of Salzburg, the beautiful Domplatz and had dinner at a hidden Pub that not even the tourists knew about but was full to the brim with people drinking and laughing. It was where the 'locals' went...Read more

Stayed here for a month with our Grandparents in a little Village called Sokorópátka, a half hour drive from the city Györ. Quite country life was enjoyed here with delicious meals, beautiful weather, and day trips out to neighbouring cities and train rides, but also relaxation, games, riding bikes and walking around. Took a regional train out to Budapest for a day which was really awesome. The people are really lovely ;)Read more

Berlin
August 5, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Berlin is crazy! From the dirty, graffitied streets of Kreuzberg to the Wonderful central city with an ever lasting impression! We stayed in a little "apartment" in Kreuzberg District, but our everyday destination was always the central city. We enjoyed looking at the wall and overpriced Souvenirs, the Cathedral, a Carillon Concert in the Tiergarten, Brandenburg Gate, Currywurst, and the Famous Ampelmann shop. Ended it all with an awesome boat tour down the canals.Read more

Copenhagen is an amazing, bike mania city! We enjoyed a stay with some friends we hadn't seen since 2010, had a bike tour through the wonderful narrow streets and over the canals, biked some more, and went on a boat on the harbour. Tivoli theme park was also amazing!Read more

Arrived in Hamburg after a very nice train trip on an Intercity of the Danish Railways. Was very sunny at first, but not for long Dun Dun Dun. Next day it was showering but yet not cold. That did not deter us from visiting the exhilarating Michaeliskirche, the Miniatur Wunderland, and going on (you guessed it) another boat tour on the harbour, plus the best attraction in the city, the Spoopy Hamburg Dungeon! Thanks to the lovely people we stayed with in Poppenbüttel.Read more

We came back to Stuttgart for round two. This time round we visited the wonderful old city, went up the TV Tower, relaxed in the town square and visited a model train shop. The Stiftskirche was really lovely. Sachsenheim was also very good with trips to the local pool and excellent times exploring the neighbouring villages of Bietigheim and Bissingen.Read more

This time round brought even more cool stuff! We had a bike tour of Munich with a nice guy called Jack from Yorkshire. We had a nice dinner at the renowned Biergarten and saw many sights we'd never seen before. The Marienplatz is my favourite square with also my iconic favourite church, the Old Peter. The BMW museum was also very cool!Read more

Venice
August 27, 2017 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Now we are into new territory... Italy! Venice was highly intriguing with it's wonderful canals, the cool churches and buildings, and the extremely overpriced scam of a Gondola ride. The Biennale Art Exhibition was highly interesting, and so was the beach and Burano with it's wonderful pizza, leaning tower and Artwork. The Campanile offered an outstanding view of the city.Read more

Back to Hungary with an awesome stopover in Vienna on the way. This time round we had another cool trip to Budapest, a new place called Esztergom, and a place called Sopron. These places all had amazing buildings, sights, and people. Sometimes went to church on Sundays and enjoyed Village life in Sokorópátka with hikes in the dangerous woods, a Bell Tower Tour in Györ, another trip to Vienna and more fun around the region.Read more

In Munich yet again - but sadly the weather wasn't so into it this time, with cloud covering the sky of Munich for kilometres. But we would not be stopped. We had another trip to Marienplatz, and just generally looked around Munich again before we would have to leave it for a long time.Read more

Back in Stuttgart for the third time to be with our friends one last time. This time we wandered around the Nature Park Tripsdrill near Heilbronn, where we fed deer and looked at lots of cool animals.
