    Singapore

    19. syyskuuta 2015, Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Transiting through Singapore airport, 17 hr layover from 7am to 11pm. I've been in Changi airport a fair bit, got lost here when I was 12, lost my passport here at 18. There's going to be a VIP only terminal soon apparently making it four terminals in all.Lue lisää

    Berlin Day 1

    20. syyskuuta 2015, Saksa ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    And so it begins, arrived, unpacked then went on a walking tour of The Brandenburg gate, the Memorial to the Dead jews of Europe (the name's tragically specific due to the debate around whether the term holocaust is exclusive to Jews or not ), Checkpoint Charlie and the various super impressive squares.Lue lisää

    Berlin Day 2

    21. syyskuuta 2015, Saksa ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Visited the Sachenhaussen Concentration Camp near the outskirts of Berlin, this was basically the nerve centre of the camp system which prototyped the practices carried out in all the other death/concentration camps , we were walked though the life of an inmate, the ..experimental execution areas, prison and one of the communal messes and welll.....it was a carnival of horror stories really, we ate the sandwiches we brought for the day at the mess and it was a little awkward...Lue lisää

    Took the Red Berlin walking tour which took us along parts of the Berlin wall and the memorials for those who died trying to get over the wall, then went to the museum next to the memorial for the dead jews of Europe , descriptions and records of the families wiped out in the Holocaust and survivor accounts in very starkly lit roomsLue lisää

    Berlin Day 4

    23. syyskuuta 2015, Saksa ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    So after getting all the depressing Cold War and Nazi era stuff out of the way , we went in a walking tour of New Berlin with all the hipster graffiti and African beach bars

    We finished the day with visiting the Soviet War Memorial and getting dinner at a typical Berlin restaurant called Max and Moritz.Lue lisää

    Amsterdam

    29. syyskuuta 2015, Alankomaat ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Managed to squeeze in the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum (with guides and audio guide) in one day.
    I focused on the part of the Rijksmuseum that covered the golden age of Dutch supremacy and the paintings of Rembrandts period, analysis of the paintings by our guide are quite thorough especially of "Night Watch"
    The Van Gogh museum and its audio+tablet guide were quite good , a limited exhibition sshowcasing the similar styles of Van Gogh and Edvard Munch (The Scream) was also on with the centerpiece being "Sunflowers"    Lue lisää

    Paris Day 1

    30. syyskuuta 2015, Ranska ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    After a quick look at the free bits of the Amsterdam Science Museum while waiting for the train, we headed off from Amsterdam to Paris , arrived at the airbnb pla e and found it a little meh but serviceable since the host was cool. Our place is in a fairly upmarket part of Paris it seems with a really large Commercial district nearby with Microsoft Paris having this huge winged building.
    Hunted around for cheap dinner place then settled for a Japanese Yakitori place since it turns out everything servicing an area like this is expensive xD    Lue lisää

    Paris Day Two

    1. lokakuuta 2015, Ranska ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    Spent the day in the Montmartre district of Paris which used to be it's own little town around a hill outside Paris's walls where the stuffy Parisians could go to to let their hair down , this is where the Moulin Rouge is, where Van Gogh and Picasso spent a bit of their lives and where the Church of Sacre Crouer is with a painter's square near by.

    We started with a great free (with tips) tour of the area with a local Monmartre-an (who prefer not to be cslled Parisian) who took us through all the local side streets and dodged all the crowds while pointing out all the intetesting parts of the area which is how I got a baguette from the bakery that won the seats for best baguette in 2015 which means they win the right to providr for the French President breakfast for a year.

    Oh and we ate at a Tibetan restaurant for dinner once I verified its street cred :p We also had coffee at CB cafe which as it turns out stood for "cooka burra" cafe and was Australiasian themed so we're kinda mixing it up a little foodwise    Lue lisää

    Paris Day Three

    2. lokakuuta 2015, Ranska ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

    The Palace of Versailles! We started with a guided tour of the Kings private apartments that are not open to the public and are even kept shut out from the sunlight, when people aren't in the rooms , to prevent fading. Each desk is worth well over a million euro as was the China. We also got to sit in the grand Versailles opera house.
    We then used Rick Steves audio guide aa we walked through the public chambers and the hall of mirrors.
    We ended by going over the grounds of the palaces which is also sprinkled with Marie Antoinettes Mini palaces    Lue lisää

    Paris Day 4

    3. lokakuuta 2015, Ranska ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    The Louvre
    We got into the Louvre via the shopping mall/ metro entrance that skips all the crowds and then used Rick Steves audio guide to do a greatest hits tour and then went to the castle ruins underneath the museum and the Egyptian section. Oh and since the Louvre was the Royal palace before Versailles there's opulent ceiling art and gilded crenellations all over.

    We then walked all the way from the Louvre through the Concorde square , down the Chams Elysee and to the Arc du Triumph    Lue lisää

    Paris Day Five

    4. lokakuuta 2015, Ranska ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Notre Dame
    We went and took a walking tour of Notre Dame and the surrounding area, aside from the Cathedral itself we got to see a little neighborhood that used tombstones for staira, a police station built where a group of 15th century murderers preyed on solo vistors and disposed of the bodies Sweeney Todd style. We also tried out Frances best ice cream at Berthillons. There was also the key bridge and the area where Heloise and Abellard lived whose real life doomed romance are a key part of French literature.
    Oh and a gamer bar and the outside of the Pantheon, we tried to get to the Paris Catacombs but it turned out that while it closes at 8 it only admits people before 7    Lue lisää

    We slept in a bit and headed to the Eiffel Tower after I needed to get some new shoes, our much with the weather ran out so it was quite rainy and cloudy but a decent capstone to the Paris section of the tour. We also had dinner at this cool French Restaurant that had great service and prices.Lue lisää

    Thalwil

    8. lokakuuta 2015, Sveitsi ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We took the train from Paris and then headed to Switzerland ,
    We stopped at Basel and Zurich but there was too much rain to walk around much or see the scenery.
    We then headed to Thalwil to stay over at Paul and Denise's place ( who have a 3 week old baby boy Max :) ) where we all cooked an authentic swiss dish which involved pasta , bacon, gruyere cheese and Apple sauce.Lue lisää

    Munich Day Two

    10. lokakuuta 2015, Saksa ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We spent the day around the area next to Neuschwanstein castle in the Bavarian country side, its one of the incredibly expensive glamout castles commissioned by the Bavarian King Ludwig II which was 75% complete before his suspicious death when the government coffers got nearly empty, it inspired Disney studios for Sleeping Beauty and probably the Disney logo.Lue lisää

    Munich Day 3

    10. lokakuuta 2015, Saksa ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    Took a walking tour of the city and its plazas , which covered the history of the Bavarian kings, where the Nazis began their political movements, and the restored buildings after the city was 80% destroyed post Allied bombings. On the more cheerful now we also learnt about how intrinsic beer is to the city and we had lunch on a beer hall.Lue lisää

    Venice

    12. lokakuuta 2015, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Took the train from Munich to Venice , passing though Verona , got to see the country side change from little hamlets near the Alps to countryside vineyards. We arrived in the evening and took a Vaporetto ride up the Grand Canal while listening to Rick Steves audio guide , then we went around St. Marks square while also taking in an audio tour. Had dinner in an Italian tapas restaurant and roamed the practically empty but safe streets at night.Lue lisää
