Day 37: DOMunder
11. Januar 2024 in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C
It was a tour to learn about the history. It started in a part of the fortress of the Romans with an explanation of the history of old Utrecht, then we went down to the Domplein (descend 4 metres down the cathedral square). It helped us understand how the UNESCO Roman Frontiers are developed from the Netherlands to Germany. The Roman settlement was built every 9km, thats it drew a line as the Roman Frontiers.Weiterlesen

Local-recommended attraction in Utrecht! Though it is just a library, but it worths a visit. The lobby itself is so unique.

12. Januar 2024 in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C
A hidden gem in Rotterdam! UNESCO World Heritage, Van Nelle Factory, is absolutely underrated. It was built between 1925-1931 as a factory producing tobacco, tea and coffee. Since the location is closed to the canal, it facilitated the transport very easily. After the factory ceased production, it became a UNESCO world heritage for its unique design and construction. Now, it is a huge building with different office spaces. Everyone is welcome to come and check it out, you can walk around freely inside the factory.Weiterlesen

A short pass through of this place. It’s a small area but quiet enough for a short stop over. If i was a bit more energetic (and healthier) today , i would have spent more time here. Will definitely add to my list for a deeper visit when i come back next time.Weiterlesen

We arrived in Frankfurt early in the morning. While waiting for checking in to our hotel, we toured around the city a bit. St. Paul Church Frankfurt is a former Protestant church, used as a national assembly hall. The Frankfurt Parliament convened here back to 1848. It is interesting to see an political assembly hall but with church elements remained.Weiterlesen

The Goethe House is a writer’s house museum. It is the birthplace and childhood home of German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. We didn’t enter the museum this time as Cammy was fighting a cold and still not very energetic enough to tour around. But we had been here, just the outside to take a look.Weiterlesen

Luckily, a nice gentleman had helped us out (very thankful!) anyway, we were detoured to Munchen. With any luck, we will be arriving at 2pm in Augsburg Hbf and could do some touring during day light 🤞🏻Weiterlesen

Day 42: Tour around Augsburg
16. Januar 2024 in Deutschland ⋅ ☁️ -1 °C
Augsburg is famous for its water system, so famous that it has become a UNESCO World Heritage. Its technology of pumping water to the water towers to provide drinkable water to the city is quite impressive. With abundant water supply, Augsburg itself is very self-sufficient.

There is a UNESCO information center in the city centre, which definitely worth a visit. It explained how and why the water system in Augsburg has been one of the heritages.

Augsburg doesn’t have the commercial vibes. There were not many tourists there when we visited. The architecture is similar to Italy, so we had a feeling of visiting Venice but without the tourists. One good thing to visit Augsburg, you can get free water easily, just bring your own bottle.Weiterlesen

After a 9-hour train ride, we were finally here! The OBB night jet train ride was not a comfortable one. If it was only 2 of us in a car compartment, it was just fine as we could lay down with 3 seats. But unfortunately, our compartment was with 2 other people, it made it difficult to sleep well. But anyhow, a nice experience though and the most important thing is, we are so close to Venice now.Weiterlesen

Venice! Still a lovely place to visit even in the Winter. One merit of traveling here in the Winter, way less people! We walked away from the St. Marco plaza, we pretty much had a lot of place to ourselves. It was just our first visit today, we will go back in the following days to visit the Islands.Weiterlesen

Our first stop was Basilica of St. Mary of Mount Berico, a stunning place for a panoramic view of Vicenza. The walk to the Basilica is all uphill, but the view was worth the walk. We were glad that we had a chance to enter the church to take a look, we didn’t take any pictures as there was a service going on. But the inside of the church was so unique. We absolutely loved the quietness of this place.Weiterlesen

21. Januar 2024 in Italien ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C
It was designed by Andrea Palladio for Bishop Paulo Almerico in the late 16th century.

Both the architect and the client died before the villa was complete. Architect Vincenzo Scamozzi completed the structure for the Capra family. The villa is currently owned by the Valmarana family.

Said to have inspired the portico design of the White House and Jefferson’s Monticello, La Rotonda is the most famous of Palladio’s villas. The villa features four identical porticoes, one on each of its four sides. Unfortunately, it was closed when we arrived. We heard that the opening time was very limited. So, make sure to check the schedule before you come!Weiterlesen

Burano, 40 mins water bus ride from Santa Lucia Railway station. It’s a place full of colourful houses and is famous for laces.
It’s so quiet to walk around, a very peaceful place. If you want to get away from the crowded Venice, the islands in Venice are the best options.Weiterlesen
