Well, I made it to Brighton…yesterday! I’m always impressed by European rail systems in regards to how easy it is to get between destinations. While there was nothing stand-out about the train journey from Lewisham to Brighton, it was certainly easy and pretty quick. Jason and I met up in Lewisham and then found our […]

Another great day has (nearly) come to an end. I couldn’t believe my luck this morning when I realized the weather was fabulous (sunny and low-50s) for the second day in a row. Winning! Once again, I had no plans, but the day definitely started off right with me sleeping until 9a. Anyone who knows […]

Well, we’re a week into November, which apparently means my travel season has begun! It never used to be that way, but starting last year, this month has become my month to attend not one, not two, but THREE Doctor Who events! Not that I’m complaining, mind you. 🙂 I’m actually currently en route to […]

It’s amazing how quickly reality reasserts itself after a trip, isn’t it? We got back from our awesome trip two weeks ago yesterday and now it’s already almost October. Madness! We quickly settled back into our normal routines of work and friends and of course came back with some great memories and a desire to […]

Before I talk about Zurich, it’s worth pointing out that this is my 100th blog post. Woohoo! Although I’ve been traveling internationally for the last dozen years or so, I only started this blog before my big Europe trip last year. It’s kind of crazy to think that I’ve found that much to write about […]

Well actually, we’re already in Zurich. 🙂 We made it here earlier today – hurrah! After having to get up early for yesterday’s day trip though, it was nice to sleep in today, since our train didn’t leave Munich until about 1230p. We were once again on a DB Bahn train and it went as […]

What a day! Although our actual sightseeing today was confined to a relatively small number of things, we saw a lot, took some awesome pictures, and had a good, but long, day. So what did we do? We visited Linderhof Palace and Neuschwanstein Castle via a day trip we booked through Viator. I’ve used Viator […]

Another day of a LOT of walking (over nine miles, according to my Fitbit), but it was well worth it! We saw everything we wanted to (minus Nymphenburg Palace, which proved to be far enough away from everything else we saw today that we were just too tired to visit it at the end of […]

Yes, that’s right – we’re back in Germany! After a great few days in Prague, we moved on to Munich today. We had a wonderful time in Prague, but we were excited to come to Munich to experience this great city. We traveled via bus on DB Bahn (the German national rail company) and, although […]
