MY TOP 10 EUROPEAN CITIES

Updated May 2020 It took me a long time to compile this list simply because I kept disagreeing with myself. I planned a top ten then contemplated making it longer, to fit in the other places that definitely do warrant a mention but sadly don’t quite make it (in my eyes). Of course, there’s plenty … Continue reading MY TOP 10 EUROPEAN CITIES

TRAPPED IN A SCIENCE FICTION MUSEUM | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

With a flight booked for mid-afternoon, we were well aware of making the most of our final day in sunny Berlin before we had to return to London; we got up, got dressed, took some selfies and made our way onto the U-Bahn in record time.  Topography of Terror  Our first stop, was the 'Topography Of … Continue reading TRAPPED IN A SCIENCE FICTION MUSEUM | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

NO SITTING DOWN | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

After our accidental 12 hour sleep, we awoke for our first full day in Berlin. We were pretty damn hungry seeing as we'd missed dinner the night before, so got up, got showered and dressed, then headed out onto the streets of Mitte, where we were staying. We'd noticed a health food cafe just down … Continue reading NO SITTING DOWN | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

Day 1 of our trip to Berlin.   After roughly 3 hours sleep, Naomi and I jumped (/slithered slightly unwillingly) out of bed and into plane appropriate clothing, before zipping up our suitcases, calling an Uber and arriving at Victoria station in London ready for a train down to Gatwick Airport in order to catch … Continue reading WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

BUT, WE’VE JUST GOT HERE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

I mentioned in last Sunday's post that Naomi and I would be in Berlin this weekend. I wasn't lying. What I didn't imagine, was just how busy my working week would be, meaning that I would have zero time to do proper research or write any posts in the build up. Or that I would … Continue reading BUT, WE’VE JUST GOT HERE? | BERLIN | WEEKEND WANDERING

MUNICH | DAY 4 | VLOG

Happy Monday! Or should I say, Glucklich Montag! In today's video, Hamilton gets electrocuted twice by the same (quite surprising) object, we see the world's first computer, and we *queue tears* depart from gorgeous Munich. Find it here: https://youtu.be/JwIP9QAevbk It's the last in our series of vlogs in which we mooch around Munich, but worry not, we … Continue reading MUNICH | DAY 4 | VLOG

DAY 2 | MUNICH | VLOG

Happy Monday! Today I present to you the next instalment in our videos from Munich, where on the second of our forays into the world of Vlogging, we visit some of Munich's finest museums, and along the way, Hamilton finds out who his hand twin is and I find my fantasy car. Pretty standard day, really. … Continue reading DAY 2 | MUNICH | VLOG

A WEEKEND IN MUNICH

Over the past month we've been posting about our Christmas Trip to Munich; something we highly recommend everyone experiences! We've written in detail on our experiences whilst we were there already, but I thought it might be helpful to give you a mini overview of everything else - where we stayed, how we got about, … Continue reading A WEEKEND IN MUNICH

MUNICH RESIDENZ AND THE ENGLISCHER GARTEN | CHRISTMAS IN MUNICH

After our unfortunate attempt to visit Nymphemburg Palace (read about it here), we were very excited about seeing the Munich Residenz, which was previously a Royal Palace. This time, it was open and we actually made it inside, which was a good start. Ok, there's potential we walked around the building a couple of times … Continue reading MUNICH RESIDENZ AND THE ENGLISCHER GARTEN | CHRISTMAS IN MUNICH

THE ART DISTRICT | MUNICH

I still can’t believe quite how much we managed to fit into our short time in Munich, which was in early December 2015; visiting (closed) palaces, the science and technology museum, Christmas markets, beer halls and more. Amazingly, including this one, there are two posts to go just on the subject of what we did! … Continue reading THE ART DISTRICT | MUNICH
