Easy to catch the metro into the city from the train station 🙂 It's a bit of a walk from the tracks to the Metro but it's all connected. You do need to get a card and then load money/tickets onto it. TIP: There is an option to get a pack of 10 tickets and … Continue reading Moseying over to chill…in Madrid

Zipping around to Zurich
Holy cow you can tell this is a rich place. Menus outside show even a simple Chinese meal can be easily 20€ , twice that of France and Germany. Clean everywhere, no construction - everything is pretty nice already! , Ballroom dress shop, so many hipster fancy shops. Very manicured and safe and calm. And … Continue reading Zipping around to Zurich
Moseying over to Montpellier
Day 1: Went by train from Toulouse to Montpellier and it was seamless 🙂 Got to Carnon beach via the T3 tram line and the navette (free shuttle) - Very easy and good connections. It is set up very similarly to Toulouse so that made it simple to understand. Cheap pricing too: 1,60€ each way. … Continue reading Moseying over to Montpellier
Bon week: Lebanese food, gym, marché, burrata :)
Mmm Restaurant Chez Nous les Libanais was quite good! Great value as it was only 10€ for fries, rice, salad and choice of meat. I tried the classic Chicken shawarma. Yum! My bike's right brake didn't work so I went to Decathlon and they were so nice to just have a quick look and popped … Continue reading Bon week: Lebanese food, gym, marché, burrata 🙂
Delicious start to the week, miam miam :d
Work has been coming along. I feel I'm getting a bit of traction to learn a bit faster and understand the flow a bit more. My French still needs work. I feel like I am catching on slowly but it's still fun to chat with everyone and to learn as I go. I also went … Continue reading Delicious start to the week, miam miam :d
Day trip to: Florence!
Woke up at 7am and feeling well rested more or less! Yay to the fella not smoking. I think he was pretty worried as I was coughing still a bit last night and he asked about me haha. Skipped outta the house at about 0810. Brisk, nice day so I wore shorts. People were staring … Continue reading Day trip to: Florence!
Bologna: Day 1 of 2
Woke up rather well rested though I was coughing due or second hand smoke. 😷 Set off at about 9:30am. Watch out for the uneven paths: some sloping, random gradients, steps, broken concrete...The whole gambit. Popped into a bookstore, Libraccio, as I was thinking of another book to get. Great range of English books 🙂 … Continue reading Bologna: Day 1 of 2
Oktoberfest 2019, Munich & Augsburg
Got up early in Vienna and got to the Eurolines/Nomago bus, no probs. It sure was cold at 0745 and the bus was late 30 mins to arrive... and 20 mins late after the break too! I was getting a bit antsy to ensure the buffer of 1.5 hours I gave myself to get from … Continue reading Oktoberfest 2019, Munich & Augsburg
Day trip to Bratislava
Woke up early and go out on my way again to go to Bratislava! I swear I saw a bus for 8am but turns out it's 0650 or 0850 so I end up waiting for an hour as I'm super early at 745am at the stop. Finally, I'm on the 850am RegioJet bus. They have … Continue reading Day trip to Bratislava
Venturing about Vienna
Breakfast with Birgit 😃 was great! We haven't seen each other for 7 years pretty much since we both left Vancouver December 2012. We had a great catch up and she treated me to breakfast which was very generous 🙂 The portions were MASSIVE at the café & restaurant Freiraum. Walked around went to a … Continue reading Venturing about Vienna
