After a longggg yummy breakfast for 2 hours, it was 10am and I ambled around the city and headed towards south as my airbnb wasn't ready til 12pm. I walked past cool buildings, nice views and lots of shops for tourists and some artisan shops too. I went into the Royal Palace into the chapel … Continue reading Super long first day in Stockholm…Was great!

First overnighter on the train…from Copenhagen to Stockholm
Train times and corresponding tracks were posted only ~30-40 mins in advance at Copenhagen which made me rather nervous as I was used to the train times in France being displayed hours in advance, even up to 4 hours! So, managing my anxiety by telling myself 1) I can’t control that and 2) going to … Continue reading First overnighter on the train…from Copenhagen to Stockholm
More delicious food in Copenhagen: Cool food courts and SUSHI! :d
For lunch, my friend S recommended I go to the Bolton's food court, a fun space set up hawker hall style, with lots of variety, indoor and outdoor seating and right in the city! There is a rooftop too but was closed. Probably cuz it's been very windy. A dog friendly space too! 🙂 What … Continue reading More delicious food in Copenhagen: Cool food courts and SUSHI! :d
Another fun, free day in Copenhagen!
After a chill morning in relaxing and planning my trips for August and September, I rode the bike to Juno bakery. The ride was not too windy which was nice and no rain! It's really THE way to get around in Copenhagen! Apparently the pastry chef there used to work at Noma! Unfortunately, even after … Continue reading Another fun, free day in Copenhagen!
Fun, free day in Copenhagen
It was really fun riding around to get to place in Copenhagen. It's really the best way to get around. You can park your bike anywhere and people & cars are very aware of you. While it didn't rain today, there was tons of headwind! I needed the exercise and it's no cost to travel … Continue reading Fun, free day in Copenhagen
Back to Paris for a bit
Left Rennes on the last Thursday of June. It was already stiffling hot in Rennes and I can't believe Paris was gonna be hotter than that! It was around mid-30C that week. The Ouibus transport was cheap, on time and relatively comfy. It was super hot that day so you can't really do much for … Continue reading Back to Paris for a bit
Busy 27 hours in Rouen
I woke up early and after a simple breakfast of a big rocket salad with cucumber, tomato, avocado and smoked trout, I set out just about 9am to check out where my bus stop was for taking the Flixbus to Rennes. Google maps detected my Flixbus ticket but picked some random spot to indicate as … Continue reading Busy 27 hours in Rouen
Nancy & Metz
It was a bit of a rough start to Nancy as it was a bit of back and forth to get into my airbnb. I ended up leaving my luggage with someone in the building... and then went on to a fabulous lunch!! After that, I went to Place Stanislas and it was very beautiful … Continue reading Nancy & Metz
Strasbourg & Colmar
I arrived on June 6 early in the day around noon and after a yummy lunch (see next post), I wandered around town. Sadly, due to having a big suitcase, I was not allowed into anywhere except restos or cafes dues to their stringent approach to terrorism. So many gorgeous half-timbered buildings. It was like … Continue reading Strasbourg & Colmar
Dijon and Beaune
I first popped over to Beaune for a few hours to check out the famous sites there. I went by train as it was quick, easy and relatively cheap. Well, I thought there were 2 main touristy sites but actually, Hotel-Dieu museum = hospices de Beaunes = same same. Oopsies. Anyhow, it was still a … Continue reading Dijon and Beaune
