Moseying over to chill…in Madrid

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 →

Galloping off to Greece!

Got ready and got to the airport seamlessly. Couldn't change to an earlier flight though i was early. However I was only allowed 1 small clear bag to put my lotions and liquids! So aggravating as I bought stuff in advance and sis and I took the time to put in bottles and other flights … Continue reading Galloping off to Greece! →

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 →

Bologna: Day 2 of 2

What a hike! Started all flat and then I lucked upon seeing this cool rotunda and started walking up to it... all in the correct direction. It was then an incline up through all the porticos. Longest portico in the world! The views up at the Santuario di San Luca were wonderful and were more … Continue reading Bologna: Day 2 of 2 →

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 →

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 →

Bouncing about Berlin

Flight aboard Easyjet was smooth, on time and pleasant enough. I didn't know that they only allowed 1 baggage... so only carry on, not even a backpack or purse! Luckily one attendant was nice enough to let me on through to put my pack for free in the hold (ie: checked baggage area) and then … Continue reading Bouncing about Berlin →

Pottering about in Paris

It's been a lovely few days just chilling and relaxing in Paris. It feels like coming back home to familiarity with the language, metro, culture, food. It's sure impressive how was can crave routine and unique experiences at the same time. I guess this is a "first world problem" so to speak. I feel very … Continue reading Pottering about in Paris →

Lazing around Leipzig

I was up early and so I decided to check in with my parents and we had a good long video chat. I also got a few messages from my host to go to the Natural History museum for free and to go have lunch/dinner but I declined all offers. I want to believe it … Continue reading Lazing around Leipzig →
