Late night curry after clubbing

Okay. KL. What to do but eat? :) (oh or watch Rish eat when it gets too much for me!)

(Fittingly publishing this on Rish’s birthday! Happy Birthday dear! xx)

Australia v Germany, Berlin Fan Fest
Schwiney! The reason Germany beat Australia 4-0 in the World Cup. A pig in a German lei

I was very happy to arrive in Berlin on June 12. Two reasons – one, I got to be with Rish after a week apart, and two it’s freaking BERLIN. How cool is that???

Hamburg
Looking out to sea

Okay, I’ll come out and say it now: I didn’t eat any Hamburgers in Hamburg. Feel free to leave now, if that’s what you were here for (or go look at the one I ate in Cologne the day before I went to Hamburg).

I’m going to just straight to my accommodation at Hotel Bremer Hof, a short walk from the Haptbahnhof, in the dodgy direction ;) My single room was € 40.00 per night for a single room with bathroom. No breakfast, but there was free wi-fi! :)

Orange! So very Orange!

Cologne/Köln

After a train trip along the Rhine, I arrived in a drizzly Cologne, for the first time having to find my own way to the hotel without Rish’s help :) Fortunately, Cologne is extremely well signposted for tourists, and I knew I had to get to Neumarkt and Rudolfplatz to find Hotel Flandrischer Hof, which I’d booked for 105 Euro for 3 nights through bahn.de

Frankfurt

It seems I was in Frankfurt on June 5… I’m getting there, I swear!! Frankfurt is manageable… I was only there 24hours!

Arrived in Frankfurt from Vienna on a morning flight, trained to the city and checked into a cheap hotel. Rish went for a nap, and I went for a walk…

Giant Euro

The giant Euro is probably my strongest memory of Frankfurt, but let’s see what else comes flooding back as I look at my photos! It IS pretty impressive, though. In a nerdy way…

Prague

Following Vienna, we went to Prague for a few days, based on recommendations of drunken backpackers “You HAVE to go to Prague!!11!!!!111!”, is what they said over beer.

Really awesome mural!

Vienna

July 5, 2010

Ahh Vienna. Rish and I flew there straight from Frankfurt. We’d originally planned to spend time there with friends, but bag snatching and subsequent lack of passport put and end to that :( We got some cheap flights to Vienna with Niki – a discount airline, where the hostesses wore pink hats and grey blazers, [...]

Cool Little Things

June 8, 2010

Gummi bears on my pillow at my hotel in Cologne! Having a good time over here, despite tiredness and a case of food poisoning (?from lunch meats or Chinese in Frankfurt). Kicking along. Walking a lot. Having fun, and taking oodles of photos. (I saw a tub of red yellow and black gummi bears for [...]
