I’m such a Berlin fan. The first time I went was when I was in Year 12, so about 4 /5 years ago now, and I still believe that my visit played a big part in my choosing German over French as my degree subject. Berlin’s a city steeped in history – when you [...]

It’s a Feckin’ Fairytale

BRUGES.
Oh my. What to say? Just a little bit epic. First things first : Bruges is not really a dump, it really is a feckin’ fairytale. I couldn’t quite believe how pretty Bruges was; cobbled streets, cute chocolate shops and a picturesque square… Colin Farrell, you lied to me!
Ciaran chose to go to [...]
GRIM
January 31st, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I’m feeling rather grim today due to Bierbike Koeln 2010 (also known as Bierbike Round 2) – it was lots of fun, but we didn’t get an awful lot of sleep.
Anyway last time round we never really got a decent picture of us on the Bierbike, so (courtesy of Beefy’s camera because mine was [...]

I officially hate travelling
January 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Uncategorized
So after a lovely Christmas at home, I’ve been struck with the same problem as when I tried to get home from Germany – delays, cancellations and snow, everywhere!!
We were meant to have flown at quarter to seven last night – but as the time ticked closer to our departure and they still hadn’t [...]

An unhappy bunny

(at least there’s a cute bunny picture)
So really, I should be posting this from the comfort of my home, cuppa in one hand, Cadbury’s in the other…
But nope, afraid not. London Gatwick cancelled a hell of a lot of flights today, mine being one of them. Cue frenzied passengers attempting to find their luggage, [...]
Frankfurt!

Long time, no travel update!
So a few weeks ago we were in Frankfurt for the weekend. Found a brilliantly cheap way to get there by using the “Quer-durchs-Land” ticket that you can get from Deutsche Bahn. It basically means you can travel through all of Germany for about 50 euros for 5 people, but only [...]
Heidelberg!

What do you do when you see these steps going up to the Heidelberg Schloss?
Run up them of course!
WIN!
I think the view should say more than I could about Heidelberg – it’s a total fairytale.
Loved seeing a bit of East German Ampelmann!

Mannheim
October 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I made a little trip to Mannheim as it’s one of Swansea’s partner universities – meaning that there are a few Erasmus students from my year there, so visits were required! I organised it a bit off the cuff really, because I knew I wouldn’t do anything at all if I didn’t organise something! Decided [...]
School Holidays Rule!
October 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments · Germany
Well I can’t sleep, so I thought this would be a good time to finally update on a bit of what I’ve been up to the past few weeks.
These past two weeks have been the autumn school holidays, so two weeks off! I think one of the bets bits about school were the breaks. [...]
