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!!

So really, I should be posting this from the comfort of my home, cuppa in one hand, Cadbury’s in the other…

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. [...]
