I started off my europe trip wanting to make the most of every day and not waste time just for the sake of it. However after having travelled to a few stops now I found myself wishing I was back in bed and not heading for the bus stop, before 8am and in the rain. Still Sweden was calling my name and with just a hint of sun recorded on […]

Final Day in Copenhagen
What do you do on your final day in a place when you find yourself a solo traveller again… you go exploring some more of course.

Discovering Berlin on Foot
Continuing the theme of walking tours and slightly comforted by the fact the rain seemed to have stemmed its tide, I left D at the hostel and headed off with another Aussie for the free walking tour run by the same company I’ve previously explored Paris and Amsterdam with. Berlin however had the biggest turnout I have seen for these tours to date. Split into approx. 6 groups of 20 […]
