Tegernsee I've been doing a bit of time travel recently, revisiting places through old photographs that I somehow didn't get around to sharing at the time. And on my most recent trip via my camera roll, I spent some time in Tegernsee. I remember it well - a beautiful Sunday afternoon, Jamie and I ...
Day Tripping: Regensburg
A Day Trip to Regensburg 🍂 In October 2019, when I was off university for a reading week, I took the opportunity to travel back to Munich to spend time with Jamie. Regensburg had been on our to-visit list for some time. So on the Saturday, catching the train from the central station, we took off for ...
Day Tripping: Königssee, Berchtesgaden
Königssee First up in my retrospective blogging, a visit to Königssee... from 2017! Nestled in Berchtesgaden National Park and surrounded by the Alps, Königssee is one of the finest jewels in Bavaria's already jewel-laden crown. It's German for 'King's Lake', and it's not hard to see why it has a ...
Day Tripping: Grainau
Just a mini post today! While life and travel has been put on pause, I've been enjoying looking through old photos and doing a bit of time travel, in this case back to 2018, when we visited Grainau for a day trip. On one of our weekend trips to Garmisch, we took an impromptu day trip to Grainau, an ...
Autumn at Viktualienmarkt
Viktualienmarkt One of Munich's unique charms is that it is a bustling city with a village feel. Evolving from a traditional farmer's market, Viktualienmarkt is now a thriving and diverse hub in the heart of Munich. Local vendors flaunt their goods in this charming cobbled square; from locally ...
Zugspitze: The Top of Germany
Zugspitze - The Top of Germany On our recent trip to Garmisch, we spent our second day 2962m up! Quite literally known as 'The Top of Germany', Zugspitze is Germany's tallest peak. To get there involves a journey by cogwheel train through a tunnel in the mountain, which leaves you off at ...
The Hills are Alive… Garmisch Partenkirchen
Garmisch Partenkirchen First of all, I do apologise if the title of this post has put 'The Sound of Music' in your head. But I guess it's not the worst ear-worm to have, right? Even though the musical was on the Austrian side of the Alps, it was still very much in my mind and I'm not ashamed to say ...
Photo Diary: A Day Trip to Nuremberg
Earlier this week, my fiancé was attending a conference in Cologne, so I had a few days to entertain myself. I made use of the Bayern ticket and took myself off for a day trip to Nuremberg. The Bayern ticket is a great travel scheme. You can travel anywhere in Bavaria for only 23 euros return (or 26 ...
Visiting Dachau
I visited Dachau concentration camp last month. I was both reluctant and keen to visit, but I am glad I experienced it and would recommend it to anyone. Although horrific, it is so important that what happened is remembered. It was a powerful, harrowing and sobering experience, which is not easy ...
Photo Diary: An Afternoon in Berlin
Berlin photo diary A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to join Jamie on a work-related trip to Berlin. While my hubby-to-be was there on business, my presence was very much of leisure. Berlin was the first place we ever went on holiday together and it was lovely to be back. I was only ...
Berlin, Ich Liebe Dich
Guttentag, readers! I’m sorry I disappeared… again! I’m not long back from Berlin with the Beau and we’re already missing it terribly. Have any of you been? We had a fantastic time. It’s the most incredible city, always hiving with activity, always things to do, places to see – we had a great time ...
