Axu - Assi Visamo

Assi Visamo I'm a Finn who travels frequently and spends most of her holidays somewhere else than at home. I have always wanted to share my travelling experiences with my family and friends, and when I found this site I decided to start my very first travelling blog. I hope you enjoy the blog and pictures! And sorry about the delays in updating the blog entries!!

Hei, Olen muuttanut taas takaisin kotimaahan! Oli haikeaa jättää hyvästit Darmstadtille ja siellä olleille kavereilleni, mutta samalla oli kiva tulla takaisin Suomeen. Seuraavat matkat teen siis taas Suomesta käsin. ****************************************************************************************************************** Hello, I have moved back to Finland! It was hard to say goodbye to my friends in Darmstadt but oddly at the same time it was nice to come back and see my friends and family in Finland. So next trips will be done from Finland.

Hamburg & Lübeck

 Europe » Germany » Schleswig-Holstein » Lübeck
The day II in Hamburg & Lübeck. Today's target: Hamburg! We took an U-bahn (Metro train) from Ahrensburg to Hamburg because it was the most convenient way of travelling to downtown Hamburg. It took about 40 minutes to get to downtown Hamburg. The city of Hamburg lies at the junction of the River Elbe with the Rivers Alster and Bille. The city center lies around two lakes, the Binnenalster ("Inner Alster") and the Aussenalster ("Outer Alster"). We started out by visiting....Lego store! Surprise! It was a nice big store with all sorts of Lego toys and things. Daniela-the-Lego-fan bought a blue [View Full Entry]

My last trip in Germany before heading back home to Finland. So this time I update my Travelblog right after the trip. Unusual, I know, but I bet a nice surprise too! The travels that I still haven't updated here will be written to Travelblog some time soon... Target: Hamburg & Lübeck in northern Germany! I travelled with my Erasmus friends Christina, Daniela and Francesco. Christina is an Erasmus student from Bordeaux but is a German. Daniela comes from Portugal and Francesco from Italy. I...well you know where I come from! This trip was a surprise trip. We "planned" it on [View Full Entry]

Hello, A weekend in July Lynne, a friend of mine from Australia, and I travelled from Darmstadt to southern Germany by car to visit Schloss Neuschwanstein in the county of Schwangau. I planned on writing about this gorgeous place earlier but was too busy travelling, moving back to Finland and working on my Master's thesis. :) Because I didn't write about it then, I decided to add pictures we took during this magnificent weekend. Neuschwanstein is a place worth visiting! Entry to each castles is only with a guide but everything is well organized. Enjoy the pictures!! [View Full Entry]

Berlin IV

 Europe » Germany » District of Berlin » Berlin
The last day in Berlin! So today's target is: shopping!! We decided to head first for Potsdamer Platz and see this new financial and business district of Berlin. The Sony Tower is the most modern building in Potsdamer Platz. The building is curved on one side and flat on the other. The Sony Center has, of course, a Sony store in the first floor but holds also cinemas, hotels and restaurants. There is a huge shopping center called the Arkaden in the area. It was opened in 1998 and immediately became one of the city's favourite shopping centers. It has multiple [View Full Entry]

Berlin III

 Europe » Germany » District of Berlin » Berlin
Berlin - Day III The sun is shining beautifully, it is a warm day. A perfect day to visit Potsdam, an independent city bordering Berlin. We decided to have a "Schloss" day - to see those several gorgeous castles in Potsdam and Berlin. It tooks us an hour to get to Portdam from our hotel. We took the Berlin circular train to Schöneberg station and continued from there with train S1 to Wannsee. We had to switch in Wannsee to train S7 to get to Potsdam railways station. Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg with almost 140 000 inhabitants. It [View Full Entry]

Berlin II

 Europe » Germany » District of Berlin » Berlin
Berlin - Day II Exploring Berlin continued today around 10 am. After a good and nutritious breakfast we headed for the Sachsenhausen Museum in Oranienburg. We had decided beforehand that we want to visit the concentration camp because it is historically meaningful place. The weather was looking good for the outdoor museum so we took a train to Oranienburg. We had learned about concentration camps in history classes so we knew what to expect. But we didn't realize how emotionally stressful the visit would be. Sachsenhausen concentration camp was built by the Nazis in 1936 and it was liberated in 1945 [View Full Entry]

Berlin!!!

 Europe » Germany » District of Berlin » Berlin
Berlin - one of the "must see" cities in Germany! I met Pekka at Berlin-Tegel airport early on Friday morning. He flew there from Finland and I flew in from Frankfurt. A convenient place to meet because it is almost half a way to both of us. We are staying in Berlin for 4 days and we wish to see as many historical places as possible within these days. We did some research in the Internet before the trip and knew that we wanted to have some sort of day or weekend tourist ticket in order to safe money (and trouble!) [View Full Entry]

Todays target: Zugspitze! Yesterday we tried to figure out which one of the mountains was Zugspitze, the highest point in Germany. Today we decided to be sure to see it and after an enormous breakfast (again!) we made plans to drive to Eibsee, where it is said to be the best view of Zugspitze. Eibsee is a mountain lake about 9 km southwest from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The lake is over 3 km long, about 560 meters wide and in average 12 meters deep. At deepest it is 35,4 meters! The water is clear and has a beautiful light blue color. There [View Full Entry]

Garmisch-Partenkirchen Assi Visamo Hello! June 15, 2007 a group of four exchange students of Technische Universität Darmstadt (3 Finns & 1 American) rented a car and drove down to southern Germany to spend a long weekend near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Now after visiting the place I can tell it is a great place to spend a summer holiday - especially if you like outdoors activities like hiking, biking, swimming or mountaining climb. It takes about 4-5 hours to drive down to Garmisch-Partenkirchen from Darmstadt. We stayed on autobahns and trusted our way to the Navigator. "She" said to follow first the autobahn [View Full Entry]
