2-23-15 began day with plans to take a boat ride on the lake in the city center (Binnenalster) and walked down but the boats were not going because not enough people wanted to ride (was Monday, not tourist season, overcast) so we decided to walk around the lake (2 photos). The art museum was closed on a Monday, so we sat in a nice café overlooking the lake and had coffee and read our nooks for a bit. Basti picked us up at 1 pm and we went to a shopping mall that, except for the signs being in German, looked like any American mall. (in Germany, you can shop with your dog! photo). We all had lunch at a Thai restaurant. We went to a store to buy a shirt for Preston with a German ... read more

Along with some of my family, we got a good deal on a mini cruise with Cunard on their beautiful ship called Queen Elizabeth. The ship sailed from Southampton to Hamburg and spent a couple of days at sea. This was the third time that I had ever cruised, but I have to say that I am not cruise mad like some people I know. For me, cruising is about relaxing, eating lots, drinking, being well looked after by the ship's crew, enjoying good entertainment and getting the opportunity to sometimes see several places/countries all in one go. This does sound like a perfect vacation, however, the downsides to this can be the cruise being quite costly itself, along with on-board spending and tipping, plus some port of calls you only get a few hours to ... read more

hello! My name is alice, I'm 18 years old and I'm going to travel around the world for some weeks with my friend Ebba, I'll try to write as often as I can here to tell you about my experiences! We started the trip on the 9th of October, 11:40 am We took the train from Gothenburg to copenhagen, arriving 3:28 Pm.We both bought interrail cards for 269 €, plus 1€ for thief protection some weeks before this and it works in this way that you can be gone for 22 days, but you can only travel on 10 days during that time! It was the cheapest one we found, and it seem to work great! We had to change train to a train to one to Hamburg, but we had half an hour In Copenhagen ... read more

I think the best way to leave this first entry is with one of my favorite text, poems, books...whatever you'd like to call it, that I didn't truly apprechaite (or understand) until recently: "Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go. You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care. About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there." With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart ... read more
