Destination Europe


 

Since I was a child, I dreamt of visiting Schloss Neuschwanstein (even though I could never pronounce the name ). I finally made the trip last year and wasn’t disappointed (shame about the weather though). A true fairytale castle!

As if I didn’t know that already but this just confirms it:

Test your crappy French internet connection here.

I’m sure Schloss Linderhof would be beautiful in spring and summer but it’s definitely not worth visiting in winter. When we went last November, all the fountains were dry, all the statues bordered up, and the trees and flower beds bare. To top it off, we arrived late in the day and the castle was [...]

Bamburg

I read that Bamburg is one of Germany’s most beautiful cities and while it’s definitely pretty, it’s not beautiful when compared to the many French towns I’ve visited. It is a nice city to walk around and our 2 nights here were more than enough to see everything.

Another thing I love about Germany is that you can buy hot chips on the street from shops that sell nothing but chips! I love those places. For around 1 euro you get a huge serving of chips topped with your choice of sauce. Why can’t you get that here in Paris? Maybe I should [...]

I don’t really like French cakes which is probably a good thing seeing I would be tempted to have them every day if I did. Without a doubt they look amazing but they’re just not tasty in my opinion. German cakes on the other hand – creamy and delicious! Not to mention German cakes are [...]

Lille

On our way back to Paris from Bruges, we stopped in Lille. I would have loved to have stayed a while to explore the city but we really didn’t have time. We did a quick bus tour of the city, had lunch, and left. From what I saw I’d have to say it’s one of [...]
