Our train alongside cars and trucks on the cardeck of a ferry from Germany to Denmark. š Anyways, this morning, woke up in our luxury hotel room. […]

Day 19: Experiencing Basel and Maria
Today was a fun day, maybe one of the best so far! Apart from sitting in a train for a few hours from Basel to Heidelberg, we didn’t really have much planned. Decided we’d explore Basel a bit and see what we find. I am, to be honest, right now a bit bored of walking […]
Day 18: Switzerland Sightseeing
Today was the day we left Interlaken and took the scenic train to Montreux, which is in the west of Switzerland, in the French speaking area, at Lake Geneva. It started not too well with me in floods of tears and CC running barefoot thru town, now with shocking blood blisters on his feet. (Once […]

Day 14: Tiramisu & Boboli amongst other things
Started off quite sleepy too. We checked out of our cool hotel/hostel, Siggorno Pitti in FlorenceĀ (it had an official-looking reception, a very light, big and cool dining room/lounge with pretty sofas and lots of stuff to read) and after a typically disappointingly average breakfast we decided not to venture too far but just explore the […]
Day 6: From the North to the South…
…of France. Lille-Toulouse, via Paris. 5Ā½ hours from Paris Montparnasse-station to Toulouse, I got bored after 2Ā½. CC happily made friends with the little restless girl opposite (the one singing Gangnam Style) whilst I made a decision never to haveĀ children.Ā Got to Toulouse at six in the evening. Tbf, I wasn’t impressed. The route […]
Day 5: Let’s do some travelling!
(Written earlier this afternoon) Hello from a TGV train towards TOULOUSE. The little girl across from me has just finished droning, very bored, a renditioning of Gangnam Style (āeeee, exileideeā, I doubt she knows what she is supposed to be singing thankfully), whilst the guy behind me had just stopped listening to Gentleman (Psy’s new […]
Day 1: And so it begins……
Dear fans, family and friends, This wasĀ the view from my window this morning. A view I was quite happy to leave. Ok, granted this was after a brilliant year as an English assistant at a prestigious school in France, but this view also meant work, school and stress (and a badly cut lawn, merci Monsieur). […]
