Impromptu Prague Walkabout
It only took 12 hours to get to Prague after Germanwings decided to delay my first flight and then outright cancel my second leaving me stuck in Düsseldorf with a drink voucher that didn’t cover the cost of any drink in the airport. I arrived in Prague with just enough time to go to bed. Not how I wanted to start this leg of my trip. Continue reading “Impromptu Prague Walkabout”
The Secret of the Grunewald Forest
Deep in the middle of Grunewald forest, to the West of Berlin, lies Teufelsberg, a relic of a bygone era. The Cold War era spy tower has long since been abandoned and is now home to some amazing views and graffiti. Only until recently was it completely illegal to visit Teufelsberg but policy has relaxed and now you can get in to the grounds and climb the towers for less than what it would costs you to visit any of the museums in Berlin. Thankfully it is not some attraction known to all and only a handful of normal people actually maintain the grounds and keep records of who enters.

The Casual Berliner
Once again I lucked out in meeting some interesting people in my travels. I happened to be rooming with Raphaëlle and Julien, two Canadiens on holiday, and hit it off with them after some free shots at the hostel bar. Continue reading “The Casual Berliner”
One Day in the Tivoli Gardens
I had one day to spend in Copenhagen before my flight to Berlin the following afternoon and what better way to spend it than at the Tivoli Gardens. Of course I had to ride every roller coaster. Continue reading “One Day in the Tivoli Gardens”
Fjording Around In Norway
There’s something magical about going to sleep one night and waking up in a new city, eager and ready to explore. There’s something even more magical when it happens to be Norway and the Fjords. Continue reading “Fjording Around In Norway”
Northward Ho!
So for my last day in Iceland I thought it would be a great idea to drive North, as far I could, before I got tired and had to turn back. 14 hours later and I have one beautiful drive behind me.
I started with a 124km journey from Reykjavik to Hruanfossar. A very scenic route with the pay-off being a set of gorgeous baby waterfalls. From Hraunfossar I attempted to go to Hvammstangi. A simple 119km route that should have only taken an hour and forty minutes but instead took me nearly 3 hours because apparently Google Maps thought I had a rugged 4×4. I did not.

The Reykjavik Friendship Goes on the Road
Only in Iceland does it feel normal to rent a car with a group of people you met a little over 24 hours before. Even more so when you plan a 14+ hour road trip to a downed plane, waterfalls, an island, and a thermal pool.
