When life gives you lemons, make limonchello! Or something along those lines… was our thinking after my torn MCL disrupted our initial plans for February. Our initial plan – German workaways – were not really going to be a viable option with my limited mobility, so we went back to the drawing board… and decided …

It has been a long time between posts… a few weeks in fact. I have a pretty good excuse for this, I promise. Mittenwald and a Knee Twist We arrived in Mittenwald, Southern Bavaria (almost in Austria it is so far south), Germany way back in late January. This gorgeous little town was to be …

I guess I should start this post with an apology to you, my readers – it has been two weeks between posts, and I can’t help but feel guilty! There’s good reason for this though – we’ve been busy, enjoying some adventures off the normal tourist track. Today is day 50 of our European adventure …

Another destination and another week of travel adventures have flown by, so it is time for another blog post! Adventures in Český Krumlov Off the back of our time in Vienna, we decided to head to Český Krumlov. I’d had this small Czech town in mind as a destination since reading about it (and seeing …

Happy holiday season all! I’m writing this post from my hostel bed in Budapest, reflecting on a rather special week in Prague. Amazing how much you can cram into 7 days – and how quickly it passes. Prague Highlights I’d been to Prague once before, as part of my month in Europe some 5 years …
Well, 10 days into our trip and I’m already falling behind on blogging! I’m writing this in Prague (for anyone wondering, we were thankfully nowhere near the recent shooting), but will save the wonders of Prague for a future post… as I need to update on our time in Germany! Rothenburg ob der Tauber During …
Hallo from Darmstadt! We’ve been in Germany for 4 days or so now, but it already feels very familiar – which is definitely a positive thing, as we’re hoping for the country to be our home base for a few months post-New Years. Here’s a quick recap of our movement over the few days since …
And we’re off! Up until now, this trip has felt very much like some future concept, rather than something real and tangible. Perhaps because we have both had such busy years, or perhaps because we’ve been planning for it so long. It is amazing however just how quickly everything starts to feel real when you …
