  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 12: Positive Vibes and Negative Results

    Yesterday was a slower day. I stayed in bed until 13:00 or so and recovered some well needed sleep. After that I went out to get some breakfast. At a place called Black Panther I got a really nice burger/sandwich made from a buttery smooth croissant topped with salad, tomatoes, mayonnaise, mozzarella and green pesto.…

  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 11: Adiós Amigas

    This “morning” I got up at 10:00 after only around 5 hours or so of sleep. Sadly I was not able to extend my stay in the hostel in Barcelona, since the place was booked out, so it was time for me to pack my stuff. After a rather embarrassing self-made breakfast consisting of a…

  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 10: Pub Crawl

    My plan for today was to further explore the historic part of the city, as well as the Mercat la Boqeria. The best way I can think of to describe the later is that it looks like the hall of a train station, which hosts a permanent funfair, which however only consists of food stands…

  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 8: Perpignan

One suggestion was to go from Narbonne to Port-Bou which is just a few kilometers from the border, already in Spain and to continue from there. During my ride on the train, I checked again and it suggested…

  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 7: Mosquitos

    My next stop was Narbonne. Originally I wanted to go from Bordeaux directly to Spain, but there were no train connections. So instead the Interrail app recommended me to cross France to the East to go to Narbonne and then from there South to enter Spain. So that was the plan for today. Unfortunately the…

  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 6: Laundry Day

    Today I had a thought: You cannot run away from being lonely. Besides some short exceptions, I haven’t really met anyone yet during my travel. The only people I really talked to were friends and family on the phone. Am I lonely? Maybe. But that’s okay for now, I guess.

  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 5: Bonsoir

    This morning I extended my stay in La Rochelle for another day. The night was relatively quiet, since in my 6-bed dormitory only one other bed had been booked. So after a good night of sleep I went to get some breakfast and then straight to the reception to book another night.

  • Europe Trip Journal – Entry 3&4: Nantes & La Rochelle

    This post is a little bit delayed. Yesterday, after having a petit-dej’ with a room mate I took the metro to get to the train station for my next journey. I tried capturing the atmosphere in the metro with a sound recording.
