I love to travel solo, take photos and eat! I don't get to do it often enough but when I do I talk about it here.
It's time for a break from writing up old trips and to start sharing my recent adventure. In May I spent 23 nights in Europe, just me, my camera, my walking shoes and my appetite. My fourth trip to Europe in just over four years. The planning for this trip was erratic at best. Having... Continue Reading →
I visited Prague in June 2016. My first full day in Prague started with a walk to the hotel that served breakfasts for the apartment, about a block away. I don't normally add breakfast to a booking but this one was cheap and it was well worth it with a generous buffet. I didn't have... Continue Reading →
I visited Krakow in June 2016. By my final day in Krakow my feet hated me. We had walked miles, I had blisters on my blisters and I needed to look after them a bit better. So we did what we should have a couple of days earlier and figured out how to use the... Continue Reading →
I visited Krakow in June 2016. When we got back to Krakow from Auschwitz we were quite exhausted but keen not to waste an evening and we really needed a lift after that full on day. So we cleaned ourselves up and headed back to the Old Town. Poland is known for its flavored vodkas... Continue Reading →
I visited Krakow in June 2016. OK. Deep Breath. This was a tough day. I'm not going to include as many photos as usual out of respect. I read Elli as a teenager. From memory it was a year 12 book, which meant I read it several times and wrote essays about it. It stayed... Continue Reading →
I visited Krakow in June 2016. Krakow was to be a different kind of trip for me. I wasn't alone. I met a friend there, from my hometown, who had been at a conference in Prague. We both had a keen interest in Holocaust history, having both read Elli as teenagers and when we realised... Continue Reading →
I visited Warsaw in June 2016. After Berlin my next destination was Krakow, Poland. To get there involved taking a train to Warsaw and then another to Krakow. Not being someone to ignore an opportunity I booked my trains so as to have a 5 hour stop over in Warsaw. My research told me the... Continue Reading →
I visited Berlin in June 2016. My third day was another big day. On my list of things I wanted to see was the Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz. It was the location for the meeting where the leaders of Germany confirmed the 'final solution', the plan to exterminate the Jewish race. I had watched the movie... Continue Reading →
A few people have asked me about my trip and I have directed them here so I'd though I'd add a one pager summary for those who don't want to wade through dozens of pages and hundreds of photos. My trip involved 23 nights on the ground in Greece. Day 1 Arrived in the evening... Continue Reading →
After 23 nights in this amazing country I had reached my final day. My flight wasn't until late in the evening so I had a day to fill. By the end of the day I had made a mental note not to do late in the day flights again, as filling the afternoon and evening... Continue Reading →
