Are definitely not free, as was shown to me today. The best thing, which is tied in the #1 spot is chocolate. Went to a cool museum today called Chocoversum, a small shop and guided tour of a chocolate factory, though it isn’t a factory. There is very little to do and see, it is … More The Best Things In Life

It all started with a long s-bahn (street train) to the suburb of Blankanese (blawnk – a – nays – uh) a lomg ways west of down town. A walk to the beaches of the Elbe river reveal the wrecks of 2 old boats sitting on the sands for visitors to check out. I will … More A Naughty Nautical Day

Well it was a rough day which I shall make up for tomorrow. My feet are really feeling the pain. Anyways, I got a lot of shopping done which was nice. Well that about sums the day up. Not really. Or is it really? No, it isn’t, it goes further, So the first thing I … More Hamburg…ers

So I got to1 of the 2 museums I was hoping to finish off. The one I did is known as the Übersee Museum (over seas museum). A neat museum with displays about far away places over seas. The South Pacific, Asia, the Middle East, and rain forests. Though some of those aren’t actually overseas … More Oktoberfest 2?

A mostly uneventful day, spent most of the day walking aroumd window shopping. There were 3 museums I was hoping to do today, but virtually all museums in Germany are closed Mondays. I will do 1 tomorrow at least before leaving. One of the others I think is closed on Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and it … More Bremen By Day, Bremen By Night…As Well

In the morning I took subway ride a ways north to a town called Kaiserswerth (kaisers – vare – t). There is a neat historical totally ruined 1000 year old remnants of an old castle called Kaiserpfalz. It’s not super huge and amazing but it was cool. Just neat ruins on the Rhine. There were … More Getting Delayed By Hitler

Damn these trains in western Germany cant’t do anything right. In total truth, at least the ones I have been on have been delayed more often than not, not just showing up 30 seconds late, I mean 5, 10 and sometimes even 20 mintes late. More or less was the case for me today, the … More The City Whose Name Everybody Loves

Theme park day 2. This time at Phantasialand land, in the town of Brühl, a short distance south of Cologne. It was another very fun, very exciting ‘freizeit park’ or, freetime park. This one also broken up into geographic locations…more or less. Each land has a resident dragon character representing it, from Schneck of the … More Phantasialand

A walking day in Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (the old Roman name for Cologne). It started with where I left off yesterday saying I would come back to something morbid, which I certainly did. A church, St. Ursula’s Church. What’s so creepy about this church? The Golden Chamber, a room with lots of gold. What’s … More Radioactive Bio-Mechanical Zombie Pirate Amputees
