Sad times. Today was my last day travelling Europe as I head back home tomorrow. I’d like to take some time to reflect on my amazing travels thus far: It was fun. Ok, that’s enough reflection for now. Now for the events of the final day! Still in the wondrous city of Vienna, just not … More The Last Day

I’ll try and make it quick. Started off going to the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum (Army History Museum) – A big museum dedicated to the military of Austria from around the 1600’s to WW2, or more less to the 1980’s if you include the Panzer Museum. The 4 main wings include a 1600’s wing, with displays of … More Meet The Habsburgs

Short and unexciting post: I left Hallstatt and made it to the Austrian city of Linz. (Pronounced Lints).

Time again for another German city with a … More Linz

I finally left Germany. Sad times. Anyways I took a train east into the far, far away country of Austria to finish off my trip abroad. Annoyingly for some unannounced reason there was a problem or something with the tracks, and we all had to get off early. Then I had to take a bus … More Laketown

Well I got up with my grand plans, and looked out the window. Clouds and fog. I proceeded with my plans anyway hoping the day would get better. So I took a trip again down to Königssee (King’s Lake). Still cloudy and foggy. This time, I did not go to St. Bartholomä’s  Church, the unique … More Clouds Vol. II

Well, it happened. Exactly what I didn’t want to happen. Clouds… Gloomy, cloudy, foggy clouds. And rain. Lots of rain. Forecast said it was supposed to clear up. It never did. Said it’s supposed to be clear tomorrow, and had to delay some of my grand plans hoping the weather gets better. Anyways I spent … More Clouds

Well, finallllyyyyy left Munich today after 10 days/11 nights and it makes me sad – It went by soooo fast! It’s far longer than any other stay I’ve ever done, which I think my previous maximum was 6 or maybe 7 days. But since Munich is so cool I decided to add 7 more days … More Outta There
