London - Day 5

We wake around 8am for our last full day in London and of the trip. We get ready and take the tube to Euston for breakfast at Pinner Cafe, a proper greasy-spoon. We each order a form of English brekky and as is customary it comes with a loaf of

London - Day 4

Back to London today, via the Eurorail. Easy enough to get to Gare du Nord and the immigration process was smooth enough. Although up to this point, travelling through the European countries there has been no immigration or customs to deal with at all, we've simply waltzed off

Paris - Day 4

It's our last full day in Paris and we wake with the sounds of punk rock melodies in our head (could also be the pounding as a result of one too many late night Heinekens). Either way, we're taking it a bit slower this morning with

Paris - Day 3

Massive day lined up today. Monet in the morning, punk rock in the evening 🤘 First, the usual hotel breakfast before heading towards Point Nuef for a river cruise. We get the metro and pop our heads up at a flower market. The sun is shining but it's not

Paris - Day 2

We sleep in until 9am and then head downstairs for the hotel breakfast. There are baguettes and pastries aplenty, very French. Our first full day in a new city is usually a big one and this one will be no exception. We figure out how to get a metro ticket

Paris - Day 1

Despite only a 1 hour 50 minute flight from Prague to Paris it ends up being a long travel day. Breakfast at the hotel then out the door. A 12pm flight but we don't end up at our Paris hotel in the 17th arrondissement until about 4pm. We

Prague - Day 3

We wake and have breakfast in the hotel again before heading out for a walking tour we've got booked for today. We have time so we take a longer route, seeing a bit more of the area we're staying in. It definitely feels less touristy and

Prague - Day 2

A hotel breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs and a sausage this time. That sets us up well for a big morning walk up the hill to see the sights. The park starts across the street from us and its a steep climb to the top, taking about 25 minutes. There

Prague - Day 1

We're off to Prague today on the bus. The bus isn't until 10ish and Courts is awake at 6:30 so decides to go out for a run. It's nice and quiet this time of morning, not many people around. She runs around the

Dresden

A 2 hour train from Berlin. Not too difficult, although again its a bit of free-for-all in terms of getting the right seat. We have seat numbers on our tickets, but it seems hit and miss about how religiously people are following that. Stepping off the train in Dresden and

Berlin - Day 4

We've got a big last full day planned so we're aiming to be at the DDR Museum when it opens at 9am. Naturally, we sleep in til 8:45am. Ah well. We have a quick brekky in the room and hit the road, the museum is

Berlin - Day 3

We go with the same home-made breaky today since it did the job well yesterday. We have a tour booked at 10am called "The Rise and Fall of Hitler" which aims to cover off on a lot of the history about the lead up to World War 2

Berlin - Day 2

In an effort to have a somewhat healthier start to the day, we've bought some yoghurt, fruit and muesli to have in the hotel. We have a civilised breakfast at the hotel room's desk and then head out to embrace the city that smells like sewerage,

Berlin - Day 1

Mostly a long train travel day (7 hours and 4 trains) for us today, starting at 5:15am from Aarhus central station, about a 15 minute walk. We have our packed breakfast ready to go this time. We have treated ourselves to first class seats, meaning a roll (a parting

Aarhus - Day 2

We're awake around 8:30am and out the door by 9:30am. We're craving a regular (to us) breakfast (aka not just bread, jam and cheese, some protein, pleassseee!), so we're headed for a café in the Latin Quarter. The Latin Quarter is cobble

Aarhus - Day 1

We're on the move again today with an 8:30am bus leaving not far from the hotel. Not enough time for breakfast or coffee, unfortunately. But 3 hours later and a quick stop at Odense for what was pretty much just a desperate nicotine break, and we are

Copenhagen - Day 3

Copenhagen - Day 3

One of the things we've noticed about this part of Europe is they are not early starters and in case you missed it, it's still light at 10pm so there’s usually stuff going on late. Which is nice as we dont feel the need to

Copenhagen - Day 2

Copenhagen - Day 2

Some breakfast at a local cafe to start the day. Wow it was expensive. About $80 for 2 coffees, a breakfast bagel and an acai bowl. Great stuff though. We walk to the Denmark National History Museum. The building is nice, but its not clear where to start, and we

Copenhagen - Day 1

Copenhagen - Day 1

We had a much needed early night last night, so we're up early for a run. It's 6:30 on a Saturday morning and there's really nothing like seeing a city before everyone else is up. And also having cool running maps from all

Gothenburg - Day 2

Gothenburg - Day 2

The hotel buffet breakfast is sensational. We fill up on eggs, bread, muesli, yoghurt, everything. Plenty of fuel for all the culture and exploration we plan for today, starting with the Universeum. Its raining as we walk up the iconic Avenyn; not that impressive, although it is 10am on a

Gothenburg - Day 1

Gothenburg - Day 1

It's time to leave Stockholm, sadly. We've a very early start of 4:20am. We say our goodbyes and hop in an Uber to the train station. We farewell Stella who is going back to Manchester and hop on our 5:35am train to Gothenburg, a

Stockholm - Day 5

Stockholm - Day 5

Our last day in Stockholm, how sad. We have a slightly better crack at the hotel breakfast this morning but still don't dare try the coffee. We check out and get a short Uber back to Tomas and Sarah's where we are staying for the last

Stockholm - Day 4

Stockholm - Day 4

The "hotel" has a "buffet" breakfast. We scrape together a sandwich and a bowl of muesli, but the coffee is not drinkable. So, first stop, a cafe. We head to nearby Pascal which is recommended by the locals. The coffee is strong, and that's

Stockholm - Day 3

Stockholm - Day 3

We're treated to another buffet brekky of eggs, ham, cheese, bread, kalle, yoghurt, fruit and muesli and we're feeling very spoilt and wonder if Tomas and Sarah will mind us moving in on a more permanent basis. Tomas is working today, so Sarah and Arlo have

Stockholm - Day 2

Stockholm - Day 2

We are keen for a run today to see a bit of Stockholm, so Tomas maps out a loop and the 3 of us set off, mostly along the water front. Its a good setup for running. We enjoy running on the boardwalk and taking in the views. It then
