Bavaria Trip | More of Regensburg
When I was in Regensburg, I was so charmed with the town and without realizing it, I took too many pictures. I always take many pictures, but this time, the amount was excessive. Not surprising, actually, since everything was perfect that day. It was sunny, the sky was clear blue, and the spring was in…

Bavaria Trip | Regensburg
It was my last day in Germany. By that time, I’d traveled to nearby towns and even ventured a bit further to visit Neuschwanstein Castle and the Zugspitze. As I was staying Regensburg, I somehow thought it wouldn’t be hard to fit in some time to explore the city. I saved the last day for…

Bavaria Trip | Zugspitze and Linderhof Palace
This post is titled ‘Zugspitze and Linderhof Palace‘ while in reality, we also visited a bunch of other places that day. But since long title wouldn’t be too good, I should settle with this. Continuing our journey from Neuschwanstein Castle, we drove to Linderhof Palace, another project of Ludwig II. On the way there, we…

Bavaria Trip | Neuschwanstein Castle
When we were planning my trip to Germany, Marion asked me where I’d like to go. To that question, I only had 1 answer: Neuschwanstein Castle. It was decided long before I got there that Neuschwanstein Castle needed a whole weekend of its own, since it was a bit far from Regensburg. When we talked…

Bavaria Trip | Munich
When Marion suggested to visit Munich on my fourth day, to be honest I wasn’t really interested. Munich is such a big city, and I knew I wasn’t the biggest fan of big cities. I’ve always preferred walking around than taking public transport to enjoy a place, as I feel walking gives me more chances…

Bavaria Trip | Bamberg
You might remember my affinity for bright colors (if not, click here and here to see how much I’m obsessed). I have many stock photos reserved for occasional posts like that, and most of those photos were taken in Bamberg. It doesn’t take a genius to guess that Bamberg stole my heart at first glance. I’m…

Bavaria Trip | Nuremberg
One of the perks of staying in Regensburg was, it’s conveniently located in the center of Bavaria, making a day trip to nearby cities wasn’t so much of a hassle. Marion had a few places lined up for me, and the first was… Nuremberg! Being a HUGE fan of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King…

Bavaria Trip | Danube Narrows and Weltenburg Abbey
My Bavaria trip began with an interesting start: a sleepless night. I’d never been the one who could successfully pull an all-nighter, so getting a 2-am bus from Southampton to Gatwick Airport was quite a struggle for me. The waiting at Gatwick was tiresome, I couldn’t sleep as I was worried I’d miss the flight,…

Bavaria Trip | Prelude
This is a story that should have been told a long while ago. I had it written and re-written, but somehow it never felt right, like something was missing. I tried to put it into words, all the feelings and experiences and memories. But while most of the pieces were there, the puzzle was incomplete. I…

Some things along the way vol. 9: Wayfarers
For this installment of Some Things Along the Way series, I gathered some pictures from an old folder. I didn’t realize people-watching would eventually become something habitual for me, all the more when I travel. There’s something intriguing about observing human interactions, and perusing people who enjoy solitude is equally fascinating. I actually have no…
