Short visit to Dublin

I had planned one more city trip this year: Dublin! There I wanted to visit my friend Marie, who I had not seen in a while. This time I was only able to do a short trip – Friday night I left after work and Monday morning I arrived back and went straight to the office again. A bit exhausting, but it was definitely worth it! After a long girls night, I woke up next day to this view:

Not too bad, right? Off we were to a stroll through the center of Dublin which is of manageable size and

Summer Weekend In Lisbon

The next common city trip with Mathijs brought us to Lisbon – into the sun! I must admit, my expectations were very high since almost everyone seems to like Lisbon. But – Lisbon managed to even exceed these expectations. Why… I will tell you now in this blog article. If you just quickly want to see the photos, you can find them here: Photos!

On our first day we woke up in our accommodation at Praca da Figuiera to this view:

Spontaneous Trip To Oslo

In May this year I spontaneously decided to go on a weekend trip to Oslo. Why Oslo? Simply because I had the long Whitsun weekend in front of me and Oslo was the only interesting city with cheap flights on offer on such short notice! 😉

I started my trip Friday after work and landed very late in Oslo. I took the airport bus to the city since there was no local train anymore at that time. If there is, it’s much cheaper. The first impression of Oslo was not that great: Lots of weird people hanging around in the streets at night, run-down buildings,… I didn’t really feel so comfortable. My hostel was also located in one of these areas and welcomed me with a disgustingly musty smell. Do not stay at „Sentrum Hostel“ if you go to Oslo!! Apart from the musty smell there was a very odd audience – I had an African lady staying in my dorm who seemed to „live“ there and looked like a hooker… The hostel is probably cheaper than renting a room in Oslo,…?

Luckily next day was better! First I walked to the famous opera house which looks a bit like an ice berg floating in the water.

Then I walked down Radhusgata as a contrast, where Mehr lesen…
