Hello fans, Apologies for late entry. As most of you know, we came back to Finland on the 12th, and since then I’ve just been lazing about, happy to be at home. So, our last whole day we spent in Copenhagen. Lovely town and all, but I think it was a bit of a downhill […]

Day 22: Bye bye Berlin ON A TRAIN ON A FERRY
Hej! From the same train, Hamburg-Copenhagen. Guess what is today’s most exciting experience: Sat on a train on a ferry. Yup, well I at least found it hilarious. Our train alongside cars and trucks on the cardeck of a ferry from Germany to Denmark. 😀 Anyways, this morning, woke up in our luxury hotel room. […]
Day 20: The day we learnt to speak German
Guten tag from a funny German train from Frankfurt to Berlin (frooooom Frankfurt to Berlin in every disco I get in my heart is pumping for love, pumping for love….)*. Germans are SO ORGANISED but the one thing they fail atis numbering trains! I am sat on seat 78, CC next to me is on […]

Day 19: Experiencing Basel and Maria
Today was a fun day, maybe one of the best so far! Apart from sitting in a train for a few hours from Basel to Heidelberg, we didn’t really have much planned. Decided we’d explore Basel a bit and see what we find. I am, to be honest, right now a bit bored of walking […]
Day 18: Switzerland Sightseeing
Today was the day we left Interlaken and took the scenic train to Montreux, which is in the west of Switzerland, in the French speaking area, at Lake Geneva. It started not too well with me in floods of tears and CC running barefoot thru town, now with shocking blood blisters on his feet. (Once […]
Day 15: Rome in a day
One of the days I was most looking forward to! And an excellent day. First of all, as I mentioned in the previous entry: ROMA PASS is worth it. 34 euros, okay in the end I doubt we actually “saved” money by getting it, but it is SO WORTH IT because for the first two […]
Day 14: Tiramisu & Boboli amongst other things
Started off quite sleepy too. We checked out of our cool hotel/hostel, Siggorno Pitti in Florence (it had an official-looking reception, a very light, big and cool dining room/lounge with pretty sofas and lots of stuff to read) and after a typically disappointingly average breakfast we decided not to venture too far but just explore the […]
Day 13: Pisa & Florence
Bonjorno! Today has been quite a slow-pace non-happeny day in comparison with yesterday. I woke up just before 10 (record since literally MONTHS), whereas CC was woken up by our Hong Kongian roomy’s alarm at 7.30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. He was not impressed. Plan was: The tower of Pisa in the […]
Day 12: CINQUE TERRE!
Today was one of the days I’d been most waiting for – Cinque Terre – five little villages on the coast of Italy, between Genova and Pisa, and the national park around them. There is a train linking them, but what many people do is walk it. 11km and 5h, which doesn’t seem too bad. […]
Day 11: First impressions of ITALY!
Today was the day we left France and headed towards our third big destination, Italy. We started off with another nice bigger brekkie in Nice, then walked over to the station. CC got a not-so-nice (even tho he was in Nice 🙁 ) last memory of France of nearly being pickpocketed, literally we were in front […]
