Backpacking

Our travels around the Europe.

Berlin: tag zwei

Our second day in Berlin was depressing museum day. 
First stop was the Topography of Terror
It was an open air museum about the history of the site which was once an arts school but then the head offices of the SS and Gestapo. There was so much information it took us about 2 hours to [...]

Berlin

Lindsay and I woke up very early at the crack of dawn…7.30am! and said a sad goodbye to Beer and hopped on a tram to the train station. 
We got our Eurail tickets validated at Den Haag and hopped on a train. 
Here is a blog I wrote while on the train to Berlin:
Today we caugh our [...]

We interrupt your holiday with fail.

After our awesome camping trip with Cassie and Jimmy we went and stayed with Pauline’s friend Marlene. From her house we caught the train to Edinburgh to enjoy the festival.
We went to mostly free shows, some were so funny we were crying. My favourite was the Improlympians, they do improvisation skits based on suggestions from [...]

Still camping in Scotland!

We woke up in the morning and couldn’t hear any rain which was exciting. But we could hear this weird munching, crunching noise. I opened the the door of the tent and looked out and saw a herd of cows and 2 bulls! The were standing as close as 50cm from the tent. One even [...]

Scotland Camping #2

We woke up our first morning in John O’Groats. Cassie and Jimmy had left early that morning for a tour of the Orkney Isles. Lindsay and I were planning to enjoy a day in the sunshine we had experienced the afternoon before. But the sound we could hear when we woke up was rain raining [...]

Camping it up, Scotland Style!

Cassie and Jimmy met us at Newcastle station in their red car, packed to the rim! So after a clean out and a reshuffle Lindsay and I hopped in and we drove full speed ahead towards Scotland! The country whose national animal is the Unicorn! Proof of the countries epic awesomeness!
As we crossed the [...]

York, the Old one. And Newcastle also the old one.

Lindsay and I got a lift from Mel to the train station at Harrogate. I waited with our bags while Lindsay went and found us some lunch. While sitting there I made new best friends with 2 ladies and a young boy who I believe was autistic and had a huge interest in trains. They [...]

Yorkshire

After having a rock and roll time in Liverpool it was time to head to Yorkshire to see my Uncle and Aunt, Peter and Mel and my lovely little cousins Charlie and Monty. 
Mel picked us up from the train station and drove us into through the gorgeous Yorkshire country side to the farm where they [...]

Welcome to “Pimp my Blog” today Lindsay has been very busy removing the orange. (I hate the colour orange, don’t tell Holland they may kick me out)

Lindsay has named the theme Windy Elf…LOL
We only fought once or twice didn’t fight at all while designing the layout.
I have decided [...]

Where Lindsay sits on a cannon

After leaving the Ferry from the Channel Crossing we caught a train to London. We had had about 4 hours sleep each. Our hostel was near Kings Cross station. The station that is famous for Platform 9 3/4.

We were going to go through but there were a bunch of teenage muggles hanging around running at [...]
