London Calling
Rain pouring down, trying to drown us in the streets of London was our first experience coming from the tube after a short flight over the Channel. The excellent hotel (citizenM) provided umbrellas but these were simply no match for summer storm passing over. Things improve a bit though as a local was able to …
Eurotrip 2015 – Neuschwanstein
Our last stop on the Eurotrip was Neuschwanstein Castle, in Germany. One of the greatest castles in Europe – and one of the world’s foremost tourist attractions. Part theatre, part fairytale, Neuschwanstein Castle embodies the soul of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, popularly known as ‘mad King Ludwig’. Neuschwanstein was designed to be a hideaway …
Eurotrip 2015 – Ljubljana
Our fourth stop in the Eurotrip was Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana — with a lazy old town clustered around a castle-topped mountain — is often compared to Salzburg. It’s an apt comparison, but only if you inject a healthy dose of breezy Adriatic culture, add a Slavic accent, and replace Mozart with local architect Jože Plečnik. …
Eurotrip 2015 – Bulgaria
Bulgaria’s central heartland is vital to the national consciousness, for its role in the 18th- and 19th-century National Revival; this legacy lingers in the period architecture of Lovech and Koprivshtitsa, and at battle sites such as the forested Shipka Pass. The area around the Central Mountains contains two mayor mountain ranges: the Stara Planina and the Sredna …
Eurotrip 2015 – Istanbul
The second stop on the Eurotrip with Radost was Istanbul, a fascinating city built on two Continents, divided by the Bosphorus Strait. This is one of the greatest cities in the world where you can see a modern western city combined with a traditional eastern city, it’s a melting pot of many civilizations and different people. From the …
Eurotrip 2015 – Vienna
This year, me and Radost made a trip through Europa. Our first stop on the route was in Vienna. Having never been to Vienna in my life before I was eager to experience this capitol of music and imperialism. Having booked a great hotel in the middle of the city, we were able to explore …
Iceland
[su_quote cite=”Stephen Markley” url=”http://talesoficeland.com/”]The problem with driving around Iceland is that you’re basically confronted by a new soul-enriching, breath-taking, life-affirming natural sight every five goddamn minutes. It’s totally exhausting.[/su_quote] Last year I had the chance visit one of the top destinations on my bucket list with my friend, Eveline. Iceland is a land sculpted by …
Cuba
Last year I had the chance to travel to the wonderful island of Cuba with my friend Laura Berger for three weeks. Not having posted any of the pictures taken there I figured this post was long overdue. If you ever would want Cuba now might be the time as recent news is indicating that …
Blijdorp
Last weekend I visited Diergaarde Blijdorp, a zoo in Rotterdam. It had new baby polar bears which just got outside and also features a very nice aquarium called the Oceanium. The weather featured a very pleasant spring like sun and many animals were enjoying it as well. Unfortunately since it was cold some animals still …
