A Rowe in Rostock
After checking out in the morning I headed to the central Hamburg train station to catch a train to Rostock. I had a little bit of time to wait at the station so I checked out the shops and I had a bite to eat before boarding. Originally I was heading to Rostock to...
History in Hamburg
On Friday morning I made my way from Bochum back to Hagen to catch a train to Hamburg. After spending the last two weeks with people I was back to real solo travelling. It was evening by the time I arrived in Hamburg and made my way to my hotel. I checked in and then...
Just a Train Ride Away
I spotted a few panel pieces on the trains at the station as I waited for my trains to arrive. First I went from Zaandam to Amsterdam and then changed for the train I was taking to Germany. This was my first border crossing train. It was nice getting to just sit,...
VEGAN EATS: Netherlands
There was more eating in during my week in the Netherlands, than out. My time here was mostly spent visiting Amsterdam as I was staying in Zaandam. However I did get to sample some good foods and I will happily share what I can with you. I can't even actually share...
Art & Ageing
On Friday morning I got up and headed into Amsterdam for a tip-based walking tour. It was a good start to the day and gave me a bunch of info I didn't really know about Amsterdam and the Netherlands. It wasn't a tour full of too many dates and names, instead it...
Wind it Up
Thursday was another day to work and stay on top of things. It was also a good day for me to cook a curry for dinner. This is a standard of my normal working day routine at home. I work and cook during the day so it's good to go when everyone is ready. Also just nice...
Amsterdam, Zaandam, Oh My
I spent more time riding the bus from Milton Keynes to the airport and waiting at the airport than I did in the air to get to Amsterdam. If I did the trip again, either way I think I would try to train that I found out about. In my head I went, there is lots of water...

It's time for Part Two of the UK Vegan Eats edition. THE RED HOUSE (NEWPORT PAGNELL) The day I arrived in Newport Pagnell to catch up with Damo we went and checked out The Red House. It popped up in a search for a place with vegan meal, and they actually have a...
Final UK Weekend
On Saturday I packed my things and got ready to spend my final days in the UK back visiting Damo (and the dogs). I'm starting to feel like a pro getting myself around London with the trains and all that. It's still Google Maps who is the star of the show, or actually...
London Days
The bus to London from Leeds was about another 5 hour ride. The coaches really are quite an easy and pleasant way to go. I booked all my bus trips through TodayTix and it turned out that she had never seen Wicked and wanted to. Currently in the cast as Elphaba was a...
Short & Sweet
The trip from Glasgow to London was about a 10 hourish bus ride. However I broke my trip up with a short and sweet visit back through Leeds/New Pudsley and stopped in at Callum's one more time. It was so nice to get to see them all again so soon after saying goodbye...
Edinburgh & Glasgow
It was about a 5 hour bus ride from Leeds to Edinburgh! Originally I had looked into spending about a month or so in Scotland, but that was before I had made plans that involved other people. Scotland has always been on the to go to list and as my plans were adaptable...
