Life in Lyon
A comfortable high speed journey got us into Lyon around late evening. We headed to our Airbnb, had a bit of dinner, tried to buy some booze (apparently store policy is no sale after 9), Flora messed her foot again. The usual. Then we headed to a nearby pub. We’d come to Lyon mostly to…

The Capitol of Europe
Brussels is not one of the prettier cities I’ve been to. It feels stuck in the past being there. I can’t explain it but it’s just a feeling I had. We arrived to our hostel fairly late and headed out to find some shops for dinner – of which there were not many. The hostel…

Reunions in Amsterdam
Tragedy struck on the journey to Amsterdam. Not only was our train delayed (giving me an hour or so to explore Hanover), but I also lost my headphones. For a young Gen Z’er such as myself this hit home especially close. Suffice it to say, I was not the happiest when we arrived 5 hours…

Better in Berlin
Glad to report that I’m feeling pretty well these days. Other than ability to process alcohol we seem to have reached peak physical human ability again. We arrived in Berlin late and dropped our bags at the hostel. Happily we then took a look around the city. My €9 pass for German transport came in…

Wish I Saw more (and drank more)
The Poland dash comes to an end. As does the travels to Eastern Europe. I’ve enjoyed my time around this half of the continent but making my way back towards Western Europe is sounding good – although not so much for the bank account. Warsaw is a fantastic modern city. It’s a good cross point…

Tired in Krakow
The night train was not very fun and not something I’m eager to repeat. Sat in a compartment with 5 other people – in the middle – was not very comfortable. I think combined I maybe slept 3 hours at a stretch. When we rolled in at 6:00am I was about ready to kill Chris…

Ow Vienna
A brief stop off in a Vienna today before my night train to Krakow. Beginning to feel a bit better now and firming up a bit. However not completely comfortable yet. There’s not much to say really. I found Flora, Niamh and Chris and then found some bland food for dinner. We walked around a…

Doing shit in Prague
I arrived in Prague with high spirits. Despite the bad weather. The hostel was nice and we managed to get some (very) cheap drinks at the bar. As well recommended a vegan Vietnamese place which was nice. We met a lot of other travellers and it was quite a nice night. The next day we…

A solo quest to Budapest
My intension was only to stay here for one night and then get a sleeper train to Prague the next day. However a combination of arriving two hours late, having difficulty booking a train ticket, and my immediate love for the city meant I decided fairly quickly to stay another night. I’m very glad I…

Layover evening
I wish I could say I’d made the most of my third night in Zagreb but in honestly I was knackered after the train. We arrived about 9pm and went straight to the flat. After a mishap with the host trying to retrieve the code to get in we managed to get in and all…
