Fernweh

I’ve paid the first half of my plane ticket, so I now have a schedule for leaving New Zealand. Needless to say I’m not happy about it. But here are the dates: June 19: last exam visit Denise, pack and ship all my stuff June 28: Meredith moves into my room travel the South Island, [...]

Besides a lovely phone call with Sibylle, editing of my second assignment, and going grocery shopping, I also spent today (slowly, as my internet is still dial-up) uploading some of my photos – not the ones I took here, but a number of older ones. Most notably you can see the pics I took when [...]

I’m accompanying Sibylle on a visit to her grandmother’s in Troyes. However, we’re also planning on taking a couple of trips to the Paris area, maybe Versailles and Giverny (where Claude Monet’s garden is). With all the traveling back and forth I’ve been doing between Basel and Bern in the past months, it doesn’t feel [...]

Sibylle and I went for a 5-day vacation in Portugal's capital, which was much beautiful than expected. Honestly, I can recommend Lisbon to anyone, especially off-season, when it's not crowded at all. The city center has great charm, despite the obvious signs of neglect with many houses. It's just really, really pretty, and walking up [...]

Oops, I seem to have forgotten to share the photos from my vacation with Sibylle! In June we went to Como in Northern Italy for a week, staying at a beautiful B&B in Erba (half an hour's bus ride from Como) and doing several excursions in the area. It was a great holiday – and [...]

I planned on posting about the family trip to Berlin much earlier, but things (i.e., my thesis) got in the way. Now I thought it might be nice to share the photos I took before the ones from last week's trip to Northern Italy… *g* My parents went earlier and visited Dresden together with my [...]

Thought I might as well start really using my Flickr account and uploaded some photos I've been promising people forever… So here are the pictures from my Scotland trip with . Took me only over half a year to finally share them – hope you enjoy!

Decided to stop worrying about how to post my travel pictures and splurged for a FlickrPro account – so you can see all 71photos I took during the week in Scotland here. Quick run-down of what we did: Friday Travel to Glasgow. Exploration of the lively West End/university quarter (where our hostel was), including a [...]

Guess who's back from Scotland again (although she'd have liked to stayed longer – maybe forever)? Regina and I had an absolutely fantastic time, in Glasgow, Edinburgh and a small village on the Firth of Clyde called Inellan. More about all of this some time later, as it's been a looong day, considering that we [...]

Will be back in a week – hope everyone will have a good time while I'm gone! Although probably not as good as me, surrounded by sexy Scottish accents… *g*
