Last night the food was basic but tasty. I got back into my tent on top of the hostel and it was still too warm. I had a good shower and used my small fan to chill the tent. It worked and I had one of the best night’s sleep […]

Will’s birthday. Last night we wandered to another beer Keller restaurant. The first we entered didn’t even acknowledge us as we stood waiting to be served. We end up in much nicer place, albeit the staff are similarly rude and blunt. This, plus the tipping culture in Munich, is tiresome. […]
Yesterday evening Will and I marched around Munich to see various landmarks. It was so hot, but really interesting to see. I prefer Munich to Cologne, and it offers a different side to Germany than Berlin. I’d like to spend more time here than racing around in the heat. We […]
We are up fairly early and make our way to Cologne Hauptbanhof to get a train to Munich. General chaos ensues. Nothing on the platform matches the Interrail app, and Will and I find ourselves on a ghost train, a journey that exists in the physical world but not on […]

Bratislava Hlvana station at night was characterful. Not unpleasant but could be for some people. Younger me would probably have been intimidated with the drunks. I just found them drunk. I ate a schnitzel at the station restaurant. The train was 30 minutes late getting in, so I was last […]
The train was straightforward enough. I thought I slept okay but my Fitbit says it was rubbish. What does it know? I arrived into Vienna around 5.25am. I paid 50 cents to use the bathroom and changed my pants and socks. I am throwing old clothes away when I am […]
Last night I walked next door for some Polish food then slept for a full 9 hours and 46 minutes. Amazing. I had showered beforehand and it felt amazing. This morning I woke, wandered around and am sat having breakfast in a cafe in the old town. It is delightfully […]
High drama this morning. First, very little sleep as the hostel was full of selfish people taking thirty minute showers, banging doors, switching lights on. The Aussie girl also didn’t show up before 3am, so I hope she’s safe. I got up to watch England play Mexico. Watch first half […]
