Coming Home Again
Getting to the Airport The next day I wanted to get up a bit earlier in order to arrive at the airport on time. "Earlier" finally meant 9 am - each day I waited on purpose until the two hosts were gone to work, because once more I realized that I prefered to live alone....

Meeting with the Queen
Water Problems in the Guest Room After three days full of sightseeing that was my last real day in London. There was still no warm water but when I got up my host had already left to work. I tried to talk to his roommate but he didn't speak English so well, so I would...

Meeting "Old Friends"
The excitement of meeting my German friend The next day I had to get up a bit earlier than the days before because a friend from university would come from Oxford to meet me. We would meet at about 11 next to Marble Arch in the Hyde Park. So, I got up, found out that...

The Parade
Lonely but sucessful Sightseeing Day As my friend who was doing his internship in London was too exhausted to spend another sightseeing day with me, I would discover the city on my own that day. After a quick shower I packed my things and left the house - as the first...

Discovering London by foot
The first day in London - Getting to know the City The first day in London I woke up quite early. The main reason for that wasn't the owner taking a shower and getting ready for work, it was me being hungry. Extremely hungry. I hadn't managed to eat something since my...

London is calling
Plans for London - Alone The week passed by so quickly and I didn't even notice where the time had went. I had enjoyed the evenings and lunchtimes with my boyfriend so much that I really regretted having booked that trip to London so much time before. Don't get that...

Last Day of Sightseeing
Jardin du Luxembourg The last day the weather was a bit better as I could assume looking out of the window, but still not sunny or nice. My Mum's flight would be in the evening so we still had almost the whole day to see some last things. But at first we decided to have...

The First of May - La Fête du Muguet
National Holiday - nothing to do The next day - it was still raining - it was the first of May. As in many other countries that's a national holiday celebrating the Day of Labour in France. I had already looked up before if there were any limitations concerning that day...

Sightseeing through Paris
Flirting with a Clown The second day my Mum woke up quite early (as always) and wanted to have breakfast. I would have preferred to stay in bed for 1 hour or something, but as it was our holiday together and she could get quite annoying I got up, too, and took a shower....

Time for more adventures!
Leaving Brussels The next day I packed my things, brought them into the car (which was standing right in front of the door fortunately) and waited for the owner of the apartment to come so that I could give him the keys. I waited and waited but he didn't come. There was...

Atomium and European Parliament
The Atomium of Brussels For the next day I hadn't set up an alarm but anyway I woke up at 8 a. m. Because it was quite noisy outside. I had a small breakfast with the food I had bought the evening before and got ready for my second day in Brussels. There was no window...

The ghost train
Train problems The time in the bus while we were driving from Normandy to Paris was horribly long. After an hour there was no hope left that we would be able to catch the last train to Amiens that we had found in the internet, so we just lay down and slept. Because it...

Mont Saint-Michel - The Disneycastle of Normandy

Etretat - the beauty of nature After Giverny the bus tour continued to Etretat, an amazing place in the Normandy. It' s a small village next to the sea, with small shops, cafés and a lot of tourists. Why? Because of the famous rock formation right next to the beach...

New beginnings and adventures in Normandy
How jealousy can destroy relationships The situation with my boyfriend escalated more and more as he became incredibly jealous and I simply didn't want to deal with that anymore. I was confused, didn't know what to do and just needed time to think about all that. In...

Studying, thinking, the second exam
Focusing on University The following week I didn't have a lot to do except studying and going to lectures, because my friend wasn't there and I didn't always want to join the others for partying as I am not the big nightlife fan. I did some sports and tried to cook...

To Paris by car and even more exams..
Being a good student After my first exam in France there was not much time to relax because only 2 weeks later there would be the next one. It was the other lecture I had on Monday, so after March I would never need to go to university on a Monday. But before I had to...
