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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

Happy times with my boyfriend After my trip to Brussels and my trip to Paris I had one week at Amiens until I would go to London for five days. I had planned all those trips before I fell in love with my boyfriend and now I regretted a bit that I have to know everything...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

Couples experience - Going to a wildcat park The day after my exam my boyfriend sent me a link in Facebook and told me to have a look at that. It was a Groupon offer for cheaper entrance into some kind of zoo. It was a park with wild cats like lions and leopards etc. in...

Trip to Germany for 3 days After that wonderful weekend with my boyfriend it was already time to say goodbye again. I wasn't returning home yet, but I wanted to visit a friend of mine who is living next to Cologne, in the small city Moers. I got to know her around 2009...

Discovering Amiens - Maison Jules Verne
Bucket List for the last days Back to Amiens my last days were mainly reserved for my boyfriend. But as he had more and more work to do in order to finish his doctor thesis, he had to work for a large part of the day. Furthermore he wasn’t too interested in visiting...

Stairway to heaven - on top of the Cathedral
Washing Workout So the next day I met my German friend again on the large square right in front of the cathedral and I hoped that this time it would work out and we could go up there. I hadn’t been very productive the hours before – I had slept in, cleaned my room a...

The Last Week in France Part II
The time during my last week was running much too fast - I was not sure if I was already willing to say goodbye to my French life, but I had no choice. I had already filled in the form to leave the apartment in my residency and told everyone in Germany that I would...
