Hometown Tourist

Day: 319 Markus, intent on making sure I hit every important spot in the region, had us out early to find some local culture and history. Starting with his local farmers market, followed by a castle and the old town of Tubingen; I was exhausted by the time we were drinking coffee, eating Black Forest [...]

Bierfleisch

Day: 315  Well, I thought, I like beer, and I like flesh, so why not order something named bierfleisch? After a day of doing chores, sleeping in, napping, taking pictures and trying to plan my next Bavarian move, I had decided to treat myself to a nicer dinner. This is exactly what Aaron was trying [...]

Alone Again

Day: 314 I heard his alarm go off…. Damn 3:30am already. I had told my brother I would walk with him down to the train station to see him off on what I had been grooming him for all week. Solo travel. Aaron’s mission was to somehow manage to get from Salzburg, Austria, transfer trains [...]

PROST! (Again!)

Day: 309

Drunk Cycling

Day: 308 With excessive amounts of drinking planned, I haven’t been carrying my camera with me into the festival yesterday or today.  So my apologizes for the sub-par pictures.  Have hope though! Tomorrow I am going for a beer-free (ok, maybe one) day just to take a bunch of pictures.  So tomorrow will most likely [...]

I Get Kidnapped

Day: 192 First things first, I need to find a new hostel. I quickly pack my bag, pay my bill and wander to the number two listing in Lonely Planet (hoping they don´t make two bad recommendations on the same page). Walking through the door to the Terra Oculta hostel, I am immediately glad I [...]
