Dinner by the Vltava, Prague

After a long journey from Berlin to Prague, we were glad to surface from the train carriage in to the basking sun light of the Czech capital. 

We hopped on to a tram towards our hostel, Plus Prague. We were very impressed with the hostel, the friendly staff and spacious rooms made us feel welcome, and after showering and a browse around we headed in to the city centre.

For The Love of Hummus

Hummus is one of those foods I don't think I could live without. The type of food that if I were stuck on a deserted island I would crave, long for and cry myself to sleep thinking about. Okay, I may be slightly over exaggerating, but you get the idea.

Despite this enormous love, I have never made my own. Until today. Molly and I decided to have a go, and I don't think we will ever look back!

We followed this BBC recipe roughly.

East Side Gallery


As mentioned in my previous post, we visited the East Side Gallery, an exhibition of some of the most famous street art work in Germany, and possibly the world.

I think the art speaks for itself, so this is a rather photo heavy post, with lots of snaps of mine and my travel buddies favourite pieces of street art. 


Sandemans Walking Tour, Berlin


After a not brilliant night sleep, we awakened weary but excited to explore Berlin. 
Last time when Molly and I visited Berlin we discovered the Sandemans New Europe walking tour company. We found the company brilliant, with friendly and informative guides who were animated and possibly more excited than the tourists about sharing the cities which they live in. The tours are in English, but are also offered in Spanish!


We headed for the U-bahn line to the Brandenburg Gate and waited for the tour to begin, quietly surveying the cloudy sky and praying the heavens didn't open. They did.

Kebap's in Beerlin




After a tough year at University, I, along with three of the greatest people, departed the UK for a fortnight of frolicking around Europe.

Molly, James, Huw and I embarked on an interrail adventure, starting in Berlin, Germany. We boarded our Ryan Air flight from Stanstead to Berlin, arriving in to a calm and crisp German evening.
