When talking to dad about my trip, he said that while I was in Vienna, I should go and see the Hundertwasserhaus. When I told Max that my next stop after Münich would be Vienna, he also said that Hundertwasserhaus was worth a visit. When two persons with such good taste tell me to goContinue reading “Day 18: Kunsthaus Wien and Hundertwasserhaus”

The Botanic Garden of Vienna is literally just next door to the Belvedere garden. But here, the plants and trees have been allowed to grow more freely. Almost too freely. The entrance to the garden is free and the garden almost feels like a place that has been left to take care of itself. ThereContinue reading “Day 18: The Botanic Garden of Vienna”

Mr. P, resting on the foot of a sphinx. For some reason, all other tourists wanted to be photographed holding one of the sphinx’s breasts. They are even grey, the breasts, from all the touching. A pretty tasteless tourist tradition, in Mr. P’s opinion.

When I was a kid, I remember us having a painting of a woman being kissed, all dressed in gold and flowers, on our wall. I loved that painting, it was so mysterious. It must have gotten lost during a move or something, because it disappeared before my teens, way before I was old enoughContinue reading “Day 18: Belvedere”

So maybe my short visit to Vienna happened at a very unfortunate time during my trip. I had just spent three amazing days in Münich, hanging out with wonderful people, and didn’t quite want to leave. And then I arrived in Vienna, it was way warmer than in Münich, the cars were everywhere and IContinue reading “Day 18: In search for zebra crossings”

I’m in Copenhagen, staying with Markus, an old friend from the Tanzania days (yet again this Facebook thing – before Friday, I hadn’t met Markus for twelve years, but now here I am in Copenhagen and everything is going great). And I really really want to go out and explore this city – but IContinue reading “UPDATE: Exhaustion in Copenhagen”

So, the hostel where I’m staying in Bratislava was just robbed. Which means, I’ve lost my phone. It was in my bag, charging. Luckily, all my other valuables were safely locked in my locker. This means, however, that I have no phone and that I will have to go to the police tomorrow to makeContinue reading “UPDATE 2: The robbery”

Things just keep happening. This evening, I arrived in Bratislava. It’s only going to be a quick visit, since my Interrail ticket is about to expire. Tomorrow, I leave for Prague. In Belgrade, I went to my first bachelorette party. I had time to experience the complications of traveling together with two best friends. IContinue reading “UPDATE: At the backpacker’s hostel in Bratislava”

The weather in Munich had been decent, but pretty cold for being in the middle of summer. Naturally, I dressed accordingly on the morning I left for Vienna. Well, as soon as I stepped off the train, I realised how unfitting my attire was. Vienna was hot and it was sunny and after locking upContinue reading “Day 17: Hot afternoon in Vienna”

Céline met Jesse on a train to Vienna, and they spent an evening and a night in the city together, before both had to catch different trains to different destinations in their very separate lives. A train ride, the start of one of the most intriguing movie screen love stories of all time. In myContinue reading “Day 17: Report from a train II”
