B&B – A weekend in the west

Last weekend we were on our second long weekend holiday. This time we had chosen Bristol and Bath as destinations. We left on the Saturday morning and took the bus from Victoria Coach Station, spent the Saturday in Bristol, went to Bath for the Sunday and returned for Saturday night and Monday morning before we took…

B&B – A weekend in the west

For the Spring Bank Holiday weekend the Australian and me travelled to Bristol and Bath. Both lovely cities helding some surprises for us.

Preparing for the wrench and another visitor

It is end of May and that means that I don’t have much time left until I have to leave London, my friends here and my lovely hostfamily. As they are already searching a new Au Pair to replace me it slowly occured to me that my time here is nearly over. Originally I would…

Coming and going

It started a time of welcomes and farewells. Two weeks ago a friend back from school visited London and on the last weekend my parents and a friend of them spent some days with us.

“Skifoaaaaaarn” and “Osterhasi”

Return, Reunion, Recovering

I already made the experience several times, that if I live in a city I hardly know anything about it. When I lived in Budapest for a year I visited the sights in the end with my parents, and last year in Munich I didn’t see any important monuments at all. And in London exactly…
