Mannheim

August 18, 2021

Maxime got off of work early so we hopped on a tram to take a train into Mannheim. First we went to the University of Mannheim, which used to be a castle! Then we went to the more urban area and went into tkmaxx and other department stores to smell candles and feel blankets. 

University of Mannheim


Mannheim Jesuit Church



Then we headed to the water tower there and walked around for a while. It was a beautiful park!






Heilig Geist Church

On the way back we saw a gorgeous church and then went to a park on the Rhine before going back to Heidelberg.


Leave music suggestions in the comments or text me songs!! I walk an average of 4 hours a day and need new music haha

Athens, Greece!!!

September 10, 2021 The day started out like any other...I drank about 6 cups of coffee. Just kidding, I actually did drink the 6 cups of coffee but that is not the norm for me. However, I was extremely productive haha. The explanation? Hostels in Frankfurt for tonight were too expensive, so Lauren and I decided to take a midnight train from Koblenz to Frankfurt for our 6 am flight. So we hopped on a bus to Koblenz. September 11, 2021 We got on our midnight train to Frankfurt (while on board may or may not have booked a flight and hostel for Milan), tried to find our way to the other terminal for a good 30 minutes, went through security, and sat at our gate for 3 hours. We got a pretzel for breakfast before boarding. Although we were at the front of the non-priority line, we were not aware of an entry form that had to be filled out for Greece and had to race against the clock to finish it before they closed the gate. Then we flew for 2 hours and 45 minutes to Athens!! And of course, lis...

Warsaw, Poland!!

October 6, 2021 *during a 3 hour lecture* Lauren: what are you doing from Sunday to Wednesday? Me: nothing Lauren: we should go somewhere Me: ok *an hour and a half later the flight gets booked* October 10, 2021 You know the drill, we took a bus to Koblenz, a train to the Cologne airport, and a plane to Warsaw. While in the Cologne airport, we stopped at the grocery store to get some pre-flight pretzel croissants and paired it with some ham that I had brought from home haha. Then we went to find our gate and quickly got through security. For the first time, we actually had a flight during the day!! Landing at 4pm?? Seeing the city and trying to figure out how to get from the airport to our hostel (bus, train, then 30 minute walk) in daylight?? That's a new concept for us!  On our way to the hostel we walked by the Palace of Culture and Science and were getting hungry so stopped in McDonald's to see the Polish menu and grab a quick snack. We got potatoes with cream sauce and a L...

Heidelberg - Part 2

Image
August 17, 2021 My journey started around 9 am and I set off to Philosophenweg, which is a huge park on a mountain. I walked through a beautiful neighborhood to get there. There are tons of different paths that you can go on once you're at the park, one of which leads to a tower to get an even higher view of the city.  10/10 would recommend the hike for the views, 0/10 would recommend wearing sandals and jeans while doing so. The scenery is definitely worth it, iPhone camera quality is just not cuttin it. After the watch tower, I headed down the mountain a different way to see the historic bridge and walked around for a while until I put my next destination into Google Maps. My next destination, however, was back up the same mountain I had just come down. So I trekked back up. If Heidelberg Thingstätte is on your itinerary, make sure you keep google maps pulled up the whole time. It kept getting confused about where I was and telling me I was on the wrong path. When in doubt, stay ...
