On French Riviera, there are numerous little villages directly on the coast. I have explored some of these in the past few days. Continue reading Villages on the sea

Allô, c’est Monaco
So far, I have not visited that much of France on my France vacation: After reaching France the day before, I left the country again today: I went on a day trip to Monaco. Continue reading Allô, c’est Monaco

Is it fun, a day in Milan?
Anyone who has followed my recent travels will not be surprised that my vacation on the French Riviera begins in Milan: Currently, there is simply no way to get any closer using an ÖBB night train. So, I took this opportunity to get a small taste of this Italian fashion capital. Continue reading Is it fun, a day in Milan?

Stockholm (also) by bike
In (early) summer, Stockholm presents itself quite differently than in (late) winter eleven years ago: While the wind can still be (relatively) fresh, it is still no comparison to the icy-grey Stockholm I experienced back then. Continue reading Stockholm (also) by bike

Short hop to Sweden
From Copenhagen, it is not far to Sweden: A quick hop over the Øresund Bridge, and you are there. The first major city you come across is Malmö – and that is the one I visited today. Continue reading Short hop to Sweden

Copenhagen without a bike
My first longer stop on my Lofoten trip was Copenhagen, where I spent the last two and a half days. I saw quite a bit of (the center of) the Danish capital – even without a bike. Continue reading Copenhagen without a bike

Rainy Hamburg
Following my day trip to Lübeck, I had a few hours (in the evening and early morning) in Hamburg. It was just like my first visit 32 years ago: rather rainy. Continue reading Rainy Hamburg

Visiting the Hanseatic League
Last night, I started my journey to Lofoten (if you will). To get there, however, I am taking the train – with several stops along the way. I spent the first night in Hamburg, from where I took a day trip to Lübeck. Continue reading Visiting the Hanseatic League

Frankfurt on the way home
Deutsche Bahn managed the feat of delaying my train connection already before my departure: Due to a diversion, the duration of my journey from Brussels to Frankfurt am Main was extended by an hour. So, I suddenly had a negative transfer time. Therefore, I had to leave Brussels two hours earlier. At least, this then gave me about an hour and a half to stroll through Frankfurt (despite the apparently obligatory delay). Continue reading Frankfurt on the way home

Devoxx UK 2025
As I already did two years ago, I once again attended the Devoxx UK, a software developer conference. Afterwards, I had a (short) day for some tourist activities. This time, these took me directly to the British center of power. Continue reading Devoxx UK 2025
