At the end of my stay in Montenegro, I returned once more to Kotor, which I really enjoyed already during my previous visit the year before. Continue reading Back to the Fjord of the South

Europe’s Least Interesting Capital
My guide book does not really promote the Montenegrin capital very well. However, as I passed through for the third time, I decided it was time for a short stroll through the city. So, I spent just over two hours exploring Podgorica. Continue reading Europe’s Least Interesting Capital
14 Hours in Belgrade
Just 14 hours are not very much for exploring Belgrade. However, I did not have more time as my night train from Vienna did not arrive until after 8.00 a.m., and my next night train (to Montenegro) already left at 10.10 p.m. Still, I had enough time to get a first impression of the city.

Am I in Russia?

Manhattan Revisited
Even though I tried to focus on Brooklyn during this visit, I could not resist spending some time in Manhattan as well. During my time there, I revisited some sights, where I have already been before (e.g. Central Park or my favourite museum, the AMNH), but I have also managed to include some "firsts" into my itinerary. Continue reading Manhattan Revisited
Brooklyn Discovered
Even though I have lived in Brooklyn for four months (during my study abroad), I have not yet visited much of its sights. As my friend whom I visited this time also lives in Brooklyn, I took the opportunity to catch up on tourist sights in this borough. Continue reading Brooklyn Discovered
