Český Krumlov without canoe
I would have loved to explore the Vltava River bends near Český Krumlov by canoe, but the weather (at least to my liking) did not cooperate. Therefore, I limited myself to exploring on foot. That made it easier to plan around the rain showers. Continue reading Český Krumlov without canoe

From Lofoten to Vesterålen without hurry
Today I said goodbye to the Lofoten Islands. My next destination are the Vesterålen Islands, an archipelago a little further to the north(east). Since it was supposed to rain on and off all day, I extended the drive from about three hours to a whole day. This also gave me the opportunity to visit the Hurtigruten Museum in Stockmarknes.

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

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

Chilly in Bruges
The last stop of my short excursion through Benelux was the Belgian city of Bruges. Unfortunately, a cold snap made exploring the city a bit more chilly than expected. However, I still ventured outside, but also visited a few museums (for warming up in between). Continue reading Chilly in Bruges
