  • A special day trip to Stuttgart

    A special day trip to Stuttgart

    The mighty Deutschland is my new country of temporary residence. This is perhaps not too surprising considering its geographical position and proximity to Switzerland. So I’ve arrived in a town called Karlschule and it is here I will stay for a couple of nights. Originally I had planned on staying in Stuttgart but a shortage of availability in […]

  • A weekend base in Lausanne…

    A weekend base in Lausanne…

    My tally for total days spent in Switzerland is approaching one week – and what a great week it’s been.

    I’m in Feldkirch for the night but…

    Where the heck is Feldkirch!? Well, it’s actually in Austria and seriously close to Lichtenstein but probably like you, I too had never heard of Feldkirch until very, very recently. So this morning I departed the Burger King-managed hostel I had stayed at in Bertesgaden for the last few nights. In fact, last night I was treated […]
