My Travels Around The World
May 2014
Day 3: Paris, Part 1
We left Cologne early, had a 6:44am train ride to Paris. Dan bought these tickets a long time ago, early enough to get great rates [...]
Day 2: Bonn
Dan slept much better last night, 7 hours; I slept about 6 hours and woke up naturally around 6am. So for now I'd say we're [...]
Day 1: Cologne
I slept for 6.5 hours, waking up about 5:30am local time. That's pretty normal for me in terms of length and time up; although here [...]
Departure: Tuesday – Wednesday
The actual traveling part of traveling is pretty boring. How exciting can 12 hours in a plane be? Well, I guess it could be pretty [...]

Home on Saturday, 4/6/2013; Epilogue

Day 18: Brussels (Friday, April 5, 2013)
So I ended this trip the way I started it: exploring a foreign city by myself. Dan had to go back to Gent for an [...]

The hotel owner in Bruges (Paul - we found his place on PurpleRoofs.com, too) honored our request for an early breakfast and we left at [...]

Day 13: Amsterdam, Part 4 (Sunday, April 1, 2013)
We are still in "take it easy" mode. That's allowed on vacation, right? It was nearly 10 by the time we decided to get up [...]
Day 12: Haarlem – Saturday, March 30, 2013
Another light-ish day. I think we're both feeling the pace a little bit. Not that I'm complaining! We come home a week from today and [...]
Day 11: Amsterdam, Part 3 (Friday, March 29, 2013)
We were both so tired last night from a week or more of 7 miles a day on foot on average we decided to take [...]
Day 10: The Hague (Den Haag), Thursday March 28
The Hague is the 3rd largest city in Netherlands, about 37 miles southeast of Amsterdam on the North Sea. It is home to the International [...]
