I feel a little ridiculous writing about visiting Garmisch-Partenkirchen for the third time in less than a year, but when you find a good thing and new things to do every time, then it is worth a quick post to write about the amazing things to do in the area. I won’t go into the … More Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the summer
I had read on one of the food lovers pages on Facebook that there was an amazing Italian restaurant in downtown Kaiserslautern, owned by a German family that were extremely friendly. I had always wanted to go there, but it always seemed so inconvenient venturing into Kaiserslautern. We have just become lazy, preferring to visit … More Cardinale bei Skendo – Kaiserslautern, Germany
If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you may recall that only a few months ago we went to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. That was never the plan.

We enjoyed our time there so much though … More Garmisch-Partenkirchen (II) , Ski school , Dachau Concentration Camp – Germany

Berlin wasn’t planned until about 2 weeks before New Years. It wasn’t until then that … More Germany, Berlin – Bringing in the New Year!
The Christmas market day trip started with a post that my friend, Melannie, posted on her Facebook page – “Any of my friends in Germany want to join in on this trip to famous Christmas markets on the 22nd of Dec?” Umm, yes. Of course! Keila (who I went to Paris with) also was in, … More Germany – Nürnberg & Rothenburg ob der Tauber Christmas markets
Yet again, I’m very behind with this blog. It’s a good thing that I have the memory of an elephant; otherwise some important moments could be lost and forgotten forever. Heidelberg We had some downtime one afternoon, so we decided to go for a day trip to Heidelberg. It’s about an hour and a half … More Germany – Heidelberg day trip, Kiwis come to town, Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt
