And indeed, when strolling through Regensburg, you encounter evidence of the city’s magnificent history every step of the way. Regensburg is a city in eastern Bavaria, […]
A girl who spent most of her life next to the border with Slovenia, it is hard to explain what this country is about. To me, the country of Slovenia was a place to do the shopping, the place where people speak my dialect but not my official language, a country that always complicates the […]

There is a post on my blog already dedicated to Flemish cities of Belgium . But I have decided that this city deserves one single post for itself.

Visiting the Burg Eltz it was inevitable to stroll down the hills of Ā Rhineland-Palatinate and explore. To be honest, the navigation was not up to date as bringing us to the closed local roads or reserved only for the local agricultural vehicles.

Guess what’s new? – Corona. Guess how long it will last? – China. Never mind. The travel ban is still on for Belgium, so explorations within the country continues. This weekend was reserved for Tournai. A beautiful city on the west of Belgium. Kinda looks like Lille at the first sight. Ā Although, being part of […]
Two days reserved for doing this route š My travel soul was reaching its immortal stage. Let me show you which route we took: Our very first wine cellar was the winery Turckheim.

Some rain, more rain and some more more rain and the hail one afternoon in Siena. O sole mio, dov’e sei? Otherwise, lots of fun, good food, chianti, lots of art and medieval history š So besides the sun that I haven’t found, Tuscany is best known for its rolling hills, which are populated by […]
