2022-Jul-07 Toady was Jen’s last day of meetings, which meant that Dave was on his own again. Jen was able to get to the university by funicular, which went by our hotel and up the hill. Dave’s day started with a wander around the old town. Having seen a few old towns now, this one…

2022-Jul-06 With Jen in meetings for the day, Dave was off on his own again to explore a new city. With only a day to experience Copenhagen, Dave decided it would be best to just wander and explore. Starting at the airport bag drop, and with a lot of ground to cover, Dave got a…

Today we headed for Leicester Square station, to check out the theatre district, Covent Garden, and Chinatown. While wandering we found a Chinese bakery that was too tempting to resist, and that became lunch. Dessert was bubble tea from Jen Cafe. After lunch we headed to the British Museum.

We ended up sleeping in after the long day yesterday, then taking a slow start. Finally, we made it to Vauxhall and then on board an Uber Boat, which runs up and down the Thames. We took a great, surprisingly quick, trip to Greenwich. After some rustic pizza, we set off exploring. We walked around…

Today was our last day in Munich, and an exciting one – we were going to a Michelin-listed restaurant. Beforehand, we also went to the Königsplatz and looked at the antiquities and sculpture museums.
