What I never liked about the Deutsche Bahn is, that their electronic ticket system is not flexible enough for stopovers.

Short trip to Kiel

16. September 200825. October 2021 Mia Jaap 0 Comments kiel

No, this was not a sight-seeing trip (and honestly Kiel has not that much to offer outside the Kieler Woche in my opinion) – this was all business. One thing I noticed was that the “other” side of Kiel underwent development after my last trip to Kiel.

Aachen

8. September 200818. October 2021 Mia Jaap 0 Comments aachen

The first day was devoted entirely to Aachen. The main sight is of course the Aachen Cathedral. The city hall is also quite nice and everything can be reached on foot once you’re in the old part of town (Altstadt).

Celle

Celle may not be your first choice for a day trip but because I’ve been to almost every small town within regional train reach from Hamburg, today it was time for this small town in Lower-Saxony.

Oldenburg

Oldenburg is situated between Emden and Bremen. I had already decided earlier that this would be a day trip with two cities so I made a stop at Oldenburg and explored this town a bit.

Emden

Today’s destination was a small German town in the west: Emden. So I packed in my video camera, photo camera and GPS watch and took the regional train to Emden.

Wismar

Wismar was a member of the once powerful trade organisation Hanse. It is a small and compact town and once you arrive at the train station you are basically already in the central part.

Berlin – Garden of Sand

This is my sixth visit to Berlin and today it was primarily to show my mom the Erholungspark Marzahn (Marzahn recreational park) which I visited when I was staying in the capital for two days.

Berlin. Again. Sigh.

Some people say it’s crazy to visit Berlin via regional express trains, others just smile (like my Japanese teacher).
