Went down to Oktoberfest at the beginning of the month and met up with Hugo again. Was there for exactly 24 hours before I had to get on a train to heading back to Köln which did end up taking me just shy of 11 hours. FML.










I made 18 on the 6th of this month, and was quite a chilled day. 
The lock below was present from Holly. It's tradition in this city, the the main bridge, to go the bridge with your lover/partner, with a lock with your names on, padlock it to the bridge, and then throw the keys in the river together. Ever since we arrived here 8 months ago we've always said one day we'd do one as friends, but it never happened until then. I love it. AND it's in the very centre of the bridge.














I spent the whole Autumn Holidays travelling with Holly and her parents and honestly had the most amazing time. I could spend hours writing about it but will try and sum it up!  We started by flying from Düssledorf to Edinburgh (Scotland) where we spent a few days. From there, with our rental car we drove up to Loch Ness, where we swam in the lake then spent a night. From Loch Ness we drove down to Glasgow, we we spent  night just outside the city, then the next morning headed down to the top of England and stayed in the English lakes. From there we drove to Liverpool for a night, explored the city a little, then the next day drove further south to friends of Holly's parents, where we stayed for two nights before heading down to London, via Bath and Stonehenge. After three days in London, and a freeeezzzing but dope time in the London Ice Bar, we flew to Krakow, Poland. Where we stayed for the following three nights. Highlight of this leg of the trip was definitely the Auschwitz Concentration Camp(s) that we spent a day with a tour guide visiting. It was a really eery place.. as one would imagine. After three days in Poland we flew into Munich, in the south of germany, then rented a new Audi A6 and spent the next two days fanging it up the autobahn back to Köln, via the Neuschwanstein Castle, and the Black Forest. I can't upload heaps of photos, because it would take forever, but will try and sum up what I can! Most of the photos are on facebook though.


The photos follow the same timeline so shouldn't be too hard to keep up!

























The time I had away was so dope! the best holidays.

I'm out. Later
