DESSAU | Technikmuseum Hugo Junkers Engineering Museum
October 2024. During a week-long whistle-stop tour of Germany, we visit Dessau-Roßlau in Saxony-Anhalt, Weimar in Thuringia, Coburg in Upper Franconia (Bavaria) and Kassel in Hesse. Smaller cities, yes. But each with their own significance. Untouched by overtourism. We’re avoiding using the white trains of DB Fernverkehr, Deutsche Bahn‘s long-distance section and opt to use…

Until 26 January 2025, you can visit the ‘Klimt The Immersive Experience‘ – uhm – experience at DIVE, Digital & Interactive Venue in Antwerp. Yesterday, a wet and dreary January Sunday, Thanh and I went to experience Gustav Klimt.

Along the way some night trains and commuter trains, the Niagara Falls and – imagine this – a bus journey. A true…
REYKJAVÍK | The Icelandic Phallological Museum
Iceland in November and December? Really? I saw an Icelandair promotion on Instagram which I couldn’t resist. The catch? It had to be late November to the start of December 2022. But I could – easily – enthuse Oriol to come along for a road trip in the South and West of Iceland.
Our travels in the United States
4th of July. Independence Day in the United States of America. The last time I was in the United States was in 2019, visiting my uncle. Danny‘s last time was in 2017, when he visited New York and Washington, DC with Ivan in 2017. In 2016, we travelled across America by train. That all feels…
