Now this wonderful journey comes to an end. We were very pleased that you read our posts so diligently and reacted to them. Hopefully, you enjoyed our little adventure. Almost...

To conclude, one last lovely café in Vienna. With the sultry weather, a small meal and then departure to Augsburg.

We were the first visitors today at the Albertina! 😂 The wonderful graphics by Dürer, Da Vinci, and their contemporaries were impressive, as was the special exhibition on...

After nearly five hours sitting in 32 degrees, sweating, tiredly staring, and equipped with oddly tasting water that we then refused, we arrived somewhat dehydrated in Budapest....

The heat is hardly bearable. We stood at the Lökäshaza train station for an hour before moving on. But we are holding on - our destination today is Vienna. It is said to be a...

The buildings in Arad are designed with an overwhelming imagination that is unknown to me so far, featuring structures with turrets and facade stucco adorned with heads,...

We have found that jungle aesthetics are all the rage. In almost every city, mosses and hanging plants create the ambiance in restaurants and accommodations. About 90% of it is...

After 37 degrees, train damage, evacuation, the recovery phase followed with a visit to the hotel pool and with the cocktail 'Sex on the Beach' as the start to dinner. The...

We actually made it and arrived in Arad. Hooray! For all the hassles and sweat, we were rewarded with a really nice hotel. First, it's time to cool off and recover in the hotel...

Yesterday it was just bearable, today we were evacuated. The locomotive was overheating. We had to climb down from the train with our bags about 1.50 m onto the track bed. With...

Just arrived in Dobreta Turnu Severin on the Danube. From here, you can look over to Serbia. Before that, we drove through the Western Carpathians.

You know why? Today we're going to Arad! After the last riddle went unanswered, here is the solution: The third name under the red stop name was 'Zentralna Gara', meaning main...

We are back in Craiova. The city we wanted to give a second chance. Indeed, we discovered a historic center and a university. However, it is still not enough to bestow this...

Long day from Sofia to Craiova at 32 degrees. The air conditioning kept malfunctioning. Just before the destination, the engine seemed to be overheating. However, the train...

It's not so easy to look out of the train when you board the graffiti-covered one. But we have the insight! 😃

Good morning. We set off for Craiova today around 6 a.m. First, we took tram 27 to Sofia Sever, arriving there well ahead of time. The train departed at 7:05 a.m.

On the way back, we made another stop on the outskirts of Sofia. There stands a small church from the 11th or 13th century, which is of course decorated with frescoes. What is...

After a very pleasant bus ride with seats right at the front, arrival at the monastery of Saint Ivan in the Rila Mountains. Wow! We let the pictures speak for themselves.

Riddle: Which tram can we take to Sofia Central Station? And how many stops are there to get there?

Today's day trip to the Rila Monastery. 130 km from Sofia. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. This time, we will travel in a classic tourist bus, with coffee and bathroom...

In hindsight, I regret this: We did not do a city tour on the topic of Socialist Realism. It would have been a must. But well, one has to save something for next time. For you,...

In Sofia, we have a nice apartment with a small balcony, within walking distance to the train station. On the way to the city, we made a stop at a small café. In the evening, we...

First stop Sofia. We will visit the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. A very impressive church, high ceiling, full of frescoes with saints, icons, and huge brass chandeliers. Then we...

What do you think Anja is whispering into Milyo's ear, the original Plovdivian? What do you think? She wants to return to Plovdiv once again. She wants to fence not only with...

The European Championship is now over. Even though we could have performed better, we still had a great time. The last evening in the beloved neighborhood of Kapana. We are...

Today is the last day of the European Championship, and we can finally start the V50 in women's foil. In the preliminary round, I achieved 2 victories; that was all I could...

In the hotel breakfast room, only fencers are sitting. The Polish team is obviously in a good mood, as they are also wearing funny T-shirts. It's their turn today. Anja's turn...

To wind down the day, we had a lovely meal in the Kapana neighborhood again, together with Harald and Margret.

Well, what can one write when they haven't achieved a good placement? 😪 Then you say that the preliminary round group with a total of 6 fencers was very strong. Yes, it was....

Today we went on a city tour. Meeting point in front of the town hall. There, the mayor greeted us with a handshake. Mutual surprise: Why are there more people in the visit and...
