Great Britain by train

FÜR DEN WETTBEWERB BIS ZUM ENDE WEITERLESEN... ;-) Da auch diesmal die Busfahrt wieder ziemlich anstrengend und auch die Nacht nur mässig erholsam war musste ich zuerst etwas...

In the early morning, the bus departed from Victoria Station to Brussels. It's insane that you can cover the distance to Greenwich in just over 30 minutes underground, but it...

There is not much new to report today, I have prepared my luggage for the return journey with the flixbus, as the departure tomorrow will be relatively early. After that was...

Today I walked more than any other day of my whole trip, at least that's what my pedometer says :-) Since I didn't know exactly what the program for today would look like in the...

My program today was simple, yet exhausting. I started with a coffee in Inverness, followed by a 3 hours and 43 minutes train ride to Edinburgh. I had another coffee there and...

My today's plan was originally as follows: Rent a bike and drive to Loch Ness, not because it's famous, but because it's the nearest lake. Unfortunately, the weather forecast...

Today, another 3.5 hours of train journey was in store. This time, we continued to Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands, on the Turbostar. However, the train did not...

Today, I explored Edinburgh for a day. The city is big, but there is a lot to see in the center in a small area. After arriving at Waverly Station, I first climbed Calton Hill...

Yesterday, when I arrived, Glasgow was pretty deserted, but today, during my hike through the city, it looked completely different. There is a lot going on in the city, but...

In Dublin I actually got a few drops of rain for the first time since mid-June, but after 3 minutes it was over ;-) Otherwise, today was a long journey, first 2.5 hours on the...

Since I found out yesterday that some acquaintances are in Dublin, I spontaneously took the train to Holyhead in Wales today and then took the ferry to Dublin. Although I didn't...

It was a bit cloudy in Manchester today, with a high chance of rain, which didn't happen, while it was sunny and hot all day in Liverpool. A welcome change to have a little less...

Today, I spontaneously decided to visit the Casbah Coffee Club. I walked for 1.5 hours to get there, but it was definitely worth it. The Casbah Coffee Club was the first rock...

Well, what can I say, Liverpool has a lot more to offer for my taste than I can see in a few days. But since I chose Liverpool mainly because of the Beatles, it was the first...

Another move is behind me. Since I don't have enough travel days to visit all the cities, I had to choose between Liverpool and Manchester. However, since the two cities are...

This time, I didn't feel like hand washing, so I walked to a laundromat, which was much faster and the clothes were dry again. The oppressive heat here in Birmingham makes it a...

After the victory of the English in yesterday's round of 16, the whole city was completely out of control :-) Since there are not many English people in the hostel, but more...

After a train journey of nearly two hours, I have arrived in Birmingham. At first glance, Birmingham reminds me a little of London, which is not surprising as it is one of the...

Yesterday, some locals recommended that I visit the neighborhoods of Clifton and Stokes Croft because these two areas best showcase the differences in the city. I followed this...

Of course, besides street art, I also looked at other things, some background information about Edward Teach's (Black Beard) early years before he became a notorious pirate was...

Today was a busy day because the main reasons for choosing Bristol were Banksy and many other street artists, and Bristol is also the hometown of Edward Teach, better known as...

Upon arrival in Bristol, I already discovered some beautiful places on the way to the hostel, such as St Mary Redcliffe Church and Queen Square Park. This time, my hostel is...

Weil ich nach dem Auschecken noch etwas Zeit bis zur geplanten Abreise hatte bin ich noch ein letztes mal in den nahegelegenen Park gegangen um dort noch etwas gemütlich die...

The planning of my onward journey took me some time today, as I have plenty of options here in Exeter for my next destination. But I will only reveal that tomorrow. Since today...

Today was a slightly less exhausting day, first we went to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, it's worth mentioning here in Exeter all museums are free. The museum was very...

After loosening up my somewhat tense calves today, there was a packed itinerary. First, I visited the terrace of the student dormitory where I am staying, which offers a...

My campsite on Pupers Hill was only just over 2 km from the edge of the moorland. Stupid imperial units, the hiking app always gives me everything in miles, without the option...

In the morning, there was a cup of coffee and a British 'All Day Breakfast' from the can. I started quite early to avoid the heat, without shade it was a bit difficult... Along...

After checking out of my accommodation, the plan was to first go to the train station in Plymouth and take the train to Ivybridge, which is right on Dartmoor. But since this...

Today I got some supplies and took it easy to prepare for the next few days. But I still went to the Royal Citadel briefly to visit it. The Royal Citadel is a massive fortress...
