Déjeuner à Bruxelles, diner à Paris...

semi-overcast 20 °C

...C'est possible avec le TGV!
The returning trip has now begun... An early train has given me the opportunity to spend a couple of hours in Paris, in the evening, so I took advantage of that and decided to visit la Tour Effeil, l'Arc du Triomphe et la Notre-Dame. I've been in Paris a few times but most of them just crossing the city to get somewhere else. In fact, I haven't been in Paris FOR REAL for something like 17 years! And it's one of my favourite cities... Paris is Paris, there are no words to describe it!
I guess this is time to say goodbye... And start thinking about the next trip! I'll miss carrying the backpacker on my back, I'll miss hearing foreign languages, I'll miss hopping on and off the trains, but mostly, I'll miss the incredible feeling of being in voyage!

Saying goodbye

overcast 18 °C

Of all countries I've been in, I would never thought that I would only be wearing a shirt in the end of October in BELGIUM! A friend of mine told me to bring some coats because it would be cold, it might even snow! What a deception...
Apart of that, these last days here in Belgium have been amazing. I've visited Brugge and Gent and loved them! Today I went to Atomium, Mini-Europe and visited René Magritte museum. Tomorrow I have still some more places I wanna go, including the Comic Strip Museum!
Tomorrow night, unfortunately, it's time to start the return trip - Brussels-Paris, for a start.

@ Brussels

sunny 18 °C

Breathtaking landscape at the Luxemburg City. My hostel was located underneath the train bridge, on the valley, and it was amazing! The train trip between Trier (German border) until the Luxembourg City is absolutely fantastic, having the Mosel river just next to the railway.
Arrival at Bruxelles with 1 h half delay, but the views were also a must.
Next days are going to be spent around the capital and the surroundings, not only because Belgium is a small country and trips between main cities don't take longer than 1 h half, but also because I've bought some books and my bag keeps getting heavier every day...

Going North

semi-overcast 6 °C

After these last days in Berlin, it was time to say goodbye. Well, not goodbye... I'm sure I'm gonna be back sooner than I expect! The Jewish Museum, the Berlin Wall, the German Democratic Republic Museum, Brandenburg doors... In Berlin there are open air exhibitions everywhere, even in the subway! It's going to take a lot of time to digest so much information. The worst part is that I still have a week backpacking but I've already bought 4 books - they were an excellent opportunity, trust me!
I came to Bremen this morning and besides the nice train trip, it's a wonderful village, with an interesting medieval old center!
The sun shines every once in a while but for the first time I can feel the cold wind blowing from the North Sea!

Ich bin ein Berliner!

semi-overcast 8 °C

Berlin is definitely THE city. Berlin never sleeps. Everything happens here. I fell in love with Berlin the first minute I laid my feet out of the train. The culture, the art, the architecture, the people... What's there not to like it? Everything is so perfect! In fact, I have just extended my stay here in Berlin...
Today I must have walked about 8 km and many more on subway and tram! Great views from the Bundestag, night photoshooting at the Potsdamer Platz but the best was the Berlin Wall and the East side of the city. It's like an open-air museum!
Can't wait for tomorrow!
