Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany Did I plan an entire trip through eastern Germany after seeing one single Pinterest picture? Yes, yes I did.

Behold the view that made me go to Bremen. From the corner of Wüstestätte and Marterburg you get a gorgeous look at the small, winding streets that lead into the colorful Schnoor neighborhood. Once home to many a medieval fisherman, today it is a touristy place with many pubs, restaurants, souvenir shops and small business selling all kinds of haberdasheries. Efteling vibes, for sure. 

📍 Schnoor Viertel, Bremen, Germany 🇩🇪

Cologne photodump 🇩🇪 This summer I went sol Cologne photodump 🇩🇪

This summer I went solotripping through Germany with their €9 month-long public transport ticket. I've already been told that they will NOT repeat that offer this year 🥲 But I had my fun! First stop: Cologne!

If you saw my stories today then you already know that I lost pretty much all of my photos and videos from that trip. Here's what I could salvage from my DSLR and Lightroom library. More details and pictures are in the "Germany 3" highlight on my profile! 😊

And since I no longer post on my blog, I'm going to post a list of my favorite things here. You can save this post if you want to find it again later! 😌

COLOGNE FAVORITES:
1. Watch the sunset from the Rheinpromenade 
2. Instagram pictures at Fishmarkt
2. Count the Picasso's in Museum Ludwig
3. Lunch/Brunch & shopping in Belgisches Viertel
4. Dinner in Südstadt and @ais.baby for dessert
5. Picknick in the Botanical Garden
6. Coffee at @ernstkaffeeroester & @thecoffeegangkoeln 
8. Pause in the Fort X rose garden
7. Walk around Media-Park and Innerer Grüngürtel for cig city vibes
8. Admire the crane buildings along Im Zollhafen

Europe, Germany, Travel · 6 December 2012

A day in Düsseldorf, Germany

Cold, mist, rain and wind could ruin our Christmas spirit last Thursday. We’re hardcore. Mom, grandma and I drove down to Düsseldorf in Germany on a grey morning to enjoy a day full of lights, gifts, funny Christmas mugs, mulled wine, hot cocoa, reibekuchen and lots and lots of shopping. Grandma bought me the prettiest hat and mom got me a new winter coat after dad shrunk my old one. I have no idea how he managed to do that! I can’t wait to show you my new winter look, but in the mean time, enjoy these festive photos.
In regards to my last post: THANK YOU. I was hesitant to post about my physical flaws, since I’ve had it happen before that people take advantage of such posts to get at me. I know Thanksgiving has gone and past, but today I’m thankful to have such amazing, supportive people read this blog and help me get that one step closer to accepting who I am.
I have to go now, and sweat my ass of working a little more on my thesis. That thing is ruining my mental well-being. I am in SO much stress, it even keeps me awake at night. It’s just, I have no idea what I’m writing or doing and I’m going to panic people, panic! The fact that I can’t reach my coach doesn’t help me much either, hehe. It’s come to a point where I feel like crying from frustration everytime I open that document. Okay. I’m an emotional mess. Yes. Phew. I’m calm. Or not.
There are more photos after the jump! Hope you’ll take a peek!

    I still really want to go to one of the big German cities for these kind of Christmas markets. It looks amazing, love the ski lift ferris wheel. 🙂 Great pictures!

    Sounds like a perfect day! I love Düsseldorf, I've spent a week there a few years ago and I would love to go back someday.
    Keeping my fingers crossed for your thesis! I know how it is, not being able to sleep when you're stressed out, I hate it too. 🙁

    beautiful images Nikki!!! love the one with the stars and the one with the ferris wheel, awesome!! I replied in the comments on the question you had about my christmas tree pictures, I was using a long exposure in those to create many of the effects. I hope you have a beautiful day, I'm sorry for your stress. I remember being at university and all the papers I had to write. Sounds like you need to step back a little, take a break, think about the thesis in terms of the concept you want to write about, talk about it, make a little outline perhaps, a little time away from the document itself to refresh your creative juices. best of luck with it, I know you'll overcome this block!

    When I said let's trade cities, I was serious. And now I want to trade an entire continent. These photos are beautiful and so festive! Did you ride in the ferris wheel?

    Also do you celebrate Sinterklaas in Belgium or is that just the Netherlands?

    And I love your new photo on your sidebar. You are the prettiest red head I know.

    And I've only just read your last post and I was so angry on your behalf that past readers have ever been mean, but also because people would tease you for your hair and teeth. What jerkfaces!

    I LOVE your hair.

    And your teeth, I think your smile is beautiful. I would never have known that it was something you were uncomfortable with.
