Paris Hotels Reviews
Stuck in Customs / Foter / CC BY-NC-SA During my 8-day trip to Paris I stayed at four hotels. You might think I’m a masochist for doing it to myself, but I can assure you, I’m nothing of the kind.

One Day in Madrid
J. A. Alcaide / Foter / CC BY-NC-ND We arrived in Madrid around 11 AM. We left Madrid next day around 8 AM. In between, we had a blast just like we did in Berlin. Only the weather was much more pleasant in Madrid – when it wasn’t raining, that is. A taxi ride to… Continue Reading
