Neuschwanstein Castle Bavaria - Photo Diary

Castle

If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that I spent Easter Sunday being a tourist in my own country. I finally visited Neuschwanstein castle! A trip down south to see this beautiful fairytale castle has been on my list for absolute ages. When I lived abroad and told people that I'm from Germany/Bavaria people always asked questions about two things: Neuschwanstein castle and the Oktoberfest, always resulting in me having to tell them that actually I've seen neither. Obviously this had to change! So on Sunday I got in the car for a 3 hours drive to the very south of Bavaria. I have to say I was absolutely inappropriately dressed with only a t-shirt and a denim jacket because it was absolutely freezing down there - quite the contrast to warm and sunny Nuremberg where the journey started.

My Birthday Weekend In Pictures

Birthday

Last weekend I went to Austria to meet up with two of my favourite ladies and to celebrate my birthday a little bit. We all met in London 4 years ago (4 years already! Time flies!) and as we live in different countries we don't get to see each other as often as we would like. However we always try to find some time for a little meet-up, to catch up with each other and get all sentimental about our London past. I had such a nice weekend away with my friends and a very relaxed birthday at home on Monday, that I decided to share a couple of photos with you:

A spec(s)tacular post

College

I went to pick up my new glasses today and I'm in LOVE! Choosing them however wasn't that easy, I've been to three different opticians and had about three models I liked in three different shops - so there was a lot of going to and fro through town and trying and re-trying all the models. But in the end I was positive that it had to be the ones I liked first (my shopping buddy wasn't all too pleased...)!
