Road Trip to Hamburg

Me and My friends went for coffee after our class. We were talking about travelling and cultures. Suddenly, one of my friend suggested that why don;t we go for a road trip on coming weekend. spontaneously, we made the plan that we will visit Hamburg as that is the nearest destination from Leeuwarden. Trip time is only 4 hours from Leeuwarden. We sat in cafe for 2 hours and planned the whole trip, we booked the car and decided to stay in hostel. We decided that we will leave on Friday and come back on Sunday. Everything was final and I was extremely excited. We started our trip on March 15, Friday. We finished our class and started our journey. It was a bright sunny day.
We had loads of fun while driving. We played different types of game to pass our time. After driving for 3 hours we took a break and had our lunch in McDonald. We reached hostel after 4 and hours of driving. We kept our belongings in room and left to see the night life of Hamburg. We had a delicious dinner at "CAO" that was a Chinese fusion restaurant. 
Food, Ambiance, and Hospitality was on point. After dinner we walked around the city and returned to hostel because all of us were tired. 
Next day, (Saturday) we started our day quite early. We had our breakfast at a family operated cafe. Atmosphere in that cafe was very homely and food was amazing.
I had Banana and Nutella french toast with a cup of hot cappuccino. I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast. Once we were done with the breakfast we went for sightseeing and shopping. We walked around the city and enjoyed the architecture and culture. We were not able to do much because of the rain hence, we ended up in shopping mall.
Sunday, it was the day to return back home. We had to leave our hostel at 11 am so we woke up quite early and headed to have our breakfast. We went to a French Cafe to have our breakfast. I had vegetable quiche, french croissant with a cup of cappuccino. 

 After breakfast we started our journey to home. Though it was a small trip I enjoyed it a lot. We were 5 girls from 5 different nationality. This was fully a cultural trip for me. I learned about culture beside seeing a new city. I will definitely go back to Hamburg to see more of it.

Walk around the Belgian streets

Best part about the trip to Brussels was walking around the city. Every street has its own beauty. when you walk around the street you see the different cultures. The city has beauty of mix cultures. You will observe different shopping streets, I must say Brussels is full of thrift shops. There is food street where you can find almost every cuisine however, try Belgian steaks. Every street has its own beauty. However, I loved the food street. I traveled in summer hence I could not see the night life. I have heard that night life is mesmerizing in Brussels.    That's all for today's post. In next post I will talk about the famous church in Belgium.

As I bought the last minute ticket hence, I booked my flight with Pegasus airlines it is a Turkey flag bearing airline. It is a budget airline and lat minute tickets were very expensive hence, they were the only cheap option I had. I had 1 and half hour transit time. So, I had my flight on 13th of December. the first flight was from Amsterdam and the second one was from Istanbul. I reached Istanbul on time. I passed the check point and I was hungry as I did not had anything on the flight. I bought a chicken salad from Subway and I walked to the gate. I only had half an hour to board the flight so I ran and stood in the line. I was almost the last one in the line. By the time my turn came to board the flight the flight was full so all other passengers have to fly by the next flight. I was s...

I took Flix bus to travel to Paris. Flix bus was the cheapest option for me to travel in summer to Paris. As I traveled to Paris in Summer hence, I failed to see the night life.

It was hard for me to pronounce the name even. However, I ...
