So I am finally all settled here in Regensburg and it is quite different from Braunschweig. There are different types of cheeses and wurst, many new foods from Switzerland and Austria since they are so close by. It is about 1 1/2 hours northeast of Munich and it lies on the Danube river. There is an amazing preservation of history here and I hav...

We decided to go on a day trip and find some castle ruins. We found Hohenburg on the top of a hill . It was the closest we could get for now, we will probably go again in the spring. Hohenberg castle was built in the 10th century.
We then went to the town of Hohenfels and found the ruins of the Schlossberg castle. The original castle was bu...

So now that my studies are over at the University in Braunschweig I have to move to southern Germany. I had 3 exams and 2 presentations at the end of the semester which were not too difficult but of course all in German. I even wrote a 13 page report in German about the research and experiments that I did for the Institut fuer Bioverfahrenstechn...

Well, I've been home from Italy for about a week now. It has been a mixture of things: sad, happy, lazy, boring, amazing, relaxing... I could go on and on. Originally, I was going to be on my way to Switzerland right about now, but I decided against going- I'll leave the Swiss Alps for another trip. I just really wanted time to be in Regensburg ...

Hi Everyone, on Friday night we went to Penker, which is a nightclub, disco place. It was really fun, didn't stay too late as they kicked us out at 12:00 because we are underage. Also on Saturday St Nicholas came, as Sunday was St Nicholas' Day, so I got a Santas hat full of lollies and chocolate!! On Saturday did some shopping and played about ...

Hi everyone, there has been lots to do I hardly get time to write any blogs!! Yesterday we went to Regensburg and had an hour tour of the town. It was amazing. After I got home I wrote down everything I could remember in my diary, and it was about 8 pages! Of course we had an hour before the bus departed after the tour and I managed to some deco...

Hi everyone, back in Australia, it is 5:45 in Germany and its just before dinner. The flight was fine and I'm not very tired afterwards, but maybe it will hit me in a couple of days because I feel just as I normally do on an Australian night?? We had some nice food, on our first flight we didn't get served dinner until 10:00pm!! Which was a chic...

Die älteste Wurstbraterei steht - gerichtlich abgesegnet - nicht in Nürnberg, der Bratwürstelhochburg, sondern in Regensburg. Im Mittelalter, als die erste Steinerne Brücke gebaut wurde, wurden die Arbeiter über die Wurstkuchl verköstigt. Zu finden ist sie ganz einfach: Man geht in Richtung steinerne Brücke und folgt von da an seiner Nase. Ein p...

Woke up today as we were approaching Regensburg, a well preserved medieval town. I joined Jack and Suzanne for a walking tour of the town. Our guide was very good and had interesting stories to tell about the town’s history. We saw the oldest stone bridge in Germany which was completed in 1146. It was the only Danube crossing for hundreds ...

Life is good here, aside from the rain. It seems like everywhere we go, we take rain with us. We went to Dresden, it rained. We went to Salzburg, it rained. We came back to Regensburg, it rained. But it doesn't matter because it is usually raining in Murray too, so if I'm going to be somewhere it is raining, may as well be Germany.

It ...
