We had an incredible week in the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany and our final day trip to Luneburg was the perfect ending to our travels. Given we had an early flight the next morning, I didn't want to travel too far from Hamburg or return exceptionally late on our last day trip. Luneburg was perfect-- a half-hour …

Germany: A Day in Kiel and Lubeck
While I had an incredible week exploring different towns in Schleswig-Holstein during my solo day-trips around the region, I was excited for Friday.

There were long train rides in between so we saw fewer cities than the second half of our trip, which was in a more condensed area. For the second half, we traveled through …
Germany with the German: Part II
In planning the trip, there were a couple things I discovered. Frankfurt and Berlin have quite a bit of distance between them. We were going to have some long distances to cover at the beginning of the trip in order to have a more leisurely end of the trip. We were only going to travel …
