My thoroughly planned solo journey took me from Germany to the French Riviera and Paris - experiencing Mediterranean charm and Parisian culture while navigating the contrast between German efficiency and French leisurely pace.
My first European adventure took us through knee-deep snow to fairy tale castles illuminated against winter skies - a journey to Neuschwanstein that taught me the meaning of friendship and adventure.
My brief 8 AM sprint through Lyon revealed a sleeping city - closed shops, empty streets, and hillside schools. Discover if France's gastronomic capital is worth visiting during a short morning layover.
Nice Chinese restaurant. Has many extraordinary dishes. The wild pork stew was great, but the Hainan noodles were nothing like the ones in Hainan.
Good sushi place for lunch. The sushi was not bad and the Udon was excellent!
Solid Austrian food. The fish dish was pretty decent, and the stew was not bad.
Hard-to-judge Italian place. The seafood pasta was okay, the others were not special, but the Ragu dish was too salty!
Austrian Restaurant. Absolutely amazing food: tasty & innovative, even the bread dips were different each time.
Fantastic Cantonese restaurant. Very delicious food. We "wowed" at every single dish.
A Dutch restaurant. Nothing special.
