More summaries, more stats, more maps

A few days ago I got back from Germany, where I was unintentionally continuing my Year of Europe. This was my third trip to the country but the first time for more than a few days; I’d visited Berlin for two days in 2013 and Munich for three in 2024.

But this isn’t a travel blog. That would be boring.

No, this is an interesting blog, where I post charts about how much money I spend on food and tell you how many times I went running in Spain and complain about the coffee in Italy.

There isn’t as much data to share about this one as my 7-week Southern Europe Extravaganza, but as you know, the whole point of traveling is to talk about it at every opportunity. Especially on your interesting blog.

Locations

  1. Frankfurt (1 night)
  2. Cologne (2 nights, with a day trip to Dusseldorf in there)
  3. Hannover (5 nights)
  4. Goslar (1 night)
  5. Hannover (1 night)
  6. Hamburg (1 night)
  7. Hannover (3 nights)
  8. Berlin (2 nights)

Here’s a helpful map:

Workouts

I did exactly one workout during my trip: a gingerly jog while feeling sorry for myself. No need for fancy charts on this one.

It was a very sedentary couple of weeks, because I’d sprained my ankle somewhat seriously a few days before heading to Germany.

Expenses

Not tracked. Sorry!

This was cheaper on a per-day basis than most of my past trips because a) I shopped for real groceries and b) much of my time was spent working (remotely) so I didn’t have as much leisure time to burn money on activities.

How much cheaper? Unfortunately I’ll never know.
