Oktoberfest
My 16-day journey through Germany was a whirlwind of spontaneity, laughter, and unexpected adventures that perfectly captured the country’s charm. From the lively streets of Hamburg and its serendipitous encounters to the windswept shores of northern Germany, every stop brought new stories. Munich delivered Bavarian magic, from Oktoberfest’s to sunlit views atop Zugspitze, while the Black Forest offered misty trails and waterfalls. Köln and Düsseldorf blended history with hilarity—charging stops, rainstorms, and all—while Frankfurt provided quirky city moments and cozy nights in. The final stretch in Hannover was a blend of calm mornings, laughter-filled evenings, and deepening friendships, ending with bittersweet goodbyes and quiet reflection. What began as a loosely planned trip evolved into a collection of unforgettable memories, proving that the best parts of travel are often the ones you never expect.
Hannover - Day 14
On my first full day in Hannover, I kicked things off with a coffee mission at a tiny bakery inside a grocery store, then wandered the city discovering quirky highlights—from an adorable postal bike to a small, eerie cemetery tucked in the middle of town. Strolling through Maschpark, I snapped photos of the “not-so-new” New Town Hall and found a ruined church hidden among modern buildings, both perfect for photos. Lunch at Brauhaus Ernst August hit the spot with a lime beer cocktail and Cordon Bleu, and later I met my friend Jonas for his first-ever Thai meal, enjoying the cool night with food, drinks, and a few laughs before wrapping up at Oscar’s.
