Is there anything better than a late summer breakfast on a rooftop terrace? Although our room was small and basic (and not really wheelchair accessible) the Hotel Museum turned out to be a perfect choice. We asked the concierge if it was possible to stay for one more night. It was! In addition we were able to move to a bigger room.

The Motel One Barcelona-Ciutadella was perfect for our short city trip. Our accessible room was spacious with a modern and fresh furnishing. The bathroom had plenty of room to manoeuver with a wheelchair including a wheel-in shower. Only the location of the room wasn't ideal. Located close to the lift it was noisy during the night and in the morning. Who needs sleep anyway?

Barcelona had been on my bucket list for a while. That is why I was excited to find cheap airfares from Stuttgart at the beginning of the year. My summer was quite troublesome and the week before our Barcelona trip we went to Hamburg to see the Aladdin musical (so good!). So this time there was no perfect travel planning in advance.

Three nights in a city, two hotels to test – not a problem for us. Maybe it was a litte bit ambitious... Anyway for the rest of our stay we slept at the hub by Premier Inn Brick Lane. Another reason for the change of hotels were the different rates.

Premier Inn guarantees a good night (or you get your money back) and that is definitely what I had. The bed was comfortable and big. We went to breakfast – our highlight of every stay at a Premier Inn hotel. In my everyday life I don't care much about eating meat products but that changes when I cross the British border. Sausages and black pudding accompanied by scrambled eggs, baked beans and pancakes (ok, we are more on the American side here...) - is there anything better?

As a gift for my confirmation my parents took me to London back in 2002. That was when I fell in love with the world city that still is so British! I have been to London by plane and by car but this time we wanted to go there differently – by train. Our journey started on an early sunday morning in the heart of Stuttgart. We took the Intercity Express to Mannheim, swapped trains and were off. Next stop Paris. As the wide fields of the Champagne flew by we had coffee and croissants and after...

Maybe it was the excessive wheeling all over Warsaw the recent days, maybe it was the cold Baltic weather – anyway I was exhausted. We took it slow...

After three exciting days in Warsaw we were looking forward to a little bit of calmness in Gdansk and that is exactly what we got there. It had stopped raining but the streets were still empty. Gdansk is much smaller than Warsaw and has a lot of uneven sidewalks with cobblestones and potholes. Challenging but still manageable with the wheelchair and charming for sure!

Travelling to and arriving in Warsaw, our hotel and our first evening in the Polish capital.
