Our trips 2019, part 1

Dear Readers, Happy 2020 !

We have moved here about a decade ago, and started this blog just before our departure from New York. So this blog is 10 years old ! We took a break from updating the blog earlier this year because of other projects.  But we are committed to keep this going as long as possible, even if the posts are less frequent and regular.

It is a tradition on this blog to take a look back at some of the places we visited last year. We traveled quite a bit in 2019, possibly more than 2018, at least in terms of capitals visited. Chris had been to Berlin, Vienna, Bratislava, Bern, Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo.

In reverse chronological order:

Basel – Christmas markets – originally we wanted to visit Strasbourg but the French train strike …

St Alban-Tor, Basel, Switzerland

Chateau Grandson, near Yverdon Les Bains – on the shore of Lac Neuchatel, Switzerland

The Zytglogge, Bern, Switzerland

Brandenburger Tor Berlin, Germany

Berliner Fernsehturm & Alexanderplatz, Germany

Bauhaus, Dessau, Germany

Bauhaus museum, Weimar, Germany

Leipizig University, Germany

Leipzig opera house, Germany

Imperial Palace 皇居 from Otemachi Building 大手町ビル, Tokyo

Yurakucho 有楽町 near Ginza, Tokyo, Japan

Samseong dong 삼성동 near Coex, Seoul, South Korea
