It’s true! Nuremberg has a beauty and loveliness all of its own, and it’s jumped up our internal ranking to become our second-favourite city in Germany (after Berlin).

Learn why in this week’s podcast.

It’s important to maintain personal hygiene whilst travelling, but some people go overboard when packing toiletries for travel – everything in the bathroom cupboard gets thrown in, regardless of how often it’s used. Linda explores how we can we reduce the amount of toiletries in our bags.

  1. Vid and I love Nuremberg too, but our favourite city is Berlin- the street art and culture make it special. Have you guys been to Bavarian villages down south? 🙂

    1. Yes, Berlin’s still our favourite too. We’re spending the whole summer there, so we’ll see if it’s just a crush or there’s something deeper.

    Craig,

    I haven’t been able to follow your guys’ posts for a while… the feed hasn’t been showing the podcast as an attached download for quite a while, and (which I now know you were already aware) the web pages / site were often not showing up. That browser checker you implemented for a while really messed things up too 🙁 It blocked tools like Pocket and Instapaper from accessing the articles.
