Martin is not in Madrid

Well, little delayed again (but I live in Spain, so what?!!! [-;), but better than never. There is a post about my trip to Germany. I went there for 5 days, and the main purpose was to visit former Kansas State University students reunion. The reunion took place at the weekend around 28.3., and was in Saarbrucken. But at first I went to visit Pavla, and Mike in Trier. So this post will be about that.

Trier is the oldest German city. Has been found long time ago before year 16 BC by Romans. There is lot of Roman ruins, and monuments. I can number gate (Porta Nigra), amphitheater, bridge, spa. Trier has around 100 000 inhabitants, so about the same size as Olomouc. Well, just have a look at wikipedia.

Trier is students, and turistic city. There are two universities. My friends Pavla, and Mike studies architecture at technical university. I stayed at their home three days, and it was really nice that I could be there.

We flew to Trier with Pavla from Madrid with late night plane. We spent very pleasant night at airport in Koln. Then we went to the first morning train to Koblenz and then to Trier. At the platform we met Pavla’s colleagues from architecture. What a surprise. They were coming from Greece, and were also so lucky to sleep at the airport, so instead of chatting about experience from traveling, we were sleeping in the train. Deutsche Bahn have quite good trains, but I was surprised how expensive was it – for two hours in the train I paid €32. This is rip off, not a price for train!!!

Pavla and Mike live in the historical center, so that was nice that I could walk everywhere. Anyway in Trier we were doing pretty much nothing. We went to good pizza, to play pool. We watched some crazy German guy fighting women box world champion on TV. I went to Luxembourg. Not that much to say.

Anyway there are some picture bellow. All the pictures can be found as usually :: HERE ::
