Here are some more of our European travel memories from 2024.
It's funny, I actually never got around to writing down a lot of our travel updates here until 2025, because life got in the way.
But I've seen significant changes to social media platforms recently, as Twitter went to hell and newer sites sprung up. And I've realised that you can't rely on any of these to be places where you keep your memories safe. At least this blog is under my own control!
So back to Europe. We went Dortmund so my wife and son could see a French match, and as usual I explored the town while they went to the game.
This green carpet lerads you through the city to the Fan Zone.
Next we hit Hamburg with the relatives. This building with its spectacular view is where their Symphony Orchestra lives.
This church was burned, rebuilt, bombed, then made into a memorial.
The bricks under this sculpture come from a camp where 50,000 people were killed.
We went to see Turkeye vs Czechia at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, it was an amazing experience. So loud!
And then we were off to Paris, which was frantic!
We spent half a day exploring all the scenes of the movie Amelie.
The Pompidou Museum had an incredible display of comics. These next few photos are original inks! Including Calvin & Hobbes.
Literally my favourite ever Batman illustration from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
And the collection wouldn't be complete without a Kirby original.
You have to see the Eiffel Tower! The views are worth waiting in line for.
And we had a look at Versaille. It's utterly incredible. And by the end of it, I was so ANGRY! That these rich assholes lived in such utter luxury while their fellow citizens died in the shit. I can totally see why the revolution happened.
Notre Dame was unfortunately close for renovations. But they had beautiful photos of all the trades people doing the work!
