this was something I wanted so badly for such a long time. Being at the Europapark on Halloween. I wanted to see the spooky decoration and the creepy shows as well as the monster parades and everything else which is happening during that time (did not know before that it would be so crowded you almost couldn´t ride a thing).
Our hotel:
We stayed at the Bell Rock Hotel – one of the to the park connected hotels. We had kind of a New England / lighthouse inspired theme all over the hotel. It is absoluetly beautiful. Walkig the aisle to your room you can hear pirates singing and the ship creak. The details everywhere are insane. You even feel like you are in another country.
The Bell Rock is a 4 star superior hotel. We had a normal double room and that was enough cause we were outside at the park the whole day. Just went back for showering and sleeping.
Eat and drink: We took advantage of the great hotel restaurants twice. For dinner we went to the Harborside Restaurant – a buffet restaurant with meals from all over the world. And we also ate once at the St. Louis bar of our hotel. The Ceasar Salad and the Pulled Pork Burger are excellent.
Another tip is the pizza restaurant at the Collosseo Hotel (another hotel in the whole complex you can walk to within 5 minutes) and also the rooftop bar on the fifth floor.
There are many restaurants and cafés in the park where you can eat but the food isn´t as good as at the hotels (and quite expensive) and you probably have to wait a while until you get something.
The spa: We were at the indoor pool on one day cause it was pouring rain and we couldn´t get out.The pool is created like you are standing in a ship. You have the portholes and the railing from the inside and the figurehead and the sail including the half ship on the outside pool.
The park: I had been to the park a few years ago already but I had forgotten a lot. The park itself is divided into different countries and each of it has a special ride for example with the landmarks itself or important things the country produces. Also the food is always authentic. For the Halloween theme the park is decorated with about 300k pumpkins. They are everywhere and this is so cool. Also there where some rides converted for the Halloween attractions but they where way to scary so we didn´t do that.

since fall is my favorite season ever. I think this will never change. It starts in the middle of August. I get this itch and then I have to get pumpkin spice candles and suede boots and felt hats and the list goes on and on….
Finally I got to go to a place this year where the foliage was at the peek of its colors as we arrived and it was stunning. I probably was standing there with my mouth open half of the time and just starring how beautiful mother nature created fall season at some places.
We went to the black forest a day before we got the Europa Park Rust (post will follow next week) and it couldn´t be a better start at all. I planned on apple picking the first day but of the cold weather in spring there wasn´t much to harvest cause all the blossoms died so they couldn´t even become fruits.
So we went up to an old ruine. It was so dreamy. The little old castle up high between fog and colorful leaves. We went there for coffee and a little exploring and after that we headed to a city nearby called Weil der Stadt. I have never heard of it before and it was one of the cutest cities I have ever seen. Lots of pretty old half-timbered houses and a castle wall around it. Also they had such a beautiful church in the city centre. We walked around and had dinner at a small restaurant. The food was typical for this area. I had roasted meat and bohemian dumplings for dinner which where delicious.
Do you have any plans for the weekend ? I am glad we are back home. I have to catch up on some work and unpack and do the laundry first.
Also I am going to make sugar cookies this weekend. So stay tuned for that.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,
today I am sharing all the information of our quick and easy getaway. After not having a real summer vacation as we where on our trip in June already we decided to get away for two days somewhere nearby. So we picked Munich.
Munich is a huge city and so multiculturel. We started at the Olympic park which is located at the outer edge of the city and it is really nice. It is a incredible big park with a lake in the middle where you can do stand-up paddling, wakeboarding or rent a pedal boat. Around the lake are several buildings like a stadium for concerts and soccer games, a ice-rink and the Olympic tower. We decided to go up the tower to get a 360 degrees view of the city. And boy the view was amazing. As it was a bright and beautiful day we had such a perfect view in every direction. There is also a restaurant located on the tower so you can dine with forsesight :). The Olympic parc was built for the 1972 olympic summer games. Since then it is a place for recreation and tourists from other countries.
After walking through the park – there also a summer festival as we went with different food trucks and a small market with lots of stuff to buy – we went to the English Garden to have a look at the Chinese Tower.
The Chinese Tower is a 25 metres high tower completely made of wood. The tower was built in 1790 as a viewing plattform. It has been destroyed and rebuilt after the second world war and now isn´t open to public anymore.
From all the strolling around in the parks we got a little hungry and went into the city centre to get some coffee and a snack. Of course our coffee stop was Starbucks (just can´t help it, we don´t have one in Regensburg so I am stopping at each and everyone I can find). I had a coffee americano and the best cinamon roll I have ever had. And I got this coffe to-go mug I love so much. With lipsticks marks and hugs and kisses.
After our refreshment we took a look at all the sights in the city. We stopped at the town hall on the Marienplatz for the famous bell ringing happening every full hour.
Then we went up to the Stachus a famous place at the end of the pedestrian zone with fountains and restaurants and places to sit and watch people.
For dinner I had planed to go to the traditional Hofbräuhaus in Munich be we tended to go across the street into the Hard Rock Café Munich and that was a great decision. We had pulled pork burger and mac and cheese.
After dinner we finally went to the hotel. We stayed at the Leonardo Hotel Munich City West for the night. This is a design hotel chain and you can find one in at least every city of Europe.
The room was pretty big and we had a small terrace which belonged to our room. There was also a small kitchen aisle hidden befind a wood wall. I can´t say anything about the breakfast cause we just grabbed a quick coffee and then checked out and went to the Chiemsee.
The Chiemsee is a lake nearby Munich (about an hour away). It is a pretty huge lake with a big castle in the middle.
We rented an electric boat and drove arround on the lake for about and hour. We popped some champagne and ate some ice cream chocolate. It was really pretty and the weather was just fine for this occasion.
Before finally heading home to Chloe we had pizza and a diet coke at a lake restaurant.
This really was a nice short trip and a great opportunity to get away for some time.
I think we might do this some more times throughout the year.
about five weeks ago we got back from our south tirol trip and you may have noticed that we took
Chloe with us this time. Usually she stays at my parents’ house when we are
gone for a few days but we always miss her so much so this time she was with
us. And I have to admit that there can´t be so many more things for travelling
with a baby than with a dog. She almost had a bigger bag than me.
We informed
us about dog friendly places upfront (hotels and restaurants) cause you can´t
take your dog everywhere with you but since she can´t stay alone in the hotel
room she had to be with us the whole time.
So here is
a list of all the things we took with us including Chloe
– Car box
with a soft blanket inside (she loves to ride by car – she falls asleep the
minute after we start the engine)
– sleep
cushion
– feeding
cups
– water cup
for on-the-go (this is pretty cool)
– water for
the car ride (we usually drink water with gas so I made sure to have a bottle
for Chloe without)
– blanket
– towels – we
went to lakes to get her refreshed
– different leashes
– I took a short one and a longer one with us (didn´t want to take her of the
leash as she doesn´t know the surroundings)
Food – I got
these small bowls for her. They are packed for one meal each so I can throw
them away and don´t have a big opened can in the hotel refrigerator
Feel free to ask me any other questions if there is something I forgot.
