Oh, my gosh, what an adventure, Eleanor! I would never have been able to switch my itinerary mid-trip (I have a lot of travel anxiety and need to have all the details Locked Down), but kudos to you for doing it! I love your cobalt blue toque and the new Anne Fontaine shirt!
What a relief to get your bag back! 💕
Thanks so much for letting us travel vicariously with you…and also for this ginormous newsletter. I know how much work this is.
I love this whole travelogue, thank you for taking us along for the ride (getting tour bag returned feels fairytale-like). All your outfits looked just right for exploring but with lots of personality!
Another book rec: Lauren Markham’s Immemorial was a very good (imo) entry in the genre of “noodling around about how memorials and monuments get designed”
It’s been so long since I’ve done any travelling but I loved living vicariously through this travel diary! Copenhagen and Berlin are two of my favourite cities and I can’t wait to go back someday.
Loved reading this in its entirety especially since we're heading out for our first international trip as a family this weekend (to Japan and Malaysia)! And I just got some Salomon's as well to tackle all those steps we'll be taking while we're there.
I’m so relieved your bag was returned!!! Thanks for sharing your experience w us - hearing how you and your husband negotiated one another’s needs and desires and pivoting cities reminds me of my own marriage and how that kind of considered communication is what has helped us stay married for 22 years.
Now THIS is the kind of travel posts I love. The attention to detail!! The packing list!! The pictures!! Also so relatable the buying of things that you definitely didn’t need because TRAVEL.
Eleanor, I have to start at the end because I can’t believe you left your passport in Berlin AND had it safely returned to you! But back to the trip; I am very impressed by your “rolling with the punches” because that is the harsh reality of travel. I’m shook you didn’t like Hart bakery but, perhaps, it’s just because I love a sweet breakfast.
Now… tell me how the Salomon’s fit! I need details for a friend 😉
lol to be clear I did like Hart Bakery!! I just think that first thing in the morning I need my oatmeal (which I like to add almond butter, greek yogurt, berries, and jam to) or else I feel off for the rest of the day. I am normally a 9 in shoes, sometimes an 8.5, and I'm wearing what translates to a women's 8.5 in the US. (The EUR size is "40 2/3")
I love reading packing/travel shakedowns (I’m usually way too lazy to document fully!) i haven’t visited copenhagen or berlin yet & they’re near the top of the list. losing passport is a nightmare of mine so I’m glad it went smoothly!
Wow if this isn’t case for cobalt blue!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
I think it’s officially my favorite color
Can't say it hasn't been on my mind lately -- it's especially striking for winter!

You are a better traveler than I! I would not have dealt well with all the changes. Love hearing all the trip details!

omg you’re so right, I read that this summer and that must have primed me to think about that stuff while I was there… how did I not remember 😂

Color story, inspiring. Play by play, enchanting. The ending, miraculous. Loved this, and so glad your trip was such a wonderful adventure!
Thanks, Emmy!

22 years!! If it reminds you of your own communication that bodes well for my marriage :)

Thank you!! I love these kind of posts too--I want to feel like I'm *on the trip* with someone... glad you enjoyed

I have a German, not French chore coat from Episode, too! Mine is from an Amsterdam shop! 💙
amazing!
I love a travel roundup, thank you!! I got a rhubarb trifle at Mad & Kaffe two summers ago that still haunts my dreams
I don't even like scrambled eggs and I'm still thinking about the ones I had there..

I’m so impressed by your worn to not worn packing ratio
I'm impressed by how little you managed to pack and make work for your own trip!
