Today I’m looking forward to getting the first impressions of Havana, Cuba, something that has been on my bucket list for a long long time. In the morning, the last one in Matanzas, we were able to relax with our host over coffee and then had the drudgery of packing. I was a bit sad because they …

We have throughly enjoyed spending time with our family Marlies and Eef these past few days. I want to thank them for their wonderful hospitality and sweet natures. Visiting, washing, packing and catching up on websites was what our last few days consisted of. We went out to dinner to have one more meal of …

I am fairly sure I was in sleep deprived hell last night. The AC kept cutting off every single hour, Han tried not to but he snored enough for three weeks and the guest next door paced back and forth on their heels very loudly. It was misery. Got up today with maybe three hours …

I thought our next stop was to be Zurich and high tail it out of Italy forever but I thought wrong. </br> Enjoyed a good breakfast, grabbed a taxi to the bus station and then the following scenario began which I posted publicly on Facebook because people need to be made aware of this type …

Packed and not really ready to go, but time to go and leave Venice behind. Travel Hint: If you are staying anywhere in the center of town, I suggest calling for a porter to retrieve your luggage and meet you at the people mover. Cost Euro 20.00, but saves your back and offers a relaxing …

If you notice me not writing on some dates, those are just travel days. Not particularly eventful to note. Jump on bus, jump off bus for snack, jump on bus, occasionally wish the driver would slow down, speed up, stop talking non-stop, be a little friendlier, have more leg room, wish other riders take more …

So there are about 50 tour people, ages 20’s and 30’s, staying at the hotel which is located conveniently close to the main train station, just a couple of block from the famous ‘Duomo’. As always with groups, we were rudely awakened this morning at 2:30am by slamming doors and screaming and laughing. Yep, it …

There are so many titles I could use for this particular blog entrance, but most were not too complimentary. To put it in a nut shell, we stumbled across Genova’s version of the red light district where street walkers, priests and police abide. It was quite interesting and entertaining, especially when I wanted to take …

OMG! I woke up pissed off today. After not falling asleep until 12:30, I was woken at 2:15 by loud talking and disgusting smell of thick cigarette smoke. Our hotel is supposed to be smoke free. Even when I DID smoke, I could not stand sleeping in hotels that allowed it, as there is nothing …
