Today Niki took off from work so we could all go back into Vienna to spend time together. We were supposed to stop (I thought) before reaching Vienna for some breakfast. I have an issue with low blood sugar, so by the time it hit 11:00am, we were pulling into the parking garage in Vienna …

Our taxi driver picked us up and I immediately complimented his driving skills and he told us he had only been driving for four days. He was educated at university and had just found a part-time job in his field, but he said he did not like staying home to be lazy, so he began …

Han and I had the greatest night’s sleep. We blasted the airco and snuggled down under the blanket. We had some coffee, packed up, met up with Niki and Mia and got on our way. We decided to be simple and cheap today, which led us to McDonalds for breakfast. Now if anyone knows Han, …

We (Han, Niki, Mia and myself) took off for Salzburg today about 300km to the west and encountered some beautiful countryside with charming homes and farms along the way. Stopped at a roadside eatery for lunch called Landzeit Market. If you ever see one, keep on going. It is a tourist trap with subpar food …

Good morning Prague! Few bites to eat, out the door to meet with the Tour van driver. Loaded up, picked up five more passengers along the way and drove up to the Prague castle. Met George (Jiri), our tour guide, everyone introduced themselves and where they were from and we began our tour. We had …

June 11 – Leaving Berlin, we had one of the most non-stressful taxi rides to the train station. Simple solution, ask the driver to take it easy. If they don’t comply, no tip. Easy-Peasy! We left Berlin this morning to catch my first real train ride. Subways don’t count. We continually saw ever-changing scenes to keep …
