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 …

The first leg of the bus trip went as scheduled. We were dropped off at Frankfort Airport to await our transfer. We had about a 25 minute wait. My tummy had been upset and was visiting the toilet more than usual. When the time grew nearer to bus arrival we went outside to the stop. …

Slept in and it was fabulous. We even missed breakfast. We finally got our lazy butts out the door, had a quick lunch at next door restaurant and jumped on the bus into town square. I immediately wished we had spent more time here and not elsewhere in less unsavory places. Simply charming, historical, interesting, …

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 …

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 …

This was one dang early morning. Had to get up at 7:00am to get ready, eat and walk to our tour bus site. Anywhere where they offer “Walkabout” tours, I highly suggest you booking one. We loved it and so did everyone else. We talked with many people and I only heard accolades for the tour …

We wanted to get out of the busy city hubbub, so we decided to take a public bus to Piazzale Michelangelo to experience the great renaissance artist’s Florence from above. It was also near a camping where Han’s family used to camp at in the late fifties and early sixties. It took quite some time …

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 …
