At first, hearing only foreign languages being spoken was a strange feeling. We would try to ease-drop on conversations and try to understand. Never had any luck. Now, we rather enjoy the fact that we can’t understand anything anyone else is saying! Imagine, we are never distracted while eating out, or going into deep thought […]
As soon as we stepped out of the subway, we were greeted by Gay Pride decor. It’s definitely the largest pride festival we have seen. It spans over 2 weekends with the parade occuring this upcoming Sunday. We will definitely be in attendance now that we have found a lovely B&B. Immediately I was […]
Above: Welcome to Poland in Polish
After a 9 hour night train from Prague we arrived safely in Krakow, Poland at 6:20 AM. We were a bit spooked of the night train as we heard tales of robery on night trains and our couchette was equipped with 2 door locks. Thank goodness for the locks as they […]

We spent the last few days in Prague and it’s been great! I forgot to mention in our last post that we went to the black light theatre. It was expensive and not worth it. It was […]

When the bill says, “Service Not Included,” they aren’t kidding! The first place we ate attempted to charge us for the bread they brought to […]
We enjoyed our stay in Cesky Krumlov. It took me awhile to get used to the buildings. They are painted as if they are constructed of marble and other grand architectural materials. Unfortunately, it’s very obvious that it’s just paint. Shannon and I assumed that this area was partially destroyed during WWII and the Czech […]
We arrived in Hallstatt, Austria two days ago by the most spectacular train ride! The views kept Shannon and I hanging onto the windowsills with our cameras in hand (as our photo gallery details). Hallstatt is a charming TINY town completely surrounded by huge towering mountains and a crystal clear lake. The internet cafe is […]
Salzburg is definitely proud of their church bells! They took charming bells and transformed them into obnoxious noise. Seriously, ALL the churches sound their bells every 15 minutes from 6am until 9pm, and they are especially proud at some intervals spanning 15 minutes of full bell ringing. Usually, I think of church bells being harmonious, […]

You can go to the bathroom at anytime and are free to move about the cabin.
If you get hot […]
