When I first began thinking about this trip to Austria, the only thing I knew about was the Opera House and the dancing horses. I wasn’t totally sure that I was interested in going but I very much changed my tune. I happened to walk past the stables yesterday and it just felt special. Unfortunately,…
In the event you are wondering where all the world’s cigarette money goes, it must be to Germany and Austria. I’ve never seen so much in my entire life. I’ve travelled to Asia, South America, Italy, etc… and none of it compares. I came back to the hotel today and just felt like it had…
After a week plus in Europe, I’d like to announce that I’m a newfound fan of ear plugs. I’ve used them in nearly every hotel so far (so that’s 7 “hotels”) and it’s kind of life changing. When I get back to good ole America, I’m going to get myself a large Dunkin Donuts iced…
Vienna is a lot of beige – and I mean that in a nice way. The city feels distinctly like a European capital. When scooping out what to see, we felt like everything was actually pretty close together which is great since K didn’t have nearly as much time to run around. After a relatively…
Having really handled the majority of the Salzburg city sights the day before, today was theoretically a lighter day. If by lighter you mean, more walking and to things further apart. Salzburg is pretty well known for being the home of “The Sound of Music”. I really wish I had watched the movie before we…
I’m a rather organized traveler on the whole. I plan some things and then let others work themselves out. I’m sure it drives my parents crazy but I rarely book hotel rooms more than like 48 hours in advance. That being said, when we realized crossing the border to Austria was a challenge I got…
After a couple days in Munich, you kind of feel like you might have seen most things you intended…. which is why it made obvious sense to go to the Alps today. It is pretty amazing how different the view is after a 2 hour train ride.
I’m absolutely 100% still thinking about how good our dinner was last night. I mean that halibut … so good. Another thing that is very overwhelming? Oktoberfest. That is no joke. A whole mess of people who care a lot about big ole beers, appropriately festive clothing, and thankfully pretzels. But before we could get…
Today is a pretty light post to document – which is good because I’m tired. Additionally, there were not a lot of picture opportunities today. That isn’t to say we didn’t see great things, it’s just that somethings are super hard to capture. If I was to summarize Norway, I would say nice people, hot…
For us, this trip to Norway was really about taking a small little trip before joining the family in Germany. We only a handful of days we figured the “Norway in a Nutshell” tour was our best bet for encapsulating the experience and views. The title sounds like a joke but the Nutshell is real…
