Prague has always been a city I have dreamed of visiting, and I am so glad we are finally here, walking these historical cobblestone streets. We arrived with the GPS driving me ‘smack bang’ through the old historical town, and right up to the hill overlooking the city. Oh, it was so beautiful. We were […]
We wake up to our last day in Poznan, Poland and the time has flown by. Today we are off to have some family fun time. Family fun is an important part of our travel. Tie we spend together with no technology, and just having a good time. Warm water pools are great for that. […]
This is our third day in Poznan Poland, and we have been having an amazing time so far, and are so glad we decided to visit. Poznan seems to be a city full of surprises, and today turned out to be no exception. First off we headed for a walk through the old town. There […]
This is our 2nd day in Poznan – you can read about yesterday here. Poznan is positively amazing. It has only been a day, and we are so pleased we made it to Poznan. We flew with LOT airlines from Budapest to Warsaw, then a train to Poznan. First, on the list today was to see […]
We are in Poznan, Poland. I never in my wildest dreams even thought that when we started our world trip in 2012 we would still be traveling now – in our 3rd year. Neither did I think we would be in Poland. We flew in last night to Warsaw, and then took a train to […]
Spending Sunday in the Salubrious Sisley Spa in Serbia This week was my 53rd birthday, and it turned out to be a great week, and it was going to end perfectly. It started with us driving from the top northern border of Romania, through Hungary and ending up in Novi Sad for a few days. […]
From the very first time I heard about the Hotel of Ice in Romania, I wanted to go. I figured the hardest part would be to convince my nine-year-old son, but as soon as he saw their website, he was as keen as I was to venture up the snowy mountain-side, and spend a night […]
Three full-time traveling families got together and went on a convoy. Our cars zig-zagged up and down the small country roads of Romania. Past the snowy slopes as children tobogganed. Finally, we turned off on a long muddy road, and over a rattly wooden bridge. Our cars parked on a grassy hilltop, and we grabbed […]
We are here in Safranbolu – an incredibly old Ottoman village, nestled in the valley, toward the Black Sea in Turkey. It is raining and we only have one full day and two nights here. But we want to go out and see this amazing place. So our hotel organizes a golf cart tour. This is perfect. […]
When we decided we wanted to visit Turkey, Cappadocia was high on the list of places to see. And a balloon flight over the valley, along with staying in a cave, were the two things on our ‘MUST DO’ list. There are a lot of balloon companies to choose from, but Cappadocia Voyager Balloons stood out […]
We are off to explore the local area where we have been housesitting in Turkey. I have been researching a few of the “things to see” and have read about hillsides filled with carved rocks tombs, that at first sight look more like elaborate doorways to hidden houses. You might have heard of the book […]
Did I just say ” Snow that isn’t cold? ” Yes, I did! Well, is it? Read on! We are in Turkey, and what looks to be icy cold snowy hills. We have read about this place, and have our backpacks ready to hike up the hills. We park the car, and it isn’t really […]
