August 6, 2024 After our late night at Pride last night we slept in. Today we are going to Karlstein. We went back to the train station to catch our train to Karlstein. PB's friend had recommended this town to go check out the castle. For a 45 minute train ride, it was $6 round... Continue Reading →
Stairs galore
August 5, 2024 Maybe getting older means sleeping in and not rushing to get out the door, because today we didnt set an alarm again. Our goal for the day is the Prague Castle and the Petrin Tower (their mini Eiffle Tower). After our breakfast we headed out to the castle. It took us about... Continue Reading →
Communism and Rain
August 4, 2024 It was expected to rain today, so we slept in - but of course, it hadnt rained. Our breakfast at this Hilton hotel is really well done - there are so many choices. As usual, I get cereal and yogurt. Sometimes I get a croissant as well. They always have a different... Continue Reading →
Bratislava
August 3, 2024 Today we decided to sleep in. It didnt work very well for me, I was up before 6am, but it sure was nice to not have to rush to get ready to go somewhere this morning. We took our time getting ready and then headed to the little bakery down from where... Continue Reading →
Bratislava here we come!
August 2, 2024 Today we got up (significantly later than I have been) at 6am. I finally got 8 hours of sleep! Woohoo!! We hustled to get ready so we could grab some breakfast (for free!) at the hotel restaurant before we had to walk to the train station. The same guy that told us... Continue Reading →
We’ve made it to Prague!
August 1, 2024 I had to get up early, again, to get to my flight to Prague! It has been a QUICK three nights of my trip - I have only gotten about 14 hours of sleep since I left Sacramento. But no need to worry, I am still full of energy, probably just hopped... Continue Reading →
It’s cliche, but it’s fine
July 31, 2024 Surprise! I made it to Paris! When I realized how close I was to Paris AND that the Olympics would be taking place while I was so close, I decided I needed to go check out all the crowds. I wanted to take the Chunnel train, but sadly it was over £350... Continue Reading →
Over the Castle on the Hill….to Inverness
October 10, 2022 It was a bit rough waking up this morning, Lauren said I talked in my sleep and when my alarm went off for the first time apparently I said “noooo” out loud! Anyway, after getting showered and dressed we had to pack our stuff up! We are heading to Inverness today!! But... Continue Reading →
He got a PhD to give free tours!
October 8, 2022 Today we had to get up a bit early, 6am, for a 630am leave to get to Edinburgh. It, of course, was dark when we left and we learned pretty quickly that nothing is open at 630 in the morning, or 7 or 8 for that matter. After a good search (attempt,... Continue Reading →
Over the river and through the woods…
October 7, 2022 We stayed in our cabin last night on the Isle of Skye and woke up refreshed, ready to seize the day. Ok, that isn't necessarily true we woke up and were excited, but still exhausted. That drive yesterday did me in, but Lauren also was exhausted from her travel day plus the... Continue Reading →
