A day trip to Graz, Austria
We took the opportunity to take a day trip to Graz, Austria yesterday since it is so close and it was a fun day. The boys enjoyed themselves even amidst Asher’s occasional screaming(due to a lack of being able to communicate). Graz is Austria’s 2nd largest city and it was great to experience their holiday […]
Checked out Maribor, Slovenia
We left Maribor, Slovenia this morning and tried to access the Pohorje tree top view. Although Google maps took us by way of an old forest road, it had also begun showing on our way up the mountain. By the time we arrived, the boys were both asleep, we would have had to dig out […]
Visited Bohinj and Savica (waterfall), Slovenia
We checked out some nature today and possibilities for skiing. We took the Vogel cable car which has amazing views. Unfortunately, only 1 lift open and that doesn’t cover the terrain Dave and I need. Toren still lived it up in the snow minus ski pants and boots because he had been waiting for more […]
A day out in Bled, Slovenia
Today we all got to walk around Bled and check out a few things like the island in the lake, the castle on the cliffs, some delectable sweets and the holiday market. Views galore, tasty treats, lots of walking, a wishing bell and a very spendy bit of transportation. Lights at the entrance of the […]
Why I fell in love with Slovenia, Central Europe
So, one of the reasons we had chosen to visit Slovenia was for skiing, the snow. However disappointed Dave was at finding that each resort (previously researched) didn’t have any snow or didn’t have enough to make it worthwhile, he didn’t give up and found a massive ski area in Austria that was completely open. […]
The city capital of Spain: Madrid
Our couple days in Madrid so I could get a taste was nice and pleasant. There are a few more things I wouldn’t mind checking out if we happen by or near the city again. I enjoyed just walking through the city and checking out the architecture as well as street art I spied. Loved […]
The beauty of Segovia, Spain
Our first few days were spent with a very generous friend’s family poolside for a couple days and then a day trip to Segovia. A view from below in the plaza. This was built in the 1st century A.D. and is one of the most intact Roman aqueducts in Europe. This thing is 14 km […]
Welcome to Salamanca, Spain
Well, next stop was Salamanca. We are camping in the Picos currently and it’s a little challenging keeping anything charged. Beautiful little city and fun to explore. A little lengthy but there were some funny moments to capture too Salamanca’s Plaza Mayor. I spotted a Starbucks here when I still needed a coffee, but it […]
The perfect day in Northwest Spain: Asturias
We decided that we really wanted to check out more of Northern Spain along with the cooler temps and headed to Asturias. Absolutely beautiful country. Our 1st partial day was squeezing in the Santuario y Basilica de Cavadonga and Los Lagos de Cavadonga. It is believed that this cave was initially used during the reconquest […]
Headed to Cudillero to Gijon, Spain
Well, plans were altered this particular day as we drove all the way to Playa As Catedrais and discovered you had to reserve a spot just to get on. Needless to say I was extremely upset because we just waisted a chunk of the morning. So, we drove to Cudillero and then from there to […]
