Sunset September 21, 2008

While I was composing the previous post by our bedroom window, this was happening:

The Sound of Music September 21, 2008

Hell yes this tour was worth it. Kitch, yes. But the satisfaction was just as high.
The first stop was at the house used as the rear of the Von Trapp home and lakefront garden. It looks just like it did in the movie. Also there is the road (and trees) that the baron sees children [...]

Bavarian Snowballs September 20, 2008

Ps. Jason threw his first snowball of the season.

Bavaria September 20, 2008

Jason confused the tours we were taking when he posted yesterday. We are doing the Sound of Music tour tomorrow. Yesterday we went full throttle and did 3 tours in one: the Bavarian Lake tour, the Eagle’s nest and the Salt mines. We went to the King’s Lake, which is supposed to be magical. You [...]

An Easy Day September 18, 2008

Let’s start from the very beginning. Very good place indeed.
We woke after a nice sleep in to have breakfast here at our hotel. Then we went back to bed for a few more hours. We’re both sort of fighting a cold so it seemed like a good idea. Later we took the bus into town [...]

Our Crazy day in London September 18, 2008

When they say London is the most expensive city in the WORLD they aren’t lying so Jason and I foiled the money makers and took not one but TWO free tours. NewEurope tours, we love you. We took Royal London at 11 am (all the palaces and the changing of the guard!) and Old London [...]

Arrival in Salzburg September 17, 2008

London was awesome, but also a bit of a blur. It’s such a busy place. We did two walking tours and a show in the evening. It may have pushed our immune systems a little too far, as we’re both feeling a little rough. But we’re not letting it bother us. [...]

Platform 9 3/4 September 15, 2008

We’ve arrived. But before we could do anything we visited Platform 9 3/4.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I was looking forward to this one!

Goodbye Edinburgh September 15, 2008

I have really fallen for this city. And this country. I an so very very glad we extended our stay here longer. We totally lucked out with the weather (though it is rainy and drab today; the perfect send off, I say).
Jana has been an amazing host. He’s really made this leg of out journey [...]

Euchre September 14, 2008

Jason used to be undefeated in Scotland…. Until he battled Jana and myself. I got the game point by going alone and getting all 5 tricks. I am the new Queen of Euchre!

Ps. We went to St. Andrew’s today. It was beautiful and sunny. Perfect day.
