Berlin, Germany

Amazing Berlin. Again, it was really cool to see how the old and new architecture were integrated together in this beautiful city. Very busy city with great shopping. Too bad there was no more room in our back pack.

Had the opportunity to visit Potsdam Germany yesterday. Wish we had more time. Gorgeous little community. Might get back there on Sunday so I can add more pics.

Dresden, Germany

Sun, 09 Jul 2017 17:10:00 +0200

A big thanks to Chef Nick at the Lamplighter for suggesting we visit Dresden Germany before we get to Berlin. During the war they had very little left except for most of the pictures you will see here. In 1990 they began rebuilding the city.....what a fantastic job they did mixing the old with the new. We really had a great time!

Prague, Czech Republic

Tue, 04 Jul 2017 17:10:00 +0200

Beautiful Prague! Wow, so beautiful. We spent 4 days in Prague and could have spent another week here. There was so much to see and the city had so much history and character. The sites were fabulous. Enjoy the pics. Hugs to all.

Vienna, Austria

Thu, 29 Jun 2017 17:10:00 +0200

Welcome to Vienna. The city of $$$$$$$. If you need it and you can afford it.....it's here!!!! We visited some spectacular sites over the past few days. The large ornate church is St. Stephens and the smaller one is St Peters. We visited the National Gallery of History and the Schrombrunn Palace. Everything was beautiful.

St Peters

We climbed 343 stairs to top of the bell tower at St Stephens.

Budapest, Hungary

Mon, 26 Jun 2017 17:10:00 +0200

Budapest....Wow! This city was so vibrant and full of history. The buildings and architecture were phenomenal. The really ornate building that you see in the pics is their parliament building. 3rd largest in the world and just spectacular. We enjoyed spending time at one of their thermal baths aka swimming pool

Zagreb, Croatia

Sun, 25 Jun 2017 17:10:00 +0200

Only had the day to spend in Zagreb Croatia. Although the old Town was quite beautiful, it is very apparent throughout the rest of the city that they are going through difficult times here. Pics are from the old city with a very beautiful cathedral.

Plitvice, Croatia

Fri, 23 Jun 2017 17:10:00 +0200

Amazing few days. We spent the day at Plitvice National Park. Incredibly beautiful. The next day we visited the caves and on Sunday we spent the day in Zagreb Croatia. Monday we will leave for Budapest. Enjoy the pics and for more awesome pics of the park, look up Plitvice national park, it has its own website and is really good

Hello, we have spent a wonderful few days at the national park and the south end of the island at the beach. We are now on the island of Korcula. So beautiful. But more to come on it.

Mljet, Croatia

Sun, 18 Jun 2017 17:10:00 +0200

Hi everyone. I am adding a few more pics from Dubrovnik from yesterday. We went up the mountain in a cable car to see the fortress. It told the story of the war of 1991-92. Very interesting time for Croatia. You can see by one of the pics how the old town is surrounded by the wall and I've added a few more from inside the Old Town as well. Today we took a ferry to the island of Mljet. We arrived this morning and set up camp then proceeded to hike down to the cave by the ocean. Oh boy, what a hike. We probably descended about 1000 - 1200 feet on a trail that was mostly cliff-side, all rocks and boulders.

Stairs

And more stairs

Dubrovnik

Thu, 15 Jun 2017 17:10:00 +0200

Hello everyone. We are here in Dubrovnik. After a few flights and a trying time to find our room, we finally made it here. We will share a few photos from today but we can tell you that they will do no justice to the beauty of the area we are in. Today we did the walk on the wall which surrounds the entire "Old City". It is amazing and truly magnificent!! Although, the stairs everywhere you go are brutal. I believe we did more than 300 stairs today and it is hot.

Stairs to our room. 113 steps

Our home for a few days
