Gotta run before the 24 hour pass runs out (funny trivia 24 hours = 100Kc, but 72 hours = 330Kc,... what a deal!).... [View Full Entry]

Got in at 19h00. Went for supper (awesome) in a gorgeous hotel (4.5 star) that is very expensive (over 200 euro per night). Tomorrow is a trip downtown and then a dinner cruise on the river. More later. Very tired. [View Full Entry]

Now in Germany

 Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Munich
After a whirlwind tour through Innsbruck (Austria), Schloss Neuschwanstein and Oberammergau, we've ended up in Munich. I really liked Innsbruck (smaller and very near the mountains) and Neuschwanstein (what's not to like about a castle surrounded by forest and hiking trails). Oberammergau would have been better to see in 2010 (Passion Play). The jury (me) is still out with regard to Munich. I might need to wander around more. It could also be that I'm still suffering from architecture overload. I'll add photos at a later date when I can find a computer that has a USB port. Tired now, but [View Full Entry]

This is more like it! This is the Salzburg Fortress.
Awesome city! It's small,... maybe a bit bigger than Regina. Love the pedestrian-friendliness of it, too. Here's some photos from the last couple days. Picture worth 1000 words and all (plus it really slows me down tyüping on this silly German keyboard. [View Full Entry]

EEK! Stupid $$ internet. Went to Schoenbrunn castle. And other stuff. More later, once I find cheaper internet. Yes has schnitzel. VG. And lots! [View Full Entry]

Cool buildings

Lots of cool gothic and baroque buildings,... must take better notes as they are all sort of blending into each other already!
Okay,... slightly less rushed post here. Please excuse the Z and Y transpositions, but they are reversed on the keyboard, so I sometimes mess up. Have just completed a whirlwind tour of Amsterdam (during layover) during which mom, who was walking in good shoes, but was wearing nylons in them, got huge blisters on her feet. She's a little slow right now.... Did a walkabout in Vienna yesterday. Karsplatz and Karlskirche. Then back to the hotel briefly and then off to a Mozart and Strauss concert in the Musikverein. This morning, a quick tour of a bunch of stuff,... stil have [View Full Entry]

Greetings! Can't think and type fast enough to make use of this internet connection,... so more later when I am at a less frentic pace. [View Full Entry]

5 hours to go. Am sufficiently pre-tired. "Pre-tired" is sort of like "pre-drinking", except that it doesn't involve booze. No wait,... "pre-tired" is nothing like "pre-drinking". So, my plan has been to get up 2 or 3 hours earlier than usual, which makes the time difference only +6 rather than +8. Next, on the 8 hour flight to Amsterdam, is to stay awake for the first hour, but then to sleep for at least 6 (17:00 to 23:00 here, 01:00 to 07:00 there). Unless my math is wrong, or the time zones don't work as I planned, I will have completely [View Full Entry]

Okay,... so all that remains is to pack. I think. Routes are planned, bookings are made, passports are valid,... all that good stuff. I'm going to try to figure out if it's possible to show our first excursion in Vienna on a map. Until we get to Europe, there will likely be more posting at the Broads Abroad site. [View Full Entry]

TEN days to go. Crap. I have a lot to do in the meantime. [View Full Entry]
