Wien! I had no idea Shell's mum played golf, or your mother smoked a pipe Scotty....the pipe was for your mother right? Interesting.... Looking at your pic's takes me back to my time in Vienna, I absolutely loved it. It was the first European city I had ever visited and I was gobsmacked by it beauty and history. So glad you enjoyed it also x
oh dear! Best not let my step family read your thoughts on Prague lol.....guess if you know the language and have family who live there its makes the whole experience different hey....I had the best time in Prague. I'll admit I found it a little difficult to eat in the restaurants however did find a vegan on on the castle side. At not point did I get charged at tax, whether with family or not and the "beers", (not Bud) were sensational!!! The crowds big!
oh dear! Yes, we didn't have much fun in Prague and felt that was maybe because we were tourists and taken as suckers a lot of the time. Prague beer is sensational, and you were lucky to find a vegan restaurant as there was a lot of meat around.
Slovenia looks like a winner... Those caves are just stunning, and not a neon light in sight (I've been scarred by lit up cave systems in Asia). And friends you can travel well with are totally worth their weight in gold... :)
Slovenia looks like a winner... After travelling by ourselves for so long we were worried about travelling with Traudy, more for her sake than ours, but it was just so much fun. Thankfully no coloured neon lights or bad music being played in the caves. As for the Ramones T-shirt on an electric bike I think Joey and Co. would be okay with that as I don't think they were much into exercise, except of course the bike should have been black and had a drink holder and an ashtray.
Love it! Hey guys xx. I miss you!!! Was a great time. Goddess is a bit much, don't you think lol....looking at the pic's you saw so much more of Lubje than I did? And I had a native guide lol.... whoohooo!!! I'm home, so good to see my babies, love Australia.. I guess you have worked out by now that I jumped the queue of what was before Lubje, so will head back to read up on your adventures before....Love Slovenia xx
Glad to hear you made it back home okay Both loved our time with you Traudy, just made Slovenia extra special to us. I guess next time we holiday together it will be either at Club Padstow or Le Mooney Mooney where I speak the local language (drunkinease) really fluently. Give your babies a kiss from us and will see you soon.
This! I really want to try this! But that's not cake on the bottom layer is it? Looks more like a custard...? Glad to hear you found the LOVE in Slovenia, and that it's not crawling with tourists :)
This! Funny enough we did thing of you when we were having this and how much you would enjoy it. The bottom layer looked like custard but didn't taste like it or have the same texture, so unsure what it is, but it tasted fantastic - maybe should have mailed a couple to you.
bed collapse I don,t know where your head is at but I thought the collapsing bed was caused by to much beer and cake . Those motel beds are not built on a kenworth chassis you know . Great to hear that your both still thoroughly enjoying your bar crawl through Europe .
Starting to wind down...? Zagreb sounds like the perfect place to potter around in and get to know one bloody great pizza at a time. I'm fascinated by the Museum of Broken Relationships and its objectification of the loss of love. And p.s. it's warmer over here guys ;)
Starting to wind down...? Yes Shelley did enjoy the Museum of broken relationship, but I sure loved those beers while I waited. Thankfully the weather has hit back nice and warm with 24 degrees - once it gets colder than Tassie that is a sure sign to go home.
Health food Glad you are sticking to only the healthy foods. Sounds like your apartment is a dreamy place that you just don't want to leave. I'm certain I would have shut down for a couple of days and nested. Love the architecture. Sorry to hear fall is moving in fast.
Health food Cannot claim that this is typical Croatian food but they were nice. We had a deadline to meet so we had to leave otherwise I think we would have hung around Croatia for another month at least, with lots more towns to see and also time to unwind. We are getting close to going home and are actually looking for some where in the world for a week of nothing.
Laundry nightmares and more I love these kind of street scenes. Yikes, the laundry bit sound horrid. Being able to cook for yourself on the road is such a treat and you two have been at this a long time. I'm certain that was enjoyed. What a fabulous place to kayak. Always glad to hear your impression positive and negative to get a balance and a feel for the location. Thanks again.
Laundry nightmares and more The kayaking certainly softened my opinion of Dubrovnik. If the place was cheaper it would have made dealing with the crowds a little bit easier, but it is very pleasing to the eye.
Goldilocks moment... So happy to hear you had a Goldilocks moment in Zadar - I love it when that happens! And also so impressed that you both pressed through the fog of feeling sick on a travel day...well done (although when I hear Tony Abbott speak, my blood boils and I usually throw things at the TV!) :)
Goldilocks moment... We can now fully appreciate the hype on Croatia, it deserves it and with Turkey falling off the travel agenda it is only going to get more popular. I used to throw things at the TV when Alexander Downer and John Howard were on, but after destroying a lot of TV's my anger now comes out as nausea.
Love love love the photos! I can totally understand your love/hate relationship with this place. I was going to say that this would probably be another place for the shoulder or off season list, but after looking at the gorgeous summer light in your photos, I would almost say it was worth the masses of tourists :)
Love love love the photos! Thanks guys, The good news for you is that the place was worth the pain although after a bit of thinking back we would perhaps not stay inside the old city but outside the walls where food and drinks are cheaper. The bad news is that we were there technically on the shoulder, but that depends on who you are talking to.
