    On route to Slovenia via Graz

    27. desember 2019, Slovenia ⋅ 🌧 4 °C

    Well our Switzerland adventure was coming to a close but not after an early morning drive back to Zurich airport. A few inches of snow had fallen overnight (and was still falling!) so our drive was definitely an experience. Especially as a large proportion of the road through Turbach and Gstaad is only one lane of traffic!! I probably needed to get my blood pressure checked after that drive haha. We stopped at a fancy petrol station for a quick break and Ed was impressed with the chandeliers in the toilets. Well, it is Switzerland! A quick 1 hour flight to Graz, Austria where we picked up our next rental car for our drive down to Sladka Gora, Slovenia. We were greeted by some neighbours having a jam down the road, true Slovenian style! We are staying at a vineyard and the hosts met us with local cheese, homemade salami and some of their white vino (lots of it!). They are lovely people and made us feel very at home in their cottage! Can’t wait to see the view from our balcony tomorrow when the sun comes out. Lauren xxLes mer

    Slovenia Day 1

    28. desember 2019, Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C

    Slovenia blew us away and we loved every moment of our 3 nights there. After watching the sunrise from our balcony on Saturday morning, we ventured off to the Postojna Caves to see their annual live nativity scenes performed inside 5km of the cave. The cave was lit up with thousands of lights and live Slovenian performers/musicians entertained us as we walked throughout. Eddie and I have never seen caves like this before! Amazing!Les mer

    Slovenia Day 2

    29. desember 2019, Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ 1 °C

    Our second day in Slovenia took us off to the city of Ljubljana which was about an hours drive from our BnB. We enjoyed wandering around the old town and exploring the castle while the sun was shining. It is a really beautiful city and was a great contrast to our vineyard accomodation!! I could gladly spend another few days here in Slovenia but we must keep moving. Off to Salzburg tomorrow!Les mer

    Lake Bled

    30. desember 2019, Slovenia ⋅ ☀️ -5 °C

    Our last stop in Slovenia was Bled and we had a great view from the castle in the crisp morning air. I wanted to head down to the lake and go for a walk but unfortunately there wasn’t car parking near there so we did a few drive bys and I got a shot of the lake and castle from the car haha. I’m glad we arrived early as the traffic coming in when we were leaving was crazy! A lovely end to our 3 days in Slovenia!Les mer

    Driving to Salzburg

    30. desember 2019, Østerrike ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C

    From Bled we headed across the border and into Austria. We were shocked to find ourselves in amongst the snowy Austrian alps and looking at the most amazing landscape we’ve seen so far. As per usual, Ed was hungry and I needed a toilet break so we chose the nearest petrol station for a quick stop and found the nicest BP petrol station and rest stop we’ve ever seen. It was a food wonderland/market called Landzeit and Ed spent no time filling up a plate of food and finishing with a giant slab of some delicious Swiss roll cake. I had to drag (more like roll) him out of there and get moving to drop of our car in Salzburg to start our next adventure.Les mer

    A small snippet of Salzburg

    1. januar 2020, Østerrike ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C

    Again we’ve been a bit slow on the posts over the last few days. Probably not a bad thing as it must mean we are busy or too relaxed haha. Salzburg was lovely and I would definitely go back there again if we ever return to Austria! Although I feel like we covered a bit of ground in the time we were there. We visited the house where Mozart was born and spent the first few years of his life (was fascinated to hear about his very talented sister who I believe was overshadowed by her brother!), went to Mirabell Gardens (a little bit more colourful in summer I assume but very pretty!). We saw a fantastic interactive exhibition about some historic musical instruments, caught the funicular up to the Fortress Hohensalzburg and then walked everywhere else we could. The NYE vibe was a bit tamer than Amsterdam 3 years ago although there were still fireworks going off everywhere. We had a great view of the festivities from one of the pedestrian bridges on the river. The weather was perfect and we felt like we had a chance to relax a bit on the last day of our stay. Staying healthy and been cooking up some delicious meals in our Airbnb’s :)Les mer

    Vienna

    3. januar 2020, Østerrike ⋅ ☀️ 1 °C

    Just a short stay in Vienna so we didn’t get to see as much as we’d have liked to, but packed a few sights into our 2 days. We started off at St Stephen’s Cathedral where we followed the hoards of tourists into the church and took the 343 step spiral staircase 67 metres up the South Tower to take in a bit of a view of the city. A few claustrophobic moments heading up as expected! The Cathedral had an amazing tiled zigzag roof which you can see in Ed’s photo. We had a wander through the Heldenplatz with some amazing Baroque architecture and gardens. Back to the Airbnb for some homemade Weiner Schnitzel. Yesterday we did a guided tour of the Concert Hall built in 1870 which was very grand! Wish we could of seen a concert as I believe the acoustics would be amazing to hear. A bit of a dreary weather day outside but we went for a walk in the gardens of the Schonbrunner Schlosspark next to the Schonbrunn Palace. I made Ed visit the big Greenhouse with me that was built in 1882 called the ‘Palmenhaus’. So many Australian plants and trees in there - makes you realise how fortunate we are with the native flora we have back home. Off to Prague in the morning :)Les mer

    Prague - Day 1

    5. januar 2020, Tsjekkisk Republikk ⋅ ☀️ 2 °C

    So we set off towards the Old Town on our first day in Prague and I was pleasantly surprised to see the Christmas Markets were still going strong! I think Ed had seen enough Christmas Markets to last a life time and the poor vendors must’ve been over too although they all would finish up on the 6th January so only one more day. And nothing beats the smell of Christmas spices and roasting meats while you explore the city. The astronomical clock is beautiful and our photo doesn’t do it justice as the sun/shadows weren’t in our favour.

    We decided to get a view of the famous Charles Bridge before walking over it and Ed got a great shot of the size and amazing architecture. We wandered up to the Prague Castle and spent a couple of hours exploring its interesting history. The Cathedral in the Castle grounds is a wonder to behold! I also had to include some photos of Ed’s amazing lunch up at the restaurant. My fresh ginger tea was also amazing :)

    On our way down from the Castle we found the famous Stredoveka Krcma (Medieval Tavern) and headed down into the eerie stone pub which has been open daily since 1375. That was an experience!

    Our walk home took us over the Charles Bridge and we had some great views looking over the city (once you manoeuvre around the thousands of tourists and their selfies!)

    A day well spent and some sore legs to put up by the end of the day! Lauren X    Les mer

    Prague - Day 2 & 3

    7. januar 2020, Tsjekkisk Republikk ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

    Not too many photos from our last couple of days in Prague as we went to some museums and galleries where you weren’t allowed to take photos - understandably. Day 2 took us to the Museum of Communism which was really interesting and I’m really pleased we decided to go. I’m not a big history buff but the exhibition was so informative and well set out with lots of memorabilia from the last 100 years of Prague’s history. Highly recommend! We wandered through the Jewish Quarter of Prague which was fascinating too.

    For our final day in Prague, I wanted to spend some time exploring some interesting art galleries so we started at the Musuem of Miniatures which features the tiny works from Anatolij Konenko. It was mind blowing. He has created artwork like nothing I’ve ever seen before working on small surfaces such as poppy seeds, a strand of hair or a grain of rice. Ed managed to get a couple of photos on his phone looking into the microscopes (go Galaxy S8 for skill!).

    We went for a walk around the area of the Strahov Monastery and as it was getting pretty cold by this point, we ended up heading into the Monastery Beer and Wine Cellars which have been used for over 800 years. The restaurant down the bottom was fantastic and I got to try their freshly brewed Cherry Beer which was amazing. Of course I made Ed sample the food so he had some amazing looking (and tasting I’m sure!) black sausage stew. No complaints from him haha!

    We had a couple of hours to kill before heading to the airport so decided to head to the National Gallery which is in the Fair Trade Palace. A lot of local Czech artists featured in there and a few Picasso and Matisse as part of the collection. Was a good little stop over! 

Then off to the airport for our flight to Copenhagen. Chat in a few days :D
