Day One-Wednesday, August 23rd

Here we go again. Euro2023!! Our first day sees us flying from Halifax to Frankfurt, Germany. Overnight flight with Eurowings Discover… a newer airline operated by Lufthansa. Once Westjet eliminated their YHZ-Europe flights, we were left with a few less options to fly direct to Europe. We leave Halifax at 7:40 PM and arrive in Germany around 7:20 AM. After 5 hours of 'head-bobbing' in the airport, we'll be off to Budapest for the first time.

This trip will have some similarities and some differences from our previous trip’s to Europe. The similarities include our travel partners (Paul and Colleen), our variety of cities, modes of transportation (planes, trains, buses, subways, cars, etc…), and a hunt for the best food around. The biggest difference is our decision to finally book a European river cruise. The cruise will essentially look after 7 days of accommodations, meals, transport and tours. Most of our trips have required tons of hours of research, planning and booking but for this one, a big chunk has been looked after. There was still plenty of work to do for our three self-directed days in Budapest and our two days in London at the end.
