Packing

One of us is packed, the other is still struggling with fashionable choices that will fit in her bag.
Chestnut Ridge, United States

All packed headed to the airport. Keira is ready to go too!
Oslo

We've arrived!
A day in oslo

Our flight to Oslo in the new 787 dreamliner was nice, although we learned that Norwegian does not include food or beverages on the 7 hour international flight unless you pay extra or flag them downLæs mere
Landed in Dublin

Can't ask for a better welcome to Ireland than with a rainbow!
Guinness factory

Lovely day for a Guinness!
Slàinte to Dublin!

Hi guys, it's Rupal! This is my first blog post so let's see how this goes...
Right now we're on a bus to Galway which is in the west of Ireland to see the more scenic side of the country where we'llLæs mere
Connemara, Ireland

We made it to Galway yesterday and headed out for a bus tour to Connemara which is off the beaten track full of untouched scenery, ruins and a castle! I'm glad we decided not to rent a car for thisLæs mere
Aran Islands

We've been off the grid for a day or two but there's a good reason why! When you're in the middle of the Atlantic on a remote island there isn't much of anything around including access to theLæs mere
Cliffs of Moher

No words needed, enjoy these amazing pictures of the Cliffs of Moher! These pictures don't do justice to seeing the Cliffs in person. With perfect weather and no rain we got to spend an afternoon atLæs mere
Galway, Ireland

We didn't know what to expect from Galway, but read good things and knew that most of the best sightseeing was close by so we made it our home base for a few days during our West Ireland day trips. WeLæs mere
Giant's Causeway

It's hard to believe that these hexagonal formations were formed over 60 million years ago!
Northern Ireland

Irish (I wish haha) we could go back to the beautiful landscape of Northern Ireland! It's hard to compare the scenery of the north and south but both in their own ways were equally perfect!
Belfast

It didn't occur to us how Belfast in Northern Ireland was a city with such recent history that is still evident in everyday life. Northern Ireland which is its own country is full of modern dayLæs mere
London, United Kingdom

From Ireland we flew to London where we spent three nights. It was nice relaxing and not doing any of the tourist things in the city which we've done previously. This time we focused our trip aroundLæs mere
Brugge: Beer, waffles and chocolate!

What more could anyone want from a city that has the best beer, waffles and chocolate?! This was our second visit to Brugge and it was just as great as we remembered. We love this city not only forLæs mere
Dusseldorf, Germany

Not much to report here. We spent a night in Dusseldorf and we weren't really impressed by the city. We did learn though that the drinking age in Germany is 16 years old and that there aren't any lawsLæs mere
Cologne, Germany

We were in Cologne for two nights at the first Airbnb we renteded on the trip. It was a nice change to have a little more space than just a hotel room but as Americans everything is just smaller to usLæs mere
Neuschwanstein Castle

We struggled getting up in time for this day trip from Munich after "briefly"checking out Oktoberfest the night before, but it was definitely worth the trip.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria built thisLæs mere
Oktoberfest

This was our longest stay in one city so far but it was much needed. Although we didn't do much besides attend Oktoberfest it was ok because we got such a local experience! There is no event thatLæs mere
Salzburg, Austria

It turns out we needed more recovery time than expected after Oktoberfest, as we started battling a cold in Mozart's hometown - Salzburg. We found out the hard way that no pharmacies or grocery storesLæs mere
Hallstatt, Austria

It took us 3 hours on the public bus to get to Hallstatt but it was totally worth it! The trip went by quickly even though we had to change buses 3 times since most of it was spent admiring the scenicLæs mere
Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

It's about 8:30pm as I am writing this post waiting for Mitch to wake up from a nap. I just took one before him when we came back from our walking tour of Vienna (that we'll write about later) whichLæs mere
Vienna, Austria

We're a little delayed on posting about Vienna but here it is. We enjoyed the city with beautiful weather our first day which made it even prettier to walk around. The city is full of beautifulLæs mere
Budapest, Hungary

It started out a bit rough in Budapest after going to the wrong area at first, but it proved to get better for us, and ultimately was a good time. A lot of that was credit to Burke's recommendationsLæs mere
