  • Haggis Bus Tour.1

    7 de maio de 2018, Escócia ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Today, I started the bus tour of Scotland. This part of the trip I’m doing solo.

    So far, we stopped in a small town for a washroom break and saw some highland cows.

    Our next stop was a walk through the Tay Forest Park called the Craigvinean. It was a man-made park with many Douglas Fir trees. I love all the mossy rocks and trees. The waterfall here was small but pretty.

    We stopped for lunch in a small town called Dunkeld where we saw the Dunkeld Cathedral.

    Not a good day today.

    In a nutshell, the bus got sideswiped by another bus., smashing one of the door windows. Finally got another bus, but an accident on the way there blocked our route so we had to go around the lakes which added another 2 hours to our already late day.

    We haven’t eaten and the driver seems to be on a mission to get back to our hostel, forgetting that nature calls.

    It’s been 14 hours today. Mostly on the bus. By far the worst day on my trip. It happens I get it.

    As long as we are safe, right.

  • Salzburg, Austria.1

    12 de maio de 2018, Áustria ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    After a little fiasco with my tickets and planning I was able to get on the Salzburg day tour. I messed up my dates and thought I was leaving on Tuesday to Prague. I know....that’s not like me! I was going to do the concentration camp today. I even bought the ticket. Guess that will have to be for another time I visit.

    I’m very exited to visit Salzburg. It will be a full day with a late arrival. It’s going to also be sunny all day which means AMAZiNG pictures.

    It’s quiet hot. The tour was more ‘informational’ and where to go to eat, what to visit, prices of things (all overpriced of course). It’s Saturday so it is inundated with tourists here. There is also lots of construction too.

    It’s a beautiful city. Expensive and touristy, but I feel like in this day and age, anywhere you go is that way!

  • Destination: Prague.1

    14 de maio de 2018, República Checa ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    I usually travel with a plane or train but when I booked my travel to Prague, it didn’t give me an option for the train which I thought was strange. Instead it gave me a bus (Flixbus). So, I’m taking a 5 hour bus trip to Prague today.

    Traveling is exhausting. I will need to have a few days to recoup when I get home. A vacation from my vacation.

    I will likely just walk around a little today after I check in to my hotel.

  • Destination: Prague.2

    14 de maio de 2018, República Checa ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Wow. Prague is so beautiful. I took a walk around the tourist filled streets. You can’t take a bad picture here.

    I gave in and had a TRDLO. It’s like a cone but made of dough, put in a rotisserie and then sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. It can be filled with different things. I chose apple and whip cream. Needless to say, I’m not very hungry right now. It was delicious and filling. I guess I had dessert for dinner!!Leia mais

  • Walking Tour in Prague.1

    15 de maio de 2018, República Checa ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    I had the 3 hour walking tour today. The guide was great. He gave a overview of the history and of different attractions in Prague. Just in the last 15 minutes of the tour it started to rain. My the time I got back to the hotel, I was soaking wet. Aww well. It can’t be sunny all the time. I didn’t bring my umbrella either. Mental note.....always bring an umbrella.Leia mais

  • B2B (Back to Berlin)

    17 de maio de 2018, República Checa ⋅ 🌧 11 °C

    I’m heading back to Berlin today. It was pouring rain this morning at 5:30 am and I got pretty wet as I walked to the train station, even with an umbrella.

    The train was on time. I have one more day in Berlin but I’m heading to the hotel when I arrive to get settled in. Jason is on a road trip with his brother or I would have connected with him. The hotel is close to the airport so it will be a quick jaunt to catch my flight.

    I had to wait til 2:00 for check in. Ugh. The last thing you want to do after traveling is wait. I’ve had my share of waiting in the past month. I’m a patient man but I can see why people become impatient!

    I’ll roam around the hotel area. There is a shopping mall and some shops too. I want a good nights rest so no partying tonight....I haven’t really partied on my trip.
