Oh how the end of our trip came upon us so quickly! After an early and very very long ferry from Santorini to Athens (definitely flying next time), we arrived mid afternoon at the port and got a taxi to our hotel. This exchange didn't go down so well as our older taxi driver tried… Continue reading Athens

Mykonos and Santorini
The Greek Isles. You just can't describe them without using the word wow. Although we would have loved to visit every single one, we settled on the most well-known, popular and naturally the most expensive islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Arriving in Mykonos after an early 6am flight from Rome, we made our way to… Continue reading Mykonos and Santorini
Southern Italy
Pompeii. Sorrento. Capri. Amalfi. To say I was excited to tour the Amalfi Coast is an understatement. Made of bucket list dreams, we opted for a three day Italian Adventure tour through Busabout. Having already done tours through their sister companies Shamrocker Adventures and Haggis Adventures in Ireland and Scotland, we knew we were in… Continue reading Southern Italy
Rome
Roma. The ancient wonder. The living museum. Everywhere you look you are provided with another nod to the past, a constant reminder of how civilization has changed and evolved over thousands of years. Our trip began by seeing one of the most iconic buildings in Rome, the Colosseum. Bathed in early evening light, the Colosseum… Continue reading Rome
Florence and Pisa
After a great stay in Venice, another city for the history books was ready for us to explore, Florence. Like so many European cities, history is all around you as you walk along anicent cobblestoned streets. Marveling at the famous Ponte Vecchio or Golden Bridge, the famous Piazza del Duomo with the Cathedral of Santa… Continue reading Florence and Pisa
Venice
I have always wanted to go to Venice since forever. Seeing it in a thousand movies and being a backdrop in countless books drove my fascination and yearning to see it for myself. The city itself certainly did not disappoint. A myriad of canals encircled a vibrant hub of activity as we stepped off a… Continue reading Venice
Munich
We had a very mixed experience in Munich but for a very important reason. We loved Munich, even more than Berlin (sorry Berliners, we still love you!), but our visit to Munich also involved a day at Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial. More about our time there soon. On a happier note, we were able to… Continue reading Munich
Salzburg
The hills are alive with the sound of my excitement at how pretty this Austrian town is. Extremely picturesque everywhere you looked, I also got to enjoy this town on my birthday. The extra wrinkles aren't so bad when you get to enjoy this place (added bonus of 28 degree Celsius weather which never happens… Continue reading Salzburg
Vienna
The best way to describe Vienna is that it has the buildings and architecture or facade of Prague but the grit and character of Berlin. And it quickly solidified itself amongst one of our favourites. After a four hour train ride from Prague, we checked in to a very homely Airbnb to the northeast of… Continue reading Vienna
Prague
I had been told by multiple people who have travelled around Europe say that Prague is their favourite. I can understand why. It is probably what a lot of Aussies picture when you think of what a typical European town would look like. While our stay was brief, we got to enjoy a large part… Continue reading Prague
