Guten Tag!
The first leg of our travel to Africa is nearly complete. We arrived in Frankfurt yesterday morning at 11:00am local time. After several laps around the airport we found the baggage storage and the train station. We hopped on a standing room only bombardier (200km/hr train!) and made our way […]
Sarah and I have now booked our flights to Africa for this June/July. Oh man, we are so stoked!
We’ve booked a 4 week trip to South Africa and Madagascar and Tanzania for this Summer. We got a fine deal on flights with Emirates Air, $1900 plus tax each. This will fly us from Calgary through […]
We’re home and our trip has drawn to a close. It was such a great time.
Our last couple days in Rome were pretty fun. We checked out the old Roman stuff which took most of the day, and the next day we rode a bus and saw the Trevi Fountain (you know, 3 […]
Yesterday we toured the Vatican museums and city. We spent 7 hours looking around! Needless to say we were exhausted by the end. It was pretty cool. We saw Leonardo DaVinci, Raphael, Michelangelo and many other famous artists works. At first the Sistine Chapel was not as exciting as I […]
We have now arrived in Rome, our final city in Italy, before heading back to Canada with a stop in Denmark for a couple days.
The last couple nights were spent camping in Siena, south of Firenze in Tuscane. We had a really good time. Had one of the best Italian meals we’ve had […]
A Rio is a river street as they call them here in Venezia (Venice). We had some pasta and wine as the taxi boat motored and gondola’s paddled past last night.
Our camping ground is like a youth hostel, lots of young people, partying at the bar. We set up our tent too close […]
My first weblog in Italy and we’ve already been here for a week. We started off in Pisa after spending the night in the Girona airport (1 hr from Barcelona). Needless to say we didn’t get too much sleep. But we quickly found a beautiful pensione in Pisa to rest. […]
In the youth hostel in Barcelona we stayed one night. A weird night.
This youth hostel had magnetic key cards which I hadn’t seen before. Anyway, the keys sometimes didn’t work, and in the one night we stayed there, we had to get our cards re-magnetized a couple times, as some of the other […]
It is our last day in Spain. This time tomorrow we will be exploring Pisa, Italy! Hard to believe that our journey in Spain is coming to an end.
Last night we met up with my mom and dad as they are in Spain as well. We went with them to […]
Sarah and I are now in Barcelona after spending yesterday in San Sebastian and taking a night train back to the Mediteranean.
San Sebastian was pretty and was quite enjoyable, really glad we went… althought the weather wasn’t sunny, this the first time on our trip.
We took a railcar up to a peak overlooking […]
