Cairo, Egypt
Salam ‘alaykum from Cairo, Egypt! After the longest, bumpiest, 2 hour flight from Athens, we have arrived in Cairo, Egypt. We’re Actually Here! I cannot believe we are here. Learning about the Egyptians in school was my favorite. I’ve always been in such awe of the pyramids and the ancient-ness of it all (does that […]
Athens, Greece
Yiasso! From Athens, Greece We flew into Athens, Greece after quite the debacle in the airport in Santorini. Apparently for our airline, we were supposed to check in 72 hours before departure. Say what? Clearly we didn’t know that was required, so we were hit with all of these extra charges. What was once the […]
Santorini, Greece
Yassou from Santorini, Greece! After a long travel day, we arrived in Santorini in the middle of the night. Landing in Santorini, Greece was one of the more scarier moments of my life. I am not a fan of flying. The landing strip is located directly next to the water, it almost looks as if […]
Venice, Italy
Ciao from Venezia! After a lovely 3 hour train ride, we have arrived in Venice, Italy. As soon as you exit the Santa Lucia station, you are welcomed by the beautiful Venetian Lagoon and the Grand Canal. Water taxis and the water boat, or the “vaporetto”, are docked out front waiting for business. We bought […]
Rome, Italy
Ciao from Rome, Italy! We arrived in Rome well rested and ready to go after our amazing overnight train! Walking out of the station, we were greeted by the heat. It was early in the day and it was already hot and starting to get humid. It was going to be a long day! Where […]
Florence, Italy
Buongiorno from Florence, Italy! Florence. Oh Florence, Italy. Our sleeper city. This place surprised us the most out of any other country we have ever been to. Most likely because we did not know much about it. We knew it was where Machiavelli was from. The end. I’m not even sure I looked at a […]
Pisa, Italy
Buon Pomeriggio from Pisa, Italy! We arrived in Pisa, Italy after a 4 hour train ride from Rome. The Italian countryside is breathtaking. I was planning on getting in a nap on the ride over, but I couldn’t stop staring out the window. Vineyards and small towns dotted the green hills. Every day has been […]
Vienna, Austria
Guten Tag from Vienna, Austria! We woke up in Budapest and caught a 2.5 hour train to Wien HBF, Vienna,Austria. We had almost 6 hours here before we got on to our next, and final, overnight train of the trip! This is a great way to get a sneak peek at a new country. Planning […]
Budapest, Hungary
Szia from Budapest, Hungary! We arrived in Budapest, Hungary at the Kelenfold station via a 6 hour train ride from Zagreb, and what a beautiful journey it was. Glued to our windows the entire trip, we passed through Slovenia and saw some of the bluest lakes we’ve ever seen, this unreal turquoise color. They were […]
Plitvice Lakes, Croatia
Welcome to Plitvice Lakes National Park! Plitvice Lakes, Croatia has been at the top of Seth’s bucket list since he first started making a bucket list. The pictures of the water and the waterfalls here have been his desktop picture for as long as I can remember. We rented a car to get here today, […]
