Krakow is wonderful. The drive to it from Budapest was interesting...mainly 2 lane mountain roads until we got close to Krakow...But I drove like a native and passed every truck in my way! (: Slovakia seems to have more remnants of the Soviet Union than Hungary or Poland along the countryside...and we saw many more … Continue reading
Budapest...my first impression was quite rough...CRAZY DRIVERS!!! I'm glad we’ve parked the car and won’t use it until we leave for Poland...But honestly, my 1st impression was not so positive...maybe because sooo many people talked it up before I came...or maybe I had preconceived notions of it...But mainly because we had been traveling the last … Continue reading BUDAPEST A CITY FULL OF HISTORY AND BEAUTY

It's sweet in it's appeal and similar to many cafe laced cities throughout Europe...there are stores and cafes lining the very narrow streets...an area where pedestrians can enjoy a stroll without benefit of being run down by speeding vehicles...although you could lose a limb to … Continue reading SALZBURG IS MORE THAN JUST “THE SOUND OF MUSIC!”

Arriving in Bangkok was easier than I anticipated...not as easy as Singapore definitely not as confusing as Kathmandu, The first thing that has struck me about Bangkok is how modern and industrialized it is. There are 11 million people who live just in Bangkok. It stands in complete contrast to Kathmandu. When we drove out … Continue reading BANGKOK IN A NUTSHELL
Yesterday I continued on my Temple visits...I went to Ta Prohm, the temple used in that "Not to be missed classic:'Tomb Raider"(please know I am joking...other than the scenes of Cambodia that movie was a miss!!!)...that temple is being taken over by the jungle surrounding it...it is beautiful and eerie at the same time...as … Continue reading A FLOATING VILLAGE AND MORE TEMPLES IN CAMBODIA
Before I tell you about Cambodia, let me reiterate how wonderful Thailand was...on one of the last days we swam into a cave...completely, pitch black...the guide had a small flashlight that he kept pointing to the ceiling to show us the bats...the current was strong, so I got a good workout...eventually we ended up in … Continue reading A CAMBODIAN ADVENTURE
