Rafner took precious time out of … Continue reading Reykjavik Wanderings and Such
VIENNA, THE CITY FOR EXPLORING
Well Vienna is fabulous...incredible..I was in my own personal heaven wandering through their wonderful art museums...We used the personal audio tour and off we went into a world of art dating from the Egyptian period...the Flemish, Danish, Italians etc...A good art museum, for me, is equal to a great meal... Vienna is a wonderful pedestrian … Continue reading VIENNA, THE CITY FOR EXPLORING
SLOVAKIA IS FOR THE ADVENTUROUS
After our visit to Auschwitz, our drive out of Poland was quiet because we were both unnerved and dazed...eventually the conversation picked up as we got a little lost...we eventually stopped to asked for directions in Slovakia. We quickly learned that Slovakians really don't speak ANY English...another adventure: Language..up until now most people spoke enough..and … Continue reading SLOVAKIA IS FOR THE ADVENTUROUS
AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU IS SOBERING
Our trip to Auschwitz -Birkenau was sobering...What a staggeringly Horrific place...it was so overwhelming...but the din of tour buses helped distract my mind from the horrific scenes I kept imagining as I walked the camp...the throngs of tourists are a negative and a positive...on the negative side, it seems a bit disrespectful to the 1.5 … Continue reading AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU IS SOBERING
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 A CITY FULL OF HISTORY AND BEAUTY
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

We stayed at a farmhouse B&B … Continue reading SLOVENIA IS A HIT!
SALZBURG IS MORE THAN JUST “THE SOUND OF MUSIC!”
Salzburg is a typical European City that caters to tourists. 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!”
A LITTLE BIT MORE ON WALES
Just a really quick one because as with all Hilton's they charge a pretty penny for this service (10 pennies a minute..in English pennies)...we are staying at the airport Hilton because we are off very early 4:30am check in tomorrow for Austria... Wales was fabulous...amazing walking and hiking(Mt Snowdonia is where Sir Edmund Hillary trained … Continue reading A LITTLE BIT MORE ON WALES
