NOTE: we have been having some problems with our server. I could not get on to post for a few days. Also, some have said that they are not able to leave comments and bring up larger pictures from the gallery. I think these problems still exist and we will try to fix them but […]

Trick Fountains and Mozart
We get up planning to catch an 0825 bus from the train station to Hellbrunn Castle. We are out the door a little before 0800. I had asked the desk clerk if there was a stop nearer than the station and she told me Keisler near the mall. As we approach The corner of Keisler, […]
The Hills are Alive
We plan to catch the 0810 boat out of town for the 0828 train to Salzburg. We grab a few pastries from the local bakery on the way. The ride and connection goes smoothly and we are in Salzburg at 1048. We stop at the Tourist Information place to get a city map and while […]
Hiking in Hallstatt
We sleep in today catching up on our rest. We walk up the block to get some coffee and pastries for breakfast in our room. I catch up on the website entries and Carol catches up on her social life and e mails. We finally leave the room about 1145 and head out for some […]
From One Lake to Another
I start the day off with a tactical error. The alarm goes off but Carol does not wake up and put it on snooze like she usually does. I decide to let her sleep another 20 minutes. Not a good choice as after breakfast she stresses out because we have to rush a bit to […]
Day at Lake Bled
I try and sleep in but fail. Carol is more successful until I can not stay still any longer and nudge her out of bed. We have an included breakfast and go down to check it out. There are scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, and little hot dogs. The usual cold cuts, cheese, bread, and […]
Slow Day to Slovenia
Today will be along travel day. We are ready to be picked up at our coordinated time of 0740. Marija’s husband Philip picks us up and we are at the train station by 0800, giving us 30 minutes until our train leaves. I confirm the platform and track with the ticket lady and we go […]
Time to Split
We wake up to the sound of rain. That makes us slow down a little in getting ready to go out. By the time we have coffee and get our things together, the rain has stopped and the sky is improving. We take the short walk to one of the entrances into Diocletians Palace. Diocletian […]
Plitvice National Park
The whole reason I ever had Croatia on my list is a result of pictures I saw years ago of Plitvice Lakes National Park. Today we are taking a tour there. I looked into doing this ourselves but the bus network did not look safe to try because of schedule and forums that said sometimes […]
Another Croatia Bus Adventure
Ana arrives promptly at 0830 to drive us to the bus station. She tells us she enjoyed our company and can tell we enjoy life and are very simple, easy, people. We arrive at the bus station a little early for our 0920 bus. This is by design. Unfortunately, two nights ago, Carol realized that […]
