Ok I’m like several posts behind in my blogging and I really should be getting sleep but I’m just way to excited and anxious about tomorrow. After a lot of planning and anticipation our vacation is finally here. Barbara and I are going on a 3 1/2 week trip to Europe and we fly out tomorrow morning!
We don’t have a structured pre-booked itinerary to follow. All we have is our airplane tickets and a couple of Eurail passes so it should be a pretty amazing adventure.
This is what we are hoping for: We fly into Milan-Italy, check out the Last Supper painting and then immediately hop on a train to the Cinque Terra (five bordering towns that are built into the cliffsides along the mediterranean coast). There we plan to hike on the “Lover’s Walk” trail that connects all five of the towns before we catch another train to our next destination, Venice. I’m super excited about Venice, because even though I’ve already been Barbara hasn’t yet so it should prove to be really romantic for us. ;) After that we’re off to Munich-Germany for Oktoberfest, then Prague-Czech Republic and then Vienna-Austria! All of that should take us about 2 weeks. Our final destination will be Croatia. Barb’s father is Croatian so she has a lot of family still living there who we hope to meet. It should be an interesting experience considering they don’t speak English and we don’t speak Croatian! We hope to stop in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, Split and Dubrovnik, which is supposedly breathtakingly beautiful. Whew… None of the trip is certain so I’ll have to keep you posted regarding what really happens with our travels. Hopefully I’ll get to stop by the occasional internet cafe to update my blog!
Ok…I’m getting sleepy. Bye for now.
