Travel Fail from Füssen to Munich.

Image
Today I'm linking up with travel Tuesday with Sara's prompt of: " Although traveling can provide some of the best experiences/memories, it’s not ALWAYS fun and games. What is your worst travel experience? Or most embarrassing experience? Or biggest #travelfail? Where were you and what happened?" ...with the most recent travel fail. We spent this past Sunday isiting Füssen and the castles there (mainly Neuschwanstein) and it was a great day (more on that in a future post). We decided to head back to Munich no later than 7pm. By the time we got to the bus stop, to head to the train station, it was 7:05 and we had to wait around 10 minutes for the next one. We took it and arrived at the train station at 7:25 and saw that the next train was at 8:33. The sad news is that it was not a direct train, we would have to change twice, in _ and Geltendorf. But anyways, we had to wait an hour and were going to arrive at Munich's central station at 10:30 pm,...

A day trip to Heidelberg

Image
I've decided to catch you up on what we did in the cities we visited near Kaiserslautern while living there.  The first day trip we took was to Mannheim, but it was a quick one, we had an appointment at hospital and that's basically all we did, so it doesn't really count since Avi and I didn't do much exploring. But it all changed once Pablo got his job ticket the first place we wanted to see was Heidelberg, since many people had mentioned this pretty city and its castle to us. With recommendations like that what more can you ask for!? As soon as we arrived we took a bus to the Altstadt (which was the last stop) and looked for a place to eat. Then we walked around and made the hike up to the castle's garden for what could have been a great view of the city, if only we had visited on a non-rainy day! Here are some random snapshots from the day: and a sideways one so you can do today's neck exercise :). we focuse...

Luminacia - Paseo Santa Lucia

A few days into our trip in Monterrey I noticed a hunch of my friends posting pictures with this particular lit up cattle in the back ground.  During dinner one day, my mother in law mentioned that we should go to Luminacia.. So we took off one evening and it was quite a view!

A London tour.

Image
Hello & Happy Sunday to you!! We are more than half way done with July, only eleven days left, how was it been treating you? Lol, I'm in a good mood today & I will continue writing about our recent trip to London! I feel that even though the Harry Potter tour was better, I will post this one first since it happened first.  The New London tour lasted a little close to 3 hours and started at Covent garden. Our group was awesome, but I don't know if it was because our guide, Steph, made us introduce ourselves to someone on the tour we didn't know (we were all talking with each other instead of the usual mind your own and walk) or because everyone was around my age (haha, not really, a little younger) but still it felt nice. Godzillaa!!!!

A London recap

Image
When visiting London for the first time you want to be prepared. In our case we only had three days to explore this city and wanted to make the most of it. We got to visit many different areas and some were even visited twice. Kathryne made me a detailed guide for our trip. With a short survey she made it fit to what we liked and wanted to see in each city.  We definitely took advantage of it and were guiding ourself with it as soon as we arrived. Our first full day there we took SANDEMANs New London Tour, which is the same one as the one we took in Prague & Edinburgh , but that'll be in a separate post.  During our free time (not with guides) in London we walked around the London Bridge and took pictures with the Tower bridge. Our hotel was in Greenwich, it was two stops away from London bridge when taking southeastern. Of course we wouldn't miss out on the fun and took a picture with the telephone booth with the big ben in the backgro...

Me vs. the trip to Falun

Image
Hey all, this is my first ever #TravelTuesday post, and I will write about our trip to Falun, Sweden last September. We went there since my brother in law was visiting for work. We found a super cheap flight from RyanAir and visited Sweden for a four day weekend (more like two full days and two travel days). We arrived at Nykoping at 4:40 pm on a Thursday & from there took a shuttle bus from Nykoping to Stockholm. Walked around (near the train station since we were on a schedule) found something to eat and then got on a train that took us to Borlänge and from there took a bus to Falun.  Friday Morning while Chuy was working we got to explore the city, w e asked at the hotel for a tourist pamphlet, they gave us one and we followed the advice and went for a stroll around the lake and took some pictures and then visited the coal mines. Once we arrived at the mines we asked for information, we were unfortunately to late to take the tour that would tak...
