There are currently a shit load of things I need to do, including, but not limited to:  - Start packing and throwing things away, I have exactly one month to have everything ready for our move. - Edit all the pictures from our two weeks in the hospital, Avi took her camera and even though a lot of them are blurry, I need to fix the ones that aren't so I can share them with our family. and... - keep posting on the blog. So for today I decided I would join in on Travel Tuesday and write about our Paris walking tour, I haven't blogged about our trip around Europe in a while, i'm almost finished, but I figured I'd get back on the saddle with this post.  Paris was a city on our list of cities to visit in Europe and i'm glad we did. I love the walking tours because they take you to major landmarks but make little stops around the way. The Paris tour was really different to all the other ones we've taken, instead of taking you to see the eiffel tower the...

A year ago we were spending  8 days visiting 4 cities in Italy , out of which, exactly a year ago today I was celebrating my dad's birthday eating a burger at a restaurant in Florence. A little over a month ago we were there for the second time. We didn't go to that restaurant though, because the special from last year was no longer available. We got to see many of the same sites we had previously seen but the first time we went we didn't know it was possible to go up the dome. This time our main focus was just that, we bought tickets that included access to all the monuments in the Complex of Santa Maria del Fiore: Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistry of San Giovanni, the Crypt of Santa Reparata inside Florence Cathedral, and the Opera Museum and we began our visit around the city... Unfortunately the Opera museum was closed when we were there so we were unable to go inside, and the baptistry was completely covered ...

Happy Sunday! So later today we'll be going to meet up with other english speaking families in the northern part of Hamburg, it'll be fun! In todays post I will be talking about our recent visit to Montparnasse in Paris. After we took the walking tour we bought a ticket to go up; we figured it was a better option than going up the eiffel tower because we would be able to capture the tower amongst other Parisian beauties!

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!!!!

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...

Here we are back in Hamburg and like I said I would be, I am so far behind on my posts, I am slowly going to try to get all caught up, posting my travel updates on tuesdays and or sundays. today is the first time I link up with the #sundaytraveler, it'll be nice to catch up with other travelers during the week! Today's post is about what we saw in Edinburgh, Scotland.  Edinburgh was a really pretty city I liked the stories I heard about it, the castle (even though we didn't get to go up to it), the food (talk about finding Frank's Red Hot in the supermarket), and our hostel room, it had a kitchen and sauna in the bathroom.. okay fine, maybe not an actual sauna, but it was hottt in there! There sure was a lot of good things happening here! We arrived to Edinburgh (or Edinbvrgh as paula, our tour guide called it) a little before 11 am on June 18th. We then went to the hotel, stopping on the way for food [Subway for the win]. After checking in and get...
