Get to the Choppa! Austria We Go!

Vienna, Austria was ok. Again, we had limited time here but it gave me a “just another old European city” vibe: lots of old buildings and history but no “wow” factor. Nothing that I could not stop staring at and nothing that I was excited to see (re: St. Stephen’s Cathedral was definitely quite beautiful). It is an old sleepy city in a way, where you walk and gawk, eat supper and go to bed early. We don’t want to...

Budapest, Hungary: Fisherman’s Bastion

Budapest was excellent, I loved our Airbnb because of the A-C. I didn’t realize that you can’t live without A-C. It makes a HUGE difference. My favourite day in Budapest was when we hiked up to this beautiful castle. When I was in the moment hiking up it I was miserable. It was so hot out and walking up you would be sweating so hard that you could fill up a whole 1,000,000,000,000 water bottles full of sweat. But we...

Budapest, Hungary

Budapest was so good. I loved it so much. It was my 2nd favourite city so far. It had so much fun stuff to do and it was just so great. The first day we just chilled and didn’t really do much. We went out for brunch and then chilled in our apartment. We walked around later that day and just. mainly had a chill day we need sometimes. The next day was my favourite day. We went to these...

Buda-Pesh

Buda-Pesh…still feels weird saying it that way, but do as the Hungarians do, right? I remember Kelly Schwartz, who served here in the past with the Canadian Infantry and called it Buda-Pesh. I asked him finally, “why do you say it like that?” His response, “that’s how you properly say it”… I had no clue what to expect from Budapest. Honesty, I dropped it on the itinerary as we were close to it from a destination we wanted to see,...

Prague, Czechia Republic: Petrin Tower

Prague was really cool. My favourite thing there was, probably our Airbnb. It had two levels and had A-C. Me and my sister had a room downstairs, but it was way too hot, so we slept up in my mom and dad’s room that had A-C for all the nights. For some reason, I have the best sleeps on the floor. On the first full day in Prague we looked at all the artwork, this weird clock, and went to...
