Colmar

Upon arriving to Colmar we were greeted by a severe storm. No worries, we just waited it out in a cafe, then went exploring! The city is just stunning, with the typical Alsatian style on a larger scale. We found a nice little artisan show, wandered the old streets, and checked through the city’s amazing covered market. We ventured through the Fishmonger District and Petite Venise, two of the most beautiful areas we’ve ever been through, and ended up at the quirky House of Heads!

Good morning Zurich! I got to cook in our little apartment kitchen before we set out to explore! We had some amazing coffee at a famous Zurich cafe, and then explored the pristine train station. After a bit of a freak out over finding something from our favorite brewery ever, we took a relaxing walk through the park along the river.

New Year's Day in Vienna

Last night was a late one, so we slept in a little on New Year's Day.  It was our last day in Vienna, so we did need to force ourselves up and pack.  We left our happy little room behind and took that long winding staircase down to the lobby.  Good we were able to leave our bags to spend the day unburdened.  We headed out for breakfast and stopped at a place called Point of Sale.  My dad actually knows the owner, but we knew he wasn't around so didn't bother asking.   We never met him before anyway.  His place did have a great breakfast though – ham and eggs, rolls, orange juice, and of course some melange.  All so good!

After the big party and waltz that is the New Year celebration, Vienna has a...

Bratislava Pt. 2

Surprised at how empty the city seemed, we ventured off to find some excitement. A nice market lined street and cross over the river eventually led us to the UFO. Beam us up!! After surviving our abduction and braving the frigid wind for an outstanding view, we sought out an amazing little restaurant that was well worth the effort!

Vienna

We're back in Vienna! We truly love this city. After a tasty breakfast and some language issues, we stroll through the Nachtmarkt, ogle some impressive architecture, and find my dad's old apartment! We stand at the steps of the Rahlgasse, which we climbed at the very start of our travels and relationship. We journey through the life of Egon Schiele at the Leopold Museum, where I take a liking to a certain naked lady, before heading out to the park and a cafe hunt!
