After Paris we had a short stop at the halfway house in England again after which we departed for our last stretch of winter abroad, Russia. Luckily for us, the extreme weather predictions of -20's was gone and Russia's spring started. We flew via Germany to Moscow. At the airport, we realised we never googled how to get to our pre-booked hotel in Moscow. Thank goodness for free wifi at the airport, so we figured out we had to take the 45min overland train into M...

Na n heerlike tyd in Frankryk was dit weer tyd vir n nuwe avontuur, Duitsland. Ons het besluit om 'n oornag bus te vat vanuit Reims na Mannheim in die suid-weste van Duitsland. Ons moes die bus net voor 12 uur die aand gekry het by die treinstasie. Probleem nommer 1, dit was vrek koud en probleem nommer 2, die treinstasie was al toe! Daar staan ons toe stoksielalleen met ons rugsakkies en wag! Gelukkig was daar 'n hotel naby waar ons kon koffie kry! Net na 12 si...

Dalk was dit omdat ons buite seisoen daar was of omdat ons beslis nie 'n Britse aksent het nie, ek weet nie, maar ons was onmiddelik mal oor die stad, behalwe vir ons eerste metro rit...Ons het met Eurorail van London af by Gare North aangekom, en op die ondergrondse trein gespring na Montmarte toe, waar ons plekkie was. 4 jong meisi...

We left the States with a picturesque flight through Iceland. It was beautiful out of the plane window, a big island of ice and snow! Maybe one day on round the world 2!! Catherine's pictures of their recent Iceland trip confirmed that it is truly a beautiful island to be explored! But our stop over was only 2 hours.We visited my cousins, Kim and Mark, which both live near Earsfield, London. It was so good to be with family and just to relax, without spending eve...
