We arrived in Berlin around 11am to find it snowing. Well you can imagine how happy that made us. Better late than never. Caught a bus to our hotel. We were going to leave our bags as we were told our room wasn't ready, but as we sat down to figure out where to head to, a room became available which was handy. We paid a little extra here for some more space and have a lovely room, overlooking the courtyard, although we've never known a heater to put out so much h...

3 pairs of socks, merino wool long johns, trousers, singlet, 3 long sleeve tops of varying merino wool warmth, fleece and down jacket, scarf, gloves and hat....and still cold. That was me on Saturday night in Prague. It was a cold weekend.....and yet no snow. That came this morning as we walked to the train station to leave for our next destination. Currently on the train to Dresden and it is another white winter landscape outside as we pass by. Probably the last...

It is 10pm on Christmas Day and objective achieved. We got snow on Christmas Day. It would have been nice if it started 3 days ago but we will take what we can get. We arrived here about 7pm on Monday night and were picked up at the train station for the 2min drive to the hotel (which was nice not having to lug the baggage). Our room feels like a mini apartment, all it is missing is the kitchen. I said to mum I feel like we are walking down the hallway and off to...

Well we were only in Salzburg for about of a total of 52hrs (including sleep time) but we fit in as much as we could in that time. Currently sitting on the train to Seefeld where we will be having a lovely 4 nights over Christmas. Out the window is mountain peak after mountain peak, some with snow and the sun is setting (although it is only 4.30pm) leaving streaks of pink amongst the clouds. On Saturday morning, we caught a 7am train out of Budapest. It was a 5...
