It was Christmas Eve and we had arrived in Salzburg! What a beautiful town. We were slightly disappointed there was no Christmas snow but at least we were able to see some on magnificent mountains that surrounded us. We found our hotel with relative ease.....Salzburg public transportation was definitely lacking compared to the other cities we had been in and we did end up taking taxis to and from a few places….our little Christmas treat to ourselves J We ...

Well I am going to try to get my last few city blogs updated finally! From Prague we made our way to Munich for just a day and a half. Some how Rick made a huge missight and did not have a chapter on Munich so I was honestly at a little bit of a loss!

Vienna is a much larger city then I had expected. It was very mod...

It was dark, we had all of our luggage and too be honest the czech are a rough looking crowd... Getting to our hotels from the train stations is always a source of stress for us, new city, new language....and we have no idea where to go. We did know we had to get on the number 9 tram to ou...
