The beautiful Borromean Islands are located in the middle of Lake Maggiore, to the north of Milan in Italy. Known for their unique architecture and stunning gardens, there are three Borromean Islands: Isola Bella, Isola Pescatori (also called Isola Superiore) and...
Eurotrip 2019 On our last full day in Europe for 2019 we woke up in Saalbach-Hinterglemm in the Austrian Alps. We had terrible weather the whole time we were there, so it was so nice to see a glimpse of blue sky. We packed the car up and headed off right after...
Eurotrip 2019 Saalbach-Hinterglemm is this amazing little town in the middle of the Austrian Alps. I would love to claim I had discovered this little gem all by myself, but that’s not the case. My cousin Emma found it a few years ago, and since then this has...
Eurotrip 2019 Our drive into Slovenia had us arriving into Bled just as the sun was going down. We had taken the scenic route for most of the drive from Hallstatt in Austria, until going up and down hills and hairpin bends got a bit much (spectacular scenery though!)...
Eurotrip 2019 When I first started planning this trip to Europe, Hallstatt was one of the first places added to the list of places I wanted to go to. There are so many beautiful photos if this picturesque lakefront town floating around, I just had to go and see it for...
Eurotrip 2019 Our arrival at our hotel in Salzburg set the tone for our stay there! I had again struggled with the decision where to stay in Salzburg. Almost two years earlier we had spent an afternoon in Salzburg, exploring the city between trains. I remembered the...
Eurotrip 2019 I was looking forward to getting to Munich. Not just because I was looking forward to all the cool things there are to do in the city, but because I was also looking forward to spending four nights in the one spot. Moving every day or two is only...
Eurotrip 2019 We were rushing as we arrived in Füssen, Germany. We were staying at the Hotel Restaurant Alatsee, and on Mondays and Tuesdays their hotel and restaurant close at 4:30, so we had to be there by then to check in. We made it with only minutes to spare, and...
Eurotrip 2019 We were travelling from Liechtenstein to Füssen in Germany, but since I had been so successful with it over the last few days, I had again told Google Maps to send us on roads without tolls. This was making our journeys much longer, but often it would...
Eurotrip 2019 Liechtenstein is one of the tiniest countries in the world. Nestled between Switzerland and Austria, it is only about 25km long and 12km wide. It has a population to match of only around 40000 people, but don’t be fooled, this country is a...
Eurotrip 2019 When I added Lucerne and Interlaken, Switzerland, to our itinerary, I imagined sparkling snow covered peaks, blue skies and spring flowers adorning the lower slopes. After all, we were going to be there in May, so I didn’t think this would be too...
Eurotrip 2019 We continued on from our travels in the Black Forest into the Alsace region of France. I didn’t know a whole lot about this area. I had heard of Colmar and that was about it. When our German friends suggested we should include it as part of our...
