... along the way we had a play snowball fight...Only in Europe :) We arrived to our fabulous hotel in Vienna (Event Hotel Pyramide) late afternoon. It had lots of great amenities like a pool spa, sauna etc...It is also right across the road from ...

... so that I will no longer be spending all of my spending money for transportation.  When I took the taxi from Vienna to the Hotel Pyramide last night it only cost 18 Eur...this morning when I tried to take one from the hotel to my new hotel in inner ...

The hotel we are staying at is enormous, with a huge pool and a decent breakfast. And wireless! We had a pretty early breakfast and hit the road at 8:30 to do a tour around Vienna on the bus, then a walking tour. From here we went to the Swarovski store ...

Today started with a drive through the mountains on our way to Vienna. Along the way we hit some snow and the driving got a little slow for a while. It turned back into rain and was dry by the time we got to our hotel. We had to quickly get changed for ...

We had decided to do Schonbrun Palace and the Opera house as an optional excursion whilst in Vienna, as I had liked it alot the last time and Dan thought it would be good. The 7.30am time departure had deterred alot of the others, and as a consequence ...

I was woken this morning from a dream, and really didn't feel like getting up..half asleep we battled the shower, which I forgot to mention didn't have a shower curtain and a floppy hand held shower nozzle. So as a result we had a flood of the bathroom ...

Spent most of yesterday traveling on the bus to Vienna, Austria, with the usual stop offs. Arrived at our hotel which was nice-was in the shape of a pyramid. Had dinner at a vineyard with musicians. Food was OK. Nothing to rave about. Went to a classical ...

Another day, another city to explore. We all set off on the bus to Vienna. Today Leonie and I headed off together leaving the boys to do their own thing. We still hadn't found a body piercing shop for Leonie, so we headed off in search of ...

Today was another long travel day, however unlike the last travel day; this one didn't start so well. After the standard continental breakfast, we all packed our bags and headed to the bus. Everything was going smoothly until I realised my charm bracelet ...

We left Budapest early this morning.  It was an interesting and beautiful that we hope to return to some day.  There was so much to see that we just seemed to scratch the surface in our two day visit.  On our drive to Austria, we learned ...

Salina: Our hotel was promoted as this tour's featured hotel, but it is very inconvenient for travelers who needed efficiency over space. Breakfast was located at a conference area very far away from our room.  Even though there were a lot of food ...

We arrived in Vienna and it was snowing and freezing! We went past the places where the Sound of Music was filmed like the mountain and the church they were married in, while our tour guide played all the songs. We looked at the Hapsburg Palace and then ...

Well it seems the trip is on the last bend. The tour ends next Thursday and I will be back in England for a few days before going home for Thanksgiving. These last 2 weeks of the trip we will have traveled through 12 countries and have seen many ...

This morning we headed south through the Czech countryside to Austria's capital Vienna. We stopped at possibly the most random place ever…Excalibur City (not sure if that’s what its actual name is)…it is on the border of Czech Republic ...

Hey hey.... First stop after we got onto the bus was in a little town called Innsbruck. Itīs famous for a golden roof and nearly everywhere you move around the town you can still see the amazing snow capped mountains in the background. Innsbruck is ...

Well, we finally got here after our harrowing experience of almost missing our flight from Paris we were the last ones on the plane with no one else in sight at the gate.  All of this was due to the security officers strike and there being only ...
