Europe Trip 2007

June 21-22: We left on the plane and got to Vienna in 9 hours or so. We got the rental car and visited the town of Mikulov before heading to my uncle's wedding hotel, the Hotel Moravia

June 23: This was the wedding of my Uncle Paul to our new Aunt Marcella. I gotta say she is the nicest girl I've ever seen him with and I hope it lasts!

June 24: Today we went to the most famous caves in Moravia, Punkva Caves. This is where a famous Abyss resides called the Macocha (=Step Mother in Czech). It looks nice but the picture my sister took sucks, sorry :-(

June 25: This was Prague Day. We visited the city and took lots of pictures. It was a cool city to visit, I recommend it to everyone.

June 26: This was Dresden day. We visited the museums there and saw Raffael's Cistine Madonna (the one with those little angels in the bottom).

June 27: Today we went to Karlovy Vary, the famous spa city of Czech. Some nice sights as always, the Europeans really know how to do fine architecture.

June 28: It was time to leave Czech Republic behind and go to Germany. We had lunch with dad's old college buddy and headed to the grandparents. We probably did something else today besides that but I've forgotten already :-(

June 29: We went to Stuttgart in the morning and to some relatives in the afternoon. Also saw my grandpa's gardens.

June 30: We headed down south-east to view the Neuschwanstein Castle and Hohenschwangau. At the end of the day we rested at a bed & breakfast in Berchtesgaden.

July 1: We went up to Hitler's old house, the Eagle's Nest, and saw a great view of some of the Alps. Then in the afternoon we visited the Salt Mines, which was pretty cool.

July 2: We took the long trip from Salzburg to Vienna. This took roughly 3 hours by car. By the end of this week my dad was tired from driving so many kms. The plane trip lasted long too, about 10 hours or so in total and by the time I got home I was dead tired.

hopefully I'll post more pictures of my trip once Anna lets me have them.
