Two Days is Too Short for Vienna
With only 2 nights left before we had to drive home we woke up early to drive to Vienna. Within one hour we reached the outskirts of the city, but since this capital is way bigger than Bratislava traffic was terrible here. When we had located the street of our apartment we also had a … Continue reading
Three Days in Bratislava
To be honest, Bratislava was not the first city that came to my mind when we were planning our trip. We knew we wanted to see Poland this year and only because the price of our holiday home was quite high we decided to only stay there one week. Obviously we weren’t going home after … Continue reading
A Week in Poland
July the 9th until July the 16th: A week full of nature, sun and impressive sights! We spent two days hiking in the mountains that surround our apartment and both walks were amazing.

Istanbul is Amazing!
June 23rd: We arrived with a small delay a little before noon in Istanbul. We were hungry and decided to grab a Turkish pizza with Helle at one of the many restaurants located around the station.
