At-A-Glance: London
We’re back in London! Thank goodness we got most of the touristy site seeing out of the way 3 weeks prior, this time we can at least slow things down a bit. So here it is, our London at-a-glance! See. Changing of the Guards. The guard change at Buckingham Palace starts promptly at 11:30am. However,… Read more…
A Fat Tire in Barcelona
The most fun you can have on two wheels in Barcelona, Spain! If you’re ever short on time and want a short, cost efficient, not to mention fun way to see Barcelona, this is it! Good thing I picked up a Fat Tire brochure after our day trippin’ in Fussen. By now, we’ve seen the Fat… Read more…

Food Trippin’ – Florence in Photos
Couldn’t even show you any pictures other than food even if we wanted to. So here is our visit to Florence.. in food. You see these everywhere.. waffles. On the whole, not bad. Fair warning, if they sit out for some time, they tend to firm up and become slightly inedible. Gelatos in Florence is… Read more…
The Best Thing I Ever Ate.. And the Worst – Pizza
Tell you a secret. Rome is home to the best pizza we’ve ever had. (Just don’t ask us where it’s from.) Serious talk. I wish I knew where, but it just happened without warning. I didn’t want to eat in Vatican City but we desperately needed to refuel. You try holding it together after a… Read more…

It was a full day bike/ walk tour– lunch and admission to… Read more…

The One with the Hooker in Amsterdam
Let’s be Frank, I came for Anne. (<< Did you get that? Ha!) OK that was sad, but pun intended aside, I really did come to Amsterdam for Anne Frank. Read the book, loved it and now that I’m so close, I can’t pass the opportunity. Sadly, for lack of better timing, we could not… Read more…
Pit Stop in Brussels, Belgium
Consider this another rookie mistake. Apparently booking two days early is considered two days too late for the Eurostar. We missed our opportunity to train to Paris. Instead, we rerouted the entire trip and headed in reverse to Brussels. We had a wonderful afternoon hanging out in and around the Grote Markt (Market Square)– a… Read more…
