ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
More than two years ago, we visited Bologna for the first time. While we had a wonderful time during our few days in town, but our visit was cut short because my dad got sick. We have been awaiting our return to this beautiful city to enjoy its charms.
During our week in Bucharest, we decided to carve out a day to tour the Carpathian Mountains, about 2.5 hours north of the capital. It was an interesting day, visiting Dracula’s Castle and Peles Castle with a final stop at the popular enclave of Brasov.
In the Budapest article, we told you about everything we did in the city including the tour offered as part of our Viking cruise. So this article is just about the cruise itself and how we came to be on the Viking Lif.
Although our last post had us in Vienna, our blog updates are always behind our actual travels. As I write this, I’m in Bordeaux, France, having just finished an inexpensive, one-way, two-week car rental starting in Nice. I want to share my experience to help you plan your own epic European road trip.
Following our busy remodeling and upgrade efforts at our condo in Playa del Carmen, it was time to set out for another summer in Europe—our first stop: Vienna. Our trip to Vienna rapidly became a luggage3 “adventure”, the term we use when things don’t go too well.
