ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
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.
We had long planned to visit Vienna, partly because I had never been there. Our last try, a few years ago, was canceled due to illness. As with last time, I bought tickets in advance for the Lippizaner stallion show and an orchestral Mozart concert.
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.
Beyond Museums and Markets, our return to Buenos Aires included an opera, a soccer match, and a tango show. All of these were major events and required advanced planning, but totally worth it.
On our return to Buenos Aires from Ushuaia, we planned to visit all of the must-do places we didn’t get to on our first stay in the city. We also decided to stay in Recoleta instead of Palermo just to check out another of the city’s recommended neighborhoods.
