Venice
To quote Indiana Jones in the third movie 'Ahh, Venice.' Upon walking out of the train station, the very first thing you are presented with is The Grand Canal. It is nothing like I pictured it, much bigger and better. We walked around the corner and went into the first hotel......Read More

Rome and The Vatican
We made it !! The night train was just this side of horrible, dusty and un-comfortable. We both managed to sleep only a couple of hours. We found Hotel Dina just a few blocks from Roma Termini, the main train station, and headed out on an open air bus tour. (36 C, with the humidex felt......Read More

Salzburg
Next we hit Salzburg. We arrived mid-day, and went hunting for a hotel right away. We managed to get  a room on the 8th floor of Hotel Europa, and went for a quick meal. Cheers! The room afforded us a view of Hohensalzburg Castle that was second to none. As the sun began......Read More

Vienna - The train trip begins !!
Hello Everyone, Sorry for the length of time since the last post, but we needed some 'un-wind' time since we return from our Eurail trip. It was insanity wrapped in craziness. Next time we take twice as long I think. Our first night in Vienna was highlighted by the Mozart Concert we had......Read More

Idemo u Zagreb (Let's go to Zagreb)
Hi folks, On Tuesday Renata and I decided on a moments notice to go to Zagreb, Croatia's capital. My very first train trip was a blast. We caught the train at 10:15am and took the one hour ride. It cost 110 kuna for both of us, (just shy of $20) and it was a lot of fun. After......Read More

Greetings from Popovaca!!
Dobar Dan !! I'm happy to report that we have arrived safe and sound. By the time we made it through the 8.5 hour layover in Frankfurt (ouch) and the following 1.5 hour flight to Zagreb, then the 1 hour drive into Popovaca, we were past exhaustion. Popovaca is a small, charming......Read More

Getting Started
