The Snake Charmer was NOT very charming

Written on September 21, 2017 in Morocco

Marrakesh – September 21st 2017 We had our hotel call for a cab and we were going to try to navigate the Medina and souks on our own here in Marrakesh. We knew it wasn’t as intricate and labyrinth-ish as Fes’ Medina and we had trusty google to help us this time. Our cab was...

Train to Marrakesh!

Fes to Marrakesh – September 19th – 20th 2017 Our third day in Fes was the best day ever! Kidding. We were completely lazy and stayed at the Riad to swim and laze around. Which could be looked at as the best day ever actually 🙂 The Riad was set up perfectly so the kids...

A moody guide can’t dampen our day!

Fes – September 18th 2017 While in Fes we wanted to tour the Medina. This however was not something we thought we could do on our own. The Medina is huge and the oldest part of Fes. The Medina which includes homes, businesses, shops and restaurants has been around since between 700 – 800 AD!...

Barcelona to Fes – September 16th – 17th 2017 We left Andorra in the morning and were driving straight to Barcelona where we would be going to the airport to catch our flight to Morocco. We had a few hours to kill as our flight wasn’t until the evening so we found a mall for...

No Go Coaster

Written on September 15, 2017 in Andorra

Andorra – September 15th We made a special trip all the way to Andorra for one sole thing: A mountain Coaster. Since not being able to try the Swiss coaster at Glacier 3000 because of white out conditions, we made the trip to Andorra. Lets back up a bit and explain where Andorra is. I...

Speedos for the boys!

Written on September 14, 2017 in France

Vias – September 11th – 14th We woke up and the boys went in search of speedos! Lucas was not happy about this. My little creature of habit and comfort was going to be pushed outside his comfort zone. He knew and I knew it! Mark scouted out the store first and found his pair,...

Please check your ego at the door Mr. Security

Written on September 10, 2017 in France

Vias – September 10th Something you should know about the way we have chosen to travel thus far: we have not been booking anything more than a week or so in advance. This was either going to help us or hurt us. In the end it kinda did both. Like in Amsterdam, we were left...

Nice was nice!

Written on September 9, 2017 in Monaco

Nice – September 6th to 9th 2017 I especially had been looking forward to staying in Nice, France for a while. I was ready to leave Italy and get back to some familiar ground (at least knowing the language). Staying in Nice also meant our first stretch of down time. We booked here knowing that...

No cars makes for a great day!

Cinque Terre – September 5th 2017 Our first real Italian village experience happened! We stayed in a remote (remote to me!) small village about 25 minutes from the train station that would take us to Cinque Terre. We had only one bedroom and a sleeper sofa. There ended up being no wifi although it was...

Gelato makes everything better

Pisa – September 4th 2017 Next stop Pisa! Now, as much as I loved Venice, Italy was somewhat letting me down again. Between the drivers being crazy and Florence not being as lovable as I would have liked, I really wanted Pisa to blow me out the water with Italian fabulousness!! Parking and traffic were...
