From Liz The next morning we got up and finished our packing to head to Prague. We (Liz and Erik) were getting quite good at the packing by this point (hint: it helps when things are clean!). We would be taking the train to Prague which is about a 2.5 hour ride. We were given …
Farewell Berlin
From Erik Our time in Berlin was about to come to a close, so we wanted to make sure to have a killer last day! As we hunted through our materials for a “sure thing,” we settled on Zoo Berlin. After all, how could we go wrong with a perennial contender for one of the …
Laundry Day
From Erik After the late night we had yesterday with Frank and Britte all we wanted to do was sleep in and relax, but alas, that was not to be! Back in May we booked an early morning tour of the German Reichstag building, which I’ve unsuccessfully tried to visit two times before. Once with …
Berlin to Potsdam
From Erik – After barely making it through the day and collapsing at about 8 pm, I woke up ready and refreshed to take on the new day! Rather than walk 20,000 steps like we did on the previous day, today we decided to make use of the fine public transportation that Berlin has to …
This Mall Has A SLIDE!
And so we found ourselves in Berlin. Erik and I had visited Berlin in May 2017 so I was excited to show the kids the city. We had a whole day before Erik would come back from Boston, so I tried to organize some activities that would be fun, not to mention close to our …
Hamburg to Berlin
And I’m on my own! Well, the kids were still with me of course 😊 We woke the next morning to see that Erik had left quietly and was on his way to Boston. We checked the weather and realized that this was the only day of the week that was calling for sunshine. So …
Hamburg – Seeing It All
From Erik After a slow start to our day, we made our way to a local bakery, that turned out to be a chain. Juliette partook in a glass of orange juice, where half the experience was seeing it made! The machine had oranges that were loaded into a hopper, and upon turning the machine …
A Father’s Day to Remember
From – Erik Unbeknownst to me, when Liz took the kids shopping yesterday, she also coordinated a Father’s Day celebration, and I was the happy recipient! After catching up on my sleep, I was greeted by a spirited rendition of “Happy Father’s Day to You,” sung to the tune of Happy Birthday. Each of my …
End of the Road (Trip)
From Erik - We arose the next day, took our clothes off the line, and bid farewell to Ria and Rainer. One of the true joys of this journey has been getting to know our hosts as we have traveled from place to place, and I'm so grateful for the language skills that have given …
Fairy Tale Road
Following our adventures in Kassel we continued our trek on the Fairy Tale Road. We had a quest to find the famous Sleeping Beauty Castle - Dornröschenschloss in Sababurg. I didn't find much online, but we had an address so we set out through the German countryside, using our trusty Bordcomputer as our guide. After an …
