What do you know about Hungary? Budapest? Orban? The language is impossible to understand? That was about how much I knew before we travelled there. And now I know, there is much more behind this country. The weather, even though it was February and usually freezingly cold during that time of year, was stunning. We…

10 days in Transylvania. We did not see Dracula. Instead, we saw a moose right across the street and a horse which enjoyed the newly fallen snow more than any child I saw before. Again, we were afraid of icy temperatures in the wintertime, this time here in Romania. That’s why, we decided not to…

Time for Portugal! Finally! One of the countries we were looking forward to the most. None of us has been here before but we heard so many positive things about it. Our expectations have definitely been met. It is a beautiful and, even in December, sunny country. We did not expect to get so tanned…

On Monday 12th, we crossed the French-Spanish boarder. It was another moment, in which we realized our freedom as Europeans. The freedom of moving around without any issues. While passing a bridge Tim realized that the language on the street signs changed – everything was written in Spanish now. So, there we were: Hola España.…

After a 17-hour-ferry-ride which wasn’t as bad as we expected, we arrived in Cherbourg, Normandy. France re-welcomed us with beautiful weather. We spent the first afternoon at a great spot right by a beach. The atmosphere was a bit weird – the setting was stunning but there were clear “left-overs” from World War II. The…
