After quickly packing up my room, you know it - back to the airport! I take a short walk down Market Street to the St James Station of Sydney Trains, which is right on the edge of Hyde Park. This station is close to 100 years old. After a very quick and efficient ride down … Continue reading Beginning the Return Trip

The Emerald City
Good morning ! After staying up as late as I could, working on a previous blog post (the one from Munich) until 10:30 pm, I was only able to sleep until about 3:30 am. So I gave up trying to get back to sleep and had a nice Nespresso in the room at 4. I … Continue reading The Emerald City
Down To The Land of Macca’s
Here we are back at the airport in Abu Dhabi. This is terminal 1, the original terminal which is about 40 years old. You won't see anything flashy in here like most of the other newer terminals in the Gulf states. Quickly passing through border control and security (it's a small terminal and thus never … Continue reading Down To The Land of Macca’s
Finding my pace
The next morning, I start my "big" trip in Munich. So here we are back at the airport at 7 am. I popped into the Senator lounge near G24 for a pretzel and a cappuccino. And another cappuccino handmade, this time (I was too impatient to wait for the staff for the first coffee). Here's … Continue reading Finding my pace
München mag dich
After a few days at Grandma's house in Czechia, I'm off on my big solo trip of the summer! I started my day being dropped off at the Pardubice train station by my brother in law, Martin. Today I'm taking RegioJet to Prague, which is one of the private railway companies in the Czech Republic. … Continue reading München mag dich

Ellie is a bit worried about the flight as she's been throwing up on some of her most recent flights and she's understandably nervous. After dropping … Continue reading Ciao Bella
A Little Trip to the Big NY
I've not posted anything here for a long time, and I was very close to simply abandoning this blog the last time it came up for renewal and letting it drift away into the history of the internet. But at the last minute, I decided not to let that happen. So after 3 years, here's … Continue reading A Little Trip to the Big NY
Returning Home
After our lovely Saturday evening in Prague, I started my journey home Sunday morning - but not too early! The three of us had a quick breakfast at the airport, which wasn't cheap, but surprisingly good. Then we headed on our separate ways. The girls are staying in CZ for an extended period. I miss … Continue reading Returning Home
Kutná Hora-UNESCO World Heritage Site
Kutná Hora is a town about 50 minutes from here. We wanted to do a little day trip that wasn't too far away since I'm working in the afternoon this week (Calgary hours - so starting around 3 PM here). We had a really enjoyable day out, seeing the popular sights that we've seen before … Continue reading Kutná Hora-UNESCO World Heritage Site
Prague Without Tourists
This is a very special and unique time to be in Europe in summer. Always the busiest season for tourism with packed attractions, restaurants, lines everywhere and sky high prices, this quiet summer of 2020 will be one for the books. We spent a beautiful summer Saturday seeing some of the classic sights of Prague … Continue reading Prague Without Tourists
