Vienna
31 December 2024 Final breakfast of waffles (I will miss that) then off to the train station for the trip to Vienna. We had splurged on business class tickets and it was very nice. The first ticket inspector was fine but the second one told us we didn’t have the right tickets for business (we…

Budapest
28 December 2024 We Ubered to Doha airport and killed some time before our flight. We had a mix up with the length of our flight – somehow we had expected it to be eight hours and so we were relieved when we boarded and they announced only a five hour flight! It was a…

Doha
27 December 2024 We had a good flight to Doha and it was about an hour shorter than scheduled which was a welcome surprise. I took half a sleeping pill and got about five hours of solid sleep along with a few hours of dozing. This was probably my best economy sleeping experience. I watched…

Gold Coast
We finished up work on the Friday before Christmas and were then lucky (or forward thinking enough) to have booked an afternoon flight rather than a crazy early morning departure. We picked up Gail from Lincoln (Alan was already in Australia after joining Nick on a trip to Darwin that Nick had received through his…

Hong Kong
18 January 2024 We land in Hong Kong at about 10:30 am, four hours later than scheduled. The airport is an absolute breeze, Shanghai could learn something from Hong Kong! We have a mare trying to get tickets for the train into the city. We buy an octopus card which is meant to work everywhere…

Strasbourg
16 January 2024 We had a traditional French breakfast with a croissant and hot drink. Lisa’s desire for this breakfast was the major reason for us coming to Strasbourg. And it lived up to expectations! We had a walking tour with our guide Eric. The rest of our group was made up of young employees…

Munich
11 January 2024 We had a bit of a lie in after the late night but had to get up for our Third Reich walking tour. Before leaving we layered up as much as possible as the temperature was negative seven and the projected high negative two – it was going to be a cold…

Zurich
9 January 2024 Up early (hopefully for the last time in this trip) for our flight to Zurich. The airport was strangely quiet and we breezed through check in with no queuing. We did have an annoying wait for a bus to the airplane, again – what is up with not using air bridges! Flight…

Madrid
5 January 2024 After getting some advice (thanks Steph!) I tried some sleeping tablets and had a much better sleep. It was a quick pack up before collecting Lisa. It was a three hour high speed train trip to Madrid which was very smooth. I love train travel – so much nicer than air travel!…

Seville
3 January 2024 Another poor night of sleeping despite some melatonin supplements and trying all my sleep tricks. Thankfully, it was better than the previous night and I got at least a few hours of shut eye. After packing up and checking out we ubered to the airport. It was a bit of a rush…
