This is a trip of a lifetime for many reasons but the foundation of this experience is travelling with friends and everyone being independent at the same time! It’s been more than 2 weeks since we left Canada, in fact the trip is slowly coming to an end. We made it to Tokyo first forContinue reading “Trip of a lifetime”

Moving to Calgary
Pretty much a month ago, at the end of February, I helped my daughter move to Calgary. This being “essential travel” also meant a road trip at the same time. Not in the middle of winter but also definitely not without snow. What I saw from the air just a few weeks ago I didContinue reading “Moving to Calgary”
Missing the mountains
As I am sitting at my desk today I am looking out over the fields and misty hills, a downpour of rain interlaced with a low sun. I started thinking about my mountain adventure last summer. It almost feels unreal now that I actually hiked from Munich to Venice. One of the lovely young womenContinue reading “Missing the mountains”
The trains I took in Europe:
I love taking trains when I am travelling. Maybe it’s the lack of trains in Canada although I have had the privilege to travel on trains regularly while working such as the Rocky Mountaineer, a luxury train with different routes where you overnight in a hotel or of course VIA Rail that connects the EastContinue reading “The trains I took in Europe:”
Day 33: Venice to Munich
Had a bit of time in the morning as I was only leaving at 13:35 so I went for a walk. Came into the train station from the North as I hadn’t been out that way. Learned that the train station Santa Lucia was built on the former site of the church Santa Lucia whichContinue reading “Day 33: Venice to Munich”
Day 32: Venice, Murano and Burano – 11km
Headed out to the train station and got myself a day pass for the public transit, which is boats! No cars, no trains (although it looks like a commuter train map). There are in fact no cars in Venice, just a few that will take you across the dam to the mainland. And there isContinue reading “Day 32: Venice, Murano and Burano – 11km”
Day 31: Venice – 11km
Went out exploring again the next day, where ever my feet would take me. Had an Americano every morning and a little sweet pastry. Found a bench close to the canal and watched the birds. Across bridges, through alleys, into courtyards, across piazzas,…. Got lost more than once in the way back. Past several littleContinue reading “Day 31: Venice – 11km”
Day 30: Longarone to Venezia- 11km
Headed out just after 9:00 after another fabulous and relaxing breakfast. Felt really well taken care of at the Casa Gilda. Another beautiful day. Hoping to catch the Cortina Express to Venice, at 10:30? Talked, with very few words, to a lady at the train station who was waiting for a different bus with herContinue reading “Day 30: Longarone to Venezia- 11km”
