Something to look foward too~

Sadly, Cameron and I have had a long boring winter here in Germany. I swear the sun was only visible about 4 hours of the day, which is not exactly ideal traveling weather. Cameron's work schedule was another factor, he's been a little too busy for my taste with his new position. Any-who, I figured I'd blog about a list of places we are planning on visiting this summer~
In June we've planned a 5 day trip in Austria. First we're going to Salzburg and doing The Original Sound of Music tour~ OMG! So excited! I've wanted to go on this tour for a year now... and we'll go to the Lake district, walk around Salzburg and then maybe a boat trip and visit Mozart's home. From there we go to Vienna. I hear good things about Vienna... we're spending 2 days there and I already booked a tour that includes Schonbrunn Palace. Maybe do some shopping the next day and then we go home.
Soon after we're going to Interlaken, Switzerland for 4 days. It might sound familiar if you watched the Bachelor last season with that retard, Ben. Beautiful place, dumb people. Anyways, I'm really excited for this one too. This is our hiking and biking and adventure trip. I just booked our hotel and a canyoning day trip. For those of you who don't know what canyoning is here ya go!

I also hear that Switzerland is breath taking-ly beautiful and breath taking-ly expensive. I believe it. One of Cameron's co-workers said he spend almost $100 on McDonald's for his family. OH GOSH~ I'll be packing sandwiches, snacks and breakfast is included in our hotel price. Thank God.
As of right now Prague, Czech Republic. We booked a hotel for this weekend but bunch of stuff is going on, so we couldn't go. Boo!
Everyone I spoke to said they went to Prague thinking it wouldn't be much, but there was in fact, too much to do. 'They' all had wished they spent much more time there. So, I plan on 4 days.
I also need to head up to Boleslawiec, Poland. It's about a 4 hour drive from here; and that is where you buy the famous Polish pottery. It's dirt cheap when you buy it in Poland compared to anywhere else. I think we'll hit up Prauge and Poland in the same trip.
Late this summer is the BIG trip this year. We're going on a 10 day cruise on the Greek Isles. Cameron and I have wanted to do this LONG before we even found out we where moving to Europe. I need crystal clear blue water in my life. It starts in Venice, Italy (which I LOVE)from there we go to Split, Croatia. Then off to Chania(Souda), Crete. And then Corfu, Piraeus(Athens), Mykonos, Santorini, Katakolon, all in Greece. Out of all the places we're stopping 2 are on my bucket list. Santorini and Athens. If you don't know what or where Santorini is, I'm sure you've seen the pictures.
*Sigh*
What a great opportunity we have here in Europe!
