Riquewihr Part Two
Next stop on our agenda is Riquewihr France. A small village of 1500 we visited last March. There is an amazing little bakery here that we stopped by to get some Macaron, and macaroons. It has also been at least an hour since our last meal so we had some gelato, and sat down down a […]
Ribeauvillé Part Two
So, a brisk drive in the morning to Ribeauvillé – France where we spent a lovely weekend in March. No traffic, no accidents just a wide open road., I think we managed to shave off about an hour of the trip. The breakfast did not quite work out the way we planned but we still managed […]
Sunday Brunch
We are going out for brunch today, not the one filled with endless lines of chaffing dishes filled with food – we are thinking something more simple, less filling but equally as delicious. Sunday Brunch is more like Parisian Breakfast and no one does this better than the French themselves. We are not sure which of the […]
Retrospect
A year has come and gone. So far we have visited 11 countries and what seems like innumerable number cities and perhaps even more restaurants and shops. We walked what seems like hundreds of kilometres on old cobble stones, consumed pounds and pounds of gelato and drunk gallons of espresso and wine. The blog has had over 22,000 […]
Heaven
After what can only be described as a gastronomical apocalypse yesterday – today we are dining at Radisson Blu. It truly is heavenly!
Bye Bye Italy
We had a wonderful stay at Agriturismo ai Casoni – honestly if we could we would stay there a few more days. This truly is an amazing place, a mom and pop operation that prides itself on great service, amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. Helped by their 3 kids, all off of whom work in the kitchen, […]
Treviso
Today is our last full day in Italy so we are visiting Treviso. This small city of about 80,000 people is actually quite famous. Treviso became a city in 89 BCE, the main road leading up to the Venetian defence walls is lined with spectacular villas on both sides of the road. Because of its […]
Around Venice
Some 60,000 people live in historical Venice, while Venice proper houses some 270,000 people. Historical Venice is built on wooden piles which were driven into the seabed and unto which the foundations of the buildings were build on. There are some 486 bridges in Venice we walked on 29 of them. Everything here is different, […]
Equilibrium
Because it is Easter and a lot of places are closed, or rather not opened for dinner we have to plan our meals carefully. We found a great place in the next town, which is about 2.5km away that is open for dinner on Sunday and Monday. Everything on the menu is simply amazing […]
Agriturismo ai Casoni
We have arrived at Agriturismo ai Casoni, just outside Treviso – where we are going to be spending the next 5 days. This is a small family run agriturismo that produces its own wine and Prosecco as well as the meats and fruits and vegetables. So, as you walk in and are greeted by the hosts […]
Retail Break
It is a very short drive from Ljubljana to Treviso through a beautiful and winding mountain highway. We are taking a short break for a bit of shopping and an espresso at Noventa di Piave Designer Outlet. While we only stopped to get some shoes for the kids, Evelina once again made off like a […]
All About Food
Let’s face it – I think that by now, our need to travel is largely dictated by the fact that we don’t want to be recognized as “are those people eating again?” That’s us, we travel and eat and eat and eat, but it is soooooo good, we simply can’t help ourselves. From this day […]
Ljubljana Old Town
After 11 months of being here and traveling rather extensively my wife said – finally a country I haven’t been to yet. Slovenia has about 2 million people, 270,000 of which live in its capital – Ljubljana. It is a picturesque and beautiful little city with a lot to offer. While Ljubljana does not have any […]
Ljubljana
We have arrived in Ljubliana, Slovenia. We are sticking to our strictly regimented schedule. Drive, check in, go out to eat!
Stiftskeller St. Peter (803) – Salzburg, Austria
According to some sources, including the restaurant itself of course, the Siftskeller has been serving food since 803, making it the oldest restaurant in Europe. Not 1803 – that’s not a typo. Eight-oh-three. Although we can’t personally verify this data, we can certainly attest to the quality of food and service. We started with a […]
Dinner at St. Peter’s
In two hours we are back here for dinner. Judging by the menu it should be nothing short of spectacular!
Time to Eat
It has been almost six hours since our last meal. We had a short drive from Sankt Georgen, we got into our apartment, parked the car, had a nap and came out to eat something. Back by popular demand we are back at Goldene Kugel – kids favorite place in Salzburg.
Golden Horn
We are back to our favourite restaurant in the old town – for a good traditional German dinner. For a flame roasted Nuremberg sausages – this place is a real treat.
Fun with Family
We spent a day exploring a bit of our beautiful city – from the Imperial Castle to the old town and a section of newly renovated St. Sebaldus Church. After a bit of pre-dinner gelato and a lovely dinner, we set out for another walk around the large park by our house. Lovely day… […]
Sękacz
This then is a traditional Polish dessert. It is only made in certain parts of Poland and it is now Boris’s favourite dessert. A basic sękacz is made of 60 eggs, a lot of butter, milk and a bit of flour. A large sękacz will be made of 80 or more eggs. Once batter is […]
We Should Eat Something
It’s dinner time. We are down at our local restaurant Mullers. Great authentic German food – no cooking involved in this meal.
Miller Time
Lazy Saturday afternoon – out for a walk and a beer.
Out on the Town
After an early lunch we set out to explore a bit of town for a nice walk, but really we went looking for a place to sit down to have a little drink.
Travellers
The travellers come bearing loot….
Jazz It Up
This place is no Zeller Bistro but we are out trying something new. Tonight we are at Lado Cafe. This little place, is where the locals hang out to have a dinner and listen to some live jazz or blues. Tonight is a live jazz show. Frankly we did not have the time to take […]
István Cukrászda
Budapest – the city of cafes and pastry shops is not disappointing. Laying waste to our waist lines is this little gem. Going back to 1956 this quaint little cafe, off the beaten path has been serving amazing cakes and coffees for well over half a century. We are talking a small break to relax, […]
Zeller Bistro
As my wife said, when you come to Budapest but don’t stop by Zeller Bistro, for dinner – you have wasted your trip here. Zeller is a very small bistro on the Pest side of the city, family own and family run. They also own a small farm and make their own wine and some […]
Communism You Say
Placed stragegically close to our hotel is Budapest’s legendary – New York Cafe. Voted as one of 10 most beautiful cafes in the world – this newly renovated cafe was a longtime center for Hungarian literature arts and poetry, right from its opening on October 23, 1894. This truly is a dazzling and spectacular place, […]
Colmar – France
Colmar, now a home to some 67,000 people, was founded in the 9th century. It is the third largest city in Alsace and a self proclaimed capital of Alsatian wine. If you have heard of the Statue of Liberty then you know Colmar – indirectly. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, was a French sculptor who is best known for designing […]
Exploring Ribeauvillé
We were not early out of bed today, but in the morning on the way down to the main market square in search of suitable place to sit outside for breakfast we got to explore a bit more of this amazing little town. Ribeauvillé is almost like a medieval movie set – all homes are […]
Out For Lunch
Thursday is a long day at school for kids. Evelina finishes at 3:30 while Boris is done at 5:00. All other days they finish at 1:00 so Thursdays are tough. Since they have an hour for lunch we decided to meet up and have it together.
Around the city
We are continuing to enjoy the beautiful spring weather. It’s is warm, it is dry and it is very sunny.
Sushi Time
We are out for yet another walk today. Today we are trying Sushi Glass a highly recommended, very busy sushi place in the old town.
Break Time
We went to see the Queen today but there was a scheduling problem with the palace. So instead of high tea we settled for watching the change of guard and a coffee.
Coffee Break
We are exploring London bit by bit. The weather went from sunny to drizzle, so we are taking a bit of a break and shelter from the rain.
Fish and Chips
These were done just right with mushed green peas. Not only did we have a Polish waitress her uncle lives in Edmonton. Small world.
Costa Coffee
After an eventful day yesterday we are starting off slow today. First order of the day – sleep through the breakfast at the hotel. Second order of the day – find a place to sit, relax and enjoy a morning cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
Pizza Time
Right, so with Mozejkos here it was inevitable that we would be going back to L’Osteria – it is everyone’s favourite pizza joint in Nuremberg and even mid week you need reservations to get it – it’s a crazy place. After pizza we went next door for some gelato.
Paul our Friend
Starting your day off the proper way with a nice light breakfast and a hot coffee. We love coming to Paul when in Prague.
Arrived
We made it across the parking lot before our first stop – a whole 50 m. Can you guess where we are?
Going Back – To Prague
It is another weekend and we are setting off to Prague for another day trip. It is an amazing city, and we love it there. In the caravan following us are Mozejkos, we are going to explore this town a bit more.
NEWS
Massive but orderly lineups, and much excitement was caused by Nuremberg getting its own Dunkin’ Donuts. We went out to find it today. For those of you who have visited us here, the store is close to the main train station, and the 3D cinema, or a 5 min walk from our flat. Today, […]
Evening Stroll
After a lovely dinner on the Prague Castle side of town, in the same restaurant we ate last year, we went for a stroll to walk off the 4 tonnes of food we consumed before heading home. Let me see if I remember the meal. Beef goulash soup in a bread bowl, fries, potato mushroom […]
Happy Birthday Evelina
Today is the day when everyone in this family can measure their age with two digits. Joining the club is the littlest one – Evelina, turning 10 today and proud of it. Happy Birthday! Thank you all for your wishes, cards and gifts, it really made her day today.
The Italian Job
We know a guy, who knows a guy that told us to follow him to a parking lot on the outskirts of the city in an industrial area to meet this Italian guy who comes to Nuremberg once a month with a van full of goods. He drives 1100km in one day to bring fresh […]
The back of the truck
Well, just to prove that our Italian groceries did indeed come from the back of a truck, here are the photos to illustrate. Basically, there was a small group of people that assembled in this parking lot. For any of you that lived through or are familiar with the days of PRL this really felt […]
French Trains
In short awesome. On our way back after a bit of wondering around Paris we settled in our comfy seats in the first class. This time we were served dinner which was: pasta salad with tomatoes, goat cheese and broad green beans. Grilled beef with rice and vegetable ratatouille. For dessert lemon tart. Wine, water, […]
Wondering Walas
Paris was angry with us today, or at least that is what it seemed like to us. We got to the metro station this morning and it turned out that our 5 days metro passes have already expired. No big deal, we thought, we will just get a daily ticket. This metro station however, does […]
L’Oree du Parc
We had dinner at a local bistro, half a block away from our pad. Once again we did not get the picture of the best dish we had which was a trio of steak tartar. I will say this, and I am saying this for both of us – best steak tartar we had since […]
