Holiday was bliss, and looking back we realised that we were fortunate to have so many priceless moments during the holiday... From snow and waffles in picturesque fairytale Brugge; to a champagne tasting on a boat trip on the Seine; to gliding down the pipes in the saltmines in Halein, Berchtesgaden on Christmas day, Le Palais in Prague, to the colossal St. Vitus cathedral, the depressing Terezin concentration camp and finally the fireworks on Leidseplein on New Year!
Travelling with trains between the countries was a different experience altogether! Running with 20kg bags in the snow on platforms who knows where in minus 7degree temp, up stairs, down stairs, into wrong carriages and ending off with a trip through antiquity on a old Czech train in a chicken-cage sized 6-sleeper compartment with a manual air-con and no coffee... for 15 hours, proved to be a difficult task.
But alas we had our own black belt Johnny Bravo(David)carrying our luggage and Lisa our pathfinder who always got us to our destination in one piece...
Lastly a great big thanks to the wonderful parents who made the trip possible!
David & Ilse
