As we are in the land of ancient gods, it would be strange if we didn’t mention Athena or Zeus even once. Today thunder and rain changed our plans here in Athens, and so Zeus – the sky and thunder god paid us a visit. Initially, we wanted to climb the Acropolis today, but instead,…
Our fourth full day in Athens is coming to an end. Today we really have been taking it easy and we really needed it. Maybe because there was thunder in the air? Still, we managed to walk over 10,000 steps and experienced a great deal of Greek hospitality. People seem to be genuinely interested and…
One of the highlights of staying abroad for a longer period of time is the fact that you get the chance to discover the place in a completely different way. For instance, we probably wouldn’t have gone to Piraeus, had we only come here for a few days. The morning started just like most other…
Syntagma Square lies in the heart of Athens and it is a historical, political, and social center of the Greek capital. Today’s mission was to go to Syntagma Square, visit the National Garden, and perhaps grab an ice cream on the go. Starting Slowly Little A must think that she has the most boring parents…
I have been to the Greek capital twice before but it is quite some time ago now. We arrived in Athens late last night and this morning our plan was to sleep late. However, Little A did not agree with us. At 8 a.m. local time she decided to wake us up. We gave her…
There was a bit of tension in the air this morning. The feeling of new adventures is around the corner. This is something we really like about traveling, there is always something new to be excited about. We have just arrived and we now have four weeks to look forward to in the Greek capital…
The winter is really staying this year and I guess that we will have to wait a few more weeks before spring arrives. We are spending the weekend on the Åland Islands and have so far had cold temperatures and sunshine. In other words, the conditions are perfect for enjoying the winter landscapes that surround…
Hello friends! The snow is slowly melting outside, the birds are twittering about their return, and it’s time to start planning the spring. As always, we have quite a few exciting things going on. Travel is a big part of it all and today we’d like to share our travel plans for spring 2018 with you. This…
A lot of people look for sun and beaches when traveling with their kids. For us, we were more looking for nice views and new experiences when we recently visited Madeira. The island was great for our purposes, but how was it for traveling with an infant? Here are our thoughts on going to Madeira…
Traveling is not always a dance on roses. Sometimes you actually get sick. That is exactly what has happened to me. I spent the night with a fever and a nasty headache and have used the day to rest. Maybe it’s good for all of us to have some rest after a few days of traveling…
Times flies when you are traveling. It is already the end of day four here on Madeira. We took it really easy this morning because we wanted to wait and see how well Little A was feeling after the first days here on the island. Luckily she seems to be fine, with only a minor…
We could hear the wind roar this night. A storm must have been passing by as the rain was falling and the wind sounded more than during our first days. When we woke up in the morning the wind had started to calm down and it was only a light rain falling. So we decided…
