Happy Friday! Dan and I are thrilled it’s Friday because vacation begins tomorrow!! Well, I am kind of always on vacation, but he has the week off work,so it is definitely the first “real vacation” for the both of us together. Super excited.
So, where does one go on “holiday” in Europe when they are already living in Europe? Decisions, decisions,decisions. Poor me, I have had a long, hard, stressful week of researching and planning to find the perfect destination. Eventually the pieces fell together and we agreed on the perfect destinations:
- Rijeka, Croatia
- Venice, Italy
- Lake Garda, Northern Italy
Yep, all three! It won’t be too often that Dan will get a week off during the summer months so we wanted to take full advantage. The beaches in Rijeka look absolutely stunning and the weather for the week is in the high 90s! We will stay at our beach side hotel for 4 nights, then drive 2 hours over to Venice, Italy. After spending 1-2 nights there we will then then conclude our trip in Lake Garda, Italy.We have gotten several recommendations from the locals here in Germany that it is an awesome spot to visit with beautiful views of the Alps.
Obviously that is the highlight of our lives right now, I am literally counting down the hours!
Besides that, this week we have been in Augsburg, Germany, which is near Munich. It is by far my favorite town that we have stayed in for Dan’s work. There are tons of shops and cafes, and I have even got to lay out at a local pool for the first time this summer! I don’t have any new pictures for this week because I lost my camera cap and case in Amsterdam. Whoops! I am too paranoid to carry my camera without them so it has had the week off. I got replacements yesterday so it will be back to work for our trip!
I’ll admit that I have been a bit behind updating my links on the homepage, so I am now playing catch up! I just posted in Spectacular Sightings and Food Finds if you want to check them out!
Hope that you all have an awesome weekend; I can’t wait to share our vacation experiences with you!
Cheers!
