Sadira Messes Around in Europe

Woke up this morning to snow outside our window. We took our time getting ready and I started the day by reading a little. We decided to head to a cafe to get out of the weather but still stay dry. We went to a cafe called Darwin (evolution themed) and got cappuccinos and read…

Because of the time going ahead last night we ended up sleeping in a bit “late”. We finally got up and decided to hit up some of the bakeries we found yesterday. We went to “My Mom’s” for more carrot cake, red velvet, and cheesecake. Then we headed to the oldest bakery in Salzburg but…

Today we decided to let Rick Steves show us around Old Town Salzburg. On the way to the starting point we stopped at a bakery, we saw the statue of Mozart (Salzburg was his hometown), the Salzburg Cathedral. We were supposed to go into the cathedral, but unlike when Rick was here, it cost 5…

We decided to go to Salzburg as our stop before Vienna because Innsbruck was double the price. The train from Interlaken to Salzburg was about 7.5 hours with a couple of changes. The view was so beautiful through the alps. We got to the hostel around 6pm and got Indian food around 8pm. It was…

We got free breakfast again this morning and booked some hostels for the rest of our time in the Schengen countries. What’s next? Salzburg and Vienna! After breakfast we got ready for our hike today. Normally, you could take a tram up to Harder Kulm, but it opens on April 7th so we had to…

Today was supposed to be the clearest day that we are here so we decided that this would be the day we took the tram up to Mürren. We got free breakfast again and said goodbye to Heather and Juan who were flying home tomorrow from Zurich. We took the train into Lauterbrunnen and then…

Started our day a little slow today, but got free breakfast again. I have been absolutely feasting on these all you can eat breakfasts. We decided to tag along with Juan and Heather our roomates on their day trip to Thun. The train ticket was included in our Eurail pass and was only about 30…

We started this morning by checking out our hostel’s free breakfast. I got yogurt with granola and toast with apricot jam. After breakfast we booked a train from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen. The train was only about 20 minutes and when we got there it was a little cloudy but so gorgeous. We walked towards Staubbach…

Left Munich bright, early, and cranky this morning to get to Interlaken. We took a 3 hour train to Winterthur and then 1.5 hours to Bern and then one more hour to Interlaken. I read my book a bit but mostly slept, I was feeling a bit motion sick. When I woke up, I got…

Today was an absolutely gorgeous spring day juxtaposed with the most horrible subject matter of Dachau. We took the train from Munich out to Dachau this morning and then took the bus from the metro to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. We walked through the bunker, the immense museum, the barracks, and the crematorium.…
