Dubrovnik, Croatia!!!
Wow, what a place! The medieval walled city was amazing! We started by walking along the top of the old city walls which gave us some incredible views. Game of Thrones was filmed here apparently (I have not seen the show yet, but I’ll have to watch it) and there were lots of references here. […]

Santorini
Our second stop was Santorini. This was a really cool place! The town is built on the top of the cliffs, and there are a few ways to reach the top from shore. A gondola (with a line that was forever), hiking up (not appealing in 100 degree heat), or taking a donkey. We decided […]

First Port – Mykonos
After having the night to settle in, our morning brought the first stop in the Greek Islands. Myknoso. We used the ship tenders to get to shore, and then after walking through town and the tourist shops, found a bus to take us to another part of the island with a nice beach. It has […]

Next stop, the Greek Islands
Before heading to the ship, Kenzie, Kailynn and I spent the morning checking out some other parts of Athens and doing a little shopping for gifts. I think the highlight for Kenzie was the grocery store and seeing all of the different things they have here. Then we packed up our stuff and headed for […]

First stop…Athens!
Despite a very long day of travel to get here and some challenges with lost luggage, our first stop was great! We visited the Acropolis and Parthenon (along with about 10,000 other sweaty tourists), wandered around the little back streets and markets of Athens, and did some shopping to get Kailynn replacement clothes. We’ve had […]

Last day in Thailand
On our last day in Thailand we spent time seeing more of the city. We took the river ferries to get around and visited a Buddhist temple, the Royal Palace, the “Reclining Buddah”, walked through Chinatown, and of course, more markets. The night market was very cool. Organized chaos but a lot of fun. We […]

Floating Market
Today we hired a van to take us out of Bangkok and out into the rural countryside to visit the some unique markets. The first was the railroad market. The market is literally set up on the train tracks. Vendors are on each side, and several times a day when the train comes through the […]

Bangkok!
After another long day of travel, we made our way from Bangladesh to Thailand. We got in late and spent the next day checking out some markets and seeing the town, but it was a pretty relaxed day as we got used to a new timezone. The tuk tuk rides were an adventure, street food […]

A long night in Bangladesh
Getting to Bangkok involved a long overnight layover in Dacca, Bangladesh. If ever you have the opportunity to spend a night in the Bangladesh International Airport…go ahead and pass. We had made a reservation at an airport hotel hoping to go and get a little rest there while we waited for our next flight. But […]
