Hanging out in the famous thermal baths of Budapest
Exploring Budapest!
The Hungarian Parliament building in the distance
More Goulash!
Outside one of the many churches in Vienna
We ate a lot of different foods at the famous Vienna Christmas Market.
The Christmas Market was a little crowded.
A quick stop in Salzburg!
Climbing up the famous Salzburg castle.
Overlooking Salzburg
I was told this is a major tourist attraction because of a scene out of the movie P.S. I Love You.
The famous “Temple Bar” street.
Dublin had a lot of old tales and songs about this statue of Molly Malone.
We also got to visit the Guinness Factory!
We saw many photographs similar to this one of famous celebrities and political figures from all around the world trying the “perfect pint” of Guinness from the factory.
Overlooking Dublin
We also visited the beautiful Cliffs of Moher
Trying out Prague’s famous hot wine
Can you guess what I am about to write on the John Lennon Wall?
Yep…..WPS!
Overlooking Prague
Prague’s famous St. Vitus Cathedral
Mount Vesuvius
Inside Pompeii, with Mount Vesuvius pictured in the background.
Walking through some of the ruins was an amazing sight.
Inside the Roman Colosseum. Â Directly above the cross is where the Emperor would watch the gamesÂ
These were the tunnels beneath the stage, where all of the “behind the scenes” work was taken place during the games.
This better depicts the actual stage on the right, and the tunnels on the left.
Inside the Vatican MuseumÂ
Roman Capital Building
Lake Brienz
Nothing better than an early morning hike with these views
My new favorite activity: Â Canyoning. Â This is the start to our 6 hour descent through the canyon.
The objective of canyoning is to descend through the canyon by jumping, repelling, sliding, swimming, and even swinging.Â
The “corkscrew” slide
The “jump” slide
This was the scariest jump of the entire adventure. Â
This was the narrow path we had to jump through.
“I hope your aim is well. Only joking. But seriously.” -Our instructor right before we jumped
As you can see, this adventure provided some pretty amazing views.
As midterm papers and exams are rolling around the corner this week, we didn’t get the chance to do much traveling this past weekend. Â Instead we traveled back to explore Cinque Terre for half a day and relaxed back in Florence!
A 2 Mile hike from Vernazza to Monterosso with beautiful views.
Nothing beats relaxing by this crystal clear water!
A week is never complete if we don’t make our way to the Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sun set!
Taking in the evening views at the Arno River
Salamanca Plaza, where a variety of events take place
Even car shows can be found in the Plaza
Exploring a fresh market. This is salt cured meat, which has hung up to dry and served without ever being cooked. Very Tasty!
My favorite tapas dish: croquetas
The Roman bridge of Salamanca still left standing from when the Roman Empire occupied the land
As you can tell, the Roman Bridge and the Bull have gone through some aging
Salamanca’s beautiful Cathedral
Even on the ceiling, the detail of everything was amazing.
