postcard from vienna austria

This could easily have been titled “What to do when you’re not feeling Prague!”. As you know from the last postcard, I wasn’t enjoying Prague as much as l thought l would. I didn’t hate it, I just didn’t love it. I’m not sure why l thought we were in Prague for just 2 weeks, but it’s actually just a shade under 3 weeks :-). Luckily, I had booked our accommodation for just one week with the intention of trying out a different area of town so we could get a good feeling for the city. The thought of staying on didn’t exactly light my fire, so l did what l do best… cut the losses and move on to greener pastures. Since we were so close to Austria, we decided spur of the moment to add a new country and head to Vienna. The awesome freedom to do what you want, when you want!. What a lovely surprise Vienna has turned out to be. We are both sure we could live here. We’re also sure that we probably couldn’t afford to, but what a lovely place. So many reasons to love it, I keep humming all these happy songs. The above image is from the Belvedere Place complex…stunning place!

Yes! We are finally in Prague, Czech Republic. This trip had been on the books for a very long time, but for some reason or the other never came to pass until now. I finally booked it while we were still wavering between leaving Spain altogether and trying a new country or staying on. Federico, being the daredevil was all set to move without having visited, while l was a bit more cautious. We had moved to Malaga without a prior visit and ultimately, neither of us loved it. We liked it well enough, but a weekend visit maybe, not to live. Seville suited us much better, as does Valencia now. I was therefore not eager to do the same thing with a new country. Besides, as a black woman, I wanted to make sure l would feel comfortable enough among the locals. I can’t afford to make those decisions willy-nilly! 🙂

Postcard From Precious Porto Portugal ( 2 Thumbs Up )

porto postcard e1566464027436

A Portugal postcard! We have run away to Porto Portugal and might never come back! This place is absolutely delightful.  For me, Porto is all that was promised about Lisbon, only more so. We like Porto more than Lisbon for sure.  It is smaller, but has more personality and did l mention the fact that …
