  • A Walk in Nuremberg

    A Walk in Nuremberg

    Nuremberg, the historical first city of Franconia region Germany offers a visitor delightful views. I spent a day walking around the old city acquainting myself to a relaxing vibe along the city walls and riverfront. I liked the shopping district, of course, a mixture of small brands and big stores. While, Strolling around I walked…

  • Travel Size?

    Travel Size?

    I have no clue what size luggage fits on a plane now. As we know the discount airlines are like vultures looking for ways to charge fees. Basically on Ryanair, anything bigger than a toothbrush case will cost an extra 30 euros. This should be interesting.

  • Not So Outrageous Now,,

    I received a press release of the product ViraShield by tech start up Pictar. If I had gotten this mail 18 months ago I would have laughed. Or thought to myself, “an EasyJet Safety Bag”.

Accounting for in some cases up to 20% of countries GDP. Many livelihoods depend on the travel industry.  Boarders are still closed. Airlines on the brink of…

  • Prague, The Over Toured, The Good.

    The first time I visited Prague in 1997, it was a city still waking up from years of Communist rule. I managed to cross The Charles Bridge many times both day and night. Walking up to the Prague Castle to get pictures standing overlooking the River was easy. My first day I met locals who showed me…

  • Prague, Just Look Up!

    Prague is a walking city. Along the shores of the Vltava River, the Czech Capital buildings go from Dark Gothic to Minimal Modernist to Ornate Art Nouveau.   While I did not recognize a masterplan.  Admittedly, I am a laymen when it comes to architecture, the eclectic harmony is visually pleasing.   On every street,…

  • Food! Glorious Food!

    Food! Glorious Food!

    ITALY  What is a holiday in Italy or France without food? Resisting was futile. Good food should be enjoyed! The diet got tossed out the window. Give in to temptation if it tastes good. I guessed I sinned a lot. How many Hail Marys will I have to say is a guess. While traveling around…
