Snoop: Bulgaria

Posted onJuly 3, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Bulgaria is beautiful. I love the people and the scenery. The drivers are still rowdy, however I believe them to be more cautious than in the rest of the Balkans. I did not like the food as much in Bulgaria as I did in the rest of the Balkans. The cities themselves did not seem Read More …

Snoop: Albania

Posted onJune 25, 2016July 13, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Albania is my favorite country of the Balkans. The people are as nice as they can be and the natural beauty is unparalleled. Granted, a large town there is considered between five and ten buildings and you can drive for half an hour before happening upon one of these cities. While Albania is the least Read More …

Snoop: Fondue

Posted onAugust 11, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

If I had to live on a desert island with only one food, it would be fondue. Bread is not the best thing to eat fondue with. I wish that there were apples to dip with the bread. All over Switzerland, the portions were huge. In Mürren, the bonus was that I got to eat Read More …

Snoop: San Sebastián, Spain

Posted onJuly 21, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

San Sebastián has a beautiful beach. It was windy and rainy for most of the time we were there so we had to find a way to occupy ourselves. This usually means eating. Almost every place we went, even a sushi bar, had tapas. In San Sebastián, they are called Pintxos. I dislike tapas. They Read More …

Snoop: Naples, Italy

Posted onJuly 14, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

I was not looking forward to Naples. I had heard about how it was a dangerous city. It was lunch time, and we were sick of eating on the ship. Then we decided to go to lunch at the place that originated pizza margherita, called Brandi. Sadly, it was closed, and we were not happy. Read More …

Snoop: Kotor, Montenegro

Posted onJuly 9, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

The Kotor Church has had a hard life. It was made in the 800s, but it was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1500s. Later, people tried to fix it, but they did not have the funds to rebuild all of it, and that is why it has two mismatched towers. We had heard that Read More …

Auschwitz, Poland

Posted onJune 20, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

Auschwitz is the saddest place in the world. There were 1-1.5 million people killed there, and we saw spoils of what was there before. There was a room dedicated to women’s hair and the German textiles made from it. It was sick just to hear about, but to see it, it was even worse. There Read More …

Snoop: Istanbul

Posted onNovember 10, 2012May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

Snoop: Istanbul Today we arrived in Istanbul. We landed at some airport that is far away from the city and it took us hours in traffic to get to our hotel. It was called the Elanaz Hotel. We loved everything about the hotel. The people there were so nice. We had a craving for chocolate Read More …

Snoop: Whirling Dervishes

Posted onNovember 5, 2012May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

After a fabulous dinner, we went to see the ceremony of the Whirling Dervishes. The Dervishes spin around, always in the same direction, because they “pray” while they are spinning.   They spun around and around for 20 minutes with a couple of 30 second breaks. They spin so long that they fall into a Read More …

Snoop: Kaymakli, Turkey

Posted onNovember 4, 2012May 10, 2015AuthorSnoop1 Comment

I thought our hotel was pretty cool being in caves, but, Kaymakli is a whole underground city that is so easy to get lost in. It is a huge network of caves that stretches for hundreds of meters. It goes underground for 7 stories and has a lot of living rooms and pantries and kitchens Read More …
