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 …
We are staying at the Onyx Hotel. I like it because the people are super nice. The two main things we did in Boston were walking on the Freedom Trail and visiting some of the schools in Cambridge. The Freedom Trail connects all of the major historic attractions across the city. It was interesting to Read More …
We flew from Sydney to Tasmania. It was a big change. On the luggage carousel, there was a sculpture of a seal going around and around. We rented a car and drove to the thriving metropolis of Nubeena. The city was basically our hotel, a supermarket and a restaurant. The main reason we stayed there Read More …
It was a 3 hour drive from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay. We got to the dock and, 20 minutes later, we were cruising around the bay. Our ship is called the Valentine. Unfortunately, this boat trip is only one day. The food is good on the boat. Did you know there are 3000 islands Read More …
Hanoi was cold and kind of damp. We had a good dinner at a place called Seasons. We spent the day walking around town seeing where Ho Chi Minh is “sleeping,”, a water puppet show and we went in to the Hanoi Hilton – it isn’t a hotel. I will tell you more when I Read More …
After a week at the beach, we came back to Saigon to celebrate the new year. We were busy for all 3 days. We visited the Cu Chi Tunnels with our other awesome guide, Khoi. The story that they told of the war was different than the story we heard in the USA. They Read More …
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 …
I am so excited. Today is the day I get to sleep in a cave. We got up at 4:00 in the morning to fly from Izmir to Kayseri. It is one of the airports in Cappadocia. The rent-a-car man was late. We waited for 20 minutes at the airport and finally a man came Read More …
Pamukkale is famous for its white terrace pools. In my opinion, Pamukkale was expensive and a rip-off. First off, it was 20 Turkish Lira per person to get in (That is $12 in US money). Second, the pools weren’t full. If the water with all of the calcium doesn’t flow, the terraces turn black instead Read More …
