A short trip to Dresden

A short trip to Dresden

Over the weekend, after all the vacations we took with and without the kids last month, we stopped by Michaela’s parents in Ústí nad Labem for a visit and Saturday lunch. And since Ústí nad Labem is right on the German border and Dresden is just a stone’s throw away, we usually stop there too. […]

Milano Teatro alla Scala

The individual groups of visitors were separated from each other, […]

New dress, amazing lunch

New dress, amazing lunch

Yesterday we went for a walk around Prague, but in the end we did not go very far. Along the way, we came across a shoe store with huge sale, where we spent almost the entire afternoon. This is one of the accompanying phenomena of the ongoing pandemic – almost everything is on sale, almost […]

Wonderful Venice in these extraordinary times

In these extraordinary times we have decided to visit the wonderful and charming Venice. We did go there because we wanted to take advantage and see the city without tourists.
