We woke up at 8:22 in Veterbo. Breakfast here was one of the most luscious. In addition to all the standard staples of breakfast, they also presented fresh fruits and more. This was probably the best breakfast for the whole trip. Odometer showed 9,472 after first day of driving (120 […]
This is a holiday in Italy – Ferragosto or Assumption Day (The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven at the end of her earthly life). But our car rental agency at the train station should be opened. This is also a Napoleon birthday (1769). We woke up at […]
It was a late, late wake up for us this morning. We left the hotel around 12 noon. It is still 6AM in America. We slowly retraced out steps from Sunday walk, and I even bought a paper map of Rome (€7.35). With an international data plan on iPhone, […]
Today is Monday, 2012-08-13, and all attractions are closed in Rome. Today is a good day to visit Vatican. We ate breakfast across the street from our hotel in a place called “Il Lunch” (€16 – 11:42). We are slowly gaining strength against the 6-hour time difference. Monday – […]

Crossing a huge body of wilderness often involves a question of returning back to your car. This itinerary suggests such a crossing, if you have one car, one bike and 3 nights to spend in the woods. At no point you are required to carry your tent and your sleeping […]
I am starting this narrative [2012-08-06 MO 15:40] a few days before the actual trip. The idea is to place here all the itinerary materials that I prepared in Excel to be available online (instead of paper). Gather your Things – Stiamo andando a Roma (we are going […]
Friday, August 29 – Wien Next day on Friday, August 29 we had only one item on our to-do list. We wanted to buy special local treat for our coworkers back in Boston. We easily accomplished this in a local supermarket for 2.89€ per one bag of Mozart Balls. […]
Thursday, August 28 – Graz Next day on Thursday, August 28 we depart from Graz for Vienna around 10AM. Roads in Austria are toll free, but if you use highways, you have to purchase passenger-car vignette. We already had this sticker attached to the inside of the front windshield, because […]
