Summer 2015

Hi everyone!

So today's blog post is an accumulation of the photos I took over the summer after my trip to Germany. School just started for me and I've been pretty busy, which is why I've been pretty behind with my posts. I did, however, just put up two posts from my trip to Vienna, so I hope you guys enjoyed that!

This blog post is pretty food heavy so hope you guys don't feel too hungry after reading this lol.

The weather has been getting warmer and warmer since where I live, I feel like we have delayed summers.

So I hope you guys enjoyed this quick little blog post, I'll have some more blog posts up as soon as possible. :)

Vienna | Part 2

Hey guys!

This is my second blog post about my time in Vienna, Austria. We spent quite a while in Vienna so I split this blog post into to.

I still have so many photos from my trip that I'll be continuing to post on my blog. My next blog post will probably be something different because I don't want to overwhelm you guys with too many photos.

The places we visited included the Volksgarten which is part of the Hofburg Imperial Palace, Demel Konditorei, Der Graben, and the Karlskirche. The cake we ate was from Hotel Sacher. I forgot the name of the restaurant we ate at in the last picture, but it was in 10. Berzik, Favoriten. The portions of the food were HUGE. We ordered 4 dishes for 4 people and we had so much leftover food. We probably would've been full just sharing two dishes together. We ended up with a bunch of leftover food and fries which weren't very good the next day. So if you guys ever try this restaurant, make sure not to order too much! x) Also, a cat was wandering around and decided to join us for a minute.

Again, Vienna is so beautiful! The palace we visited was so interesting to learn about and tour. The garden was amazing. We ate so much good food and had a lot of fun. Thinking back on those times, I wish I could travel back in time and be in Europe again!

So that concludes my time in Austria. The next place we visited was Czech Republic so be sure to look out for those posts! I'll have some different posts up before I continue with my Europe trip blogs.

Thanks for reading!

Vienna | Austria

Hi everyone!

These pictures are from my time in Vienna, the city of music. Sorry for being MIA for two weeks. School just started and I had already finished this blog post but didn't upload it. ;_;

I visited several palaces in Vienna where tourists could walk inside and tour the interior. The decor is set up and all the rooms are decorated beautifully, as they would be back when the royal family lived there hundreds of years ago. During these palace tours, the visitors are given a audio guide which explains the history behind the room and the members of the royal family. It was super informative and really interesting. I would definitely recommend checking them out! Unfortunately I couldn't take photos inside but the decor was really beautiful.

The first palace we toured was the Schonbrunn Palace which belonged to the royal family hundreds of years ago. The second building is the Maria-theresian-platz and Memorial, not a palace and we did not go inside. It had beautiful gardens outside that we enjoyed. In my next post you guys will be able to see the second palace that I toured in Vienna. :)

We ate at a restaurant close to the memorial and it was surprisingly very good! It was actually one of my favorite restaurants that we ate at during the entire trip. The final picture is a picture of a very expensive lemonade that I got at a mall. I didn't really understand the menu (since it was in German) and the drink ended up being 8 euros. It was good though..

That's all for today. I'll be scheduling some blog posts to be posted during this week so I don't disappear for two weeks again. Thanks for reading!

Austria | Salzburg

Hey guys!

I've been posting a lot about my life as well as my trip to Europe, but I will try to get some different blog posts up. I have a couple products to review and maybe some books? I haven't been reading many new books, unfortunately. If you have any good suggestions please let me know! Hope you guys have been enjoying the recent blog posts.

Austria, again, was so beautiful! I love the pastel buildings, which look similar to the buildings in Germany, but I feel that the buildings in Austria have a more Victorian style. The pictures I took were from Salzburg and Hallstatt. When we went to Hallstatt, I believe that day was a holiday because they were a lot of cannons going off from the boats.

If you guys ever plan to eat in Hallstatt make sure to make a reservation before hand because all of the restaurants are usually full. A lot of the restaurants were next to the lake so it was really peaceful and beautiful.

So that is it to my post about Austria. My next travel blog post will be about Vienna so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!
