Today calls for gloomy skies

Today calls for gloomy skies

Today we are doing one of our favourite things, a guided tour. This morning we are walking around the heart of the central power of the Nazis and later drama of the Cold War. Luke is our tour guide, and somehow we found another Canadian. He's originally from Toronto...

Road Trip, Anyone?

Road Trip, Anyone?

Before any good road trip starts, if you can't find a Timmies, you must find a bakery. That was our first task of the day and boy, were we ever successful! We must have been STARVING going in because I think we ordered one of everything. We didn't even feel guilty. Or...

From Berg to Berg

From Berg to Berg

We have officially started our road trip with a walking tour in Nuremberg to end up in Bamberg. Considering that Nuremberg was 90% destroyed in the final days of WW2, they have done a great job making this a beautiful city. A massive job of either repairing,...

A Day at the Spa is Exhausting

A Day at the Spa is Exhausting

The tennis racquet is put away and the final goodbyes have been said. It’s now time for us to hit the spa in Erding. This place is massive! Basically split into two halves - the first side is for families with water slides, pizza, and a food court. The other side is...

Just Another Travel Day

Just Another Travel Day

Today was a travel day. Planes, trains and automobiles all played a part, once again. While not a necessarily exciting day, it was very productive. Some highlights: I had the most delicious Chausson aux Pommes (Apple Turnover) of my life. It was like eating a puffy...

Cannes You do the Cannes Cannes?

Cannes You do the Cannes Cannes?

It is Jason's last day of tennis...in France. After the impressive storm yesterday, the courts really took a beating and they weren't sure if tennis was even going to happen. However, being used to living along the French Riviera, the club was prepared for this...

Lunch on the French Riviera

Lunch on the French Riviera

After my tennis today, Janelle and I are heading over to Nice for lunch at a very special restaurant. Le Plongeoir sits upon a couple of rocks on the Nice shoreline. Nestled in between Billionaire's yachts, people enjoying the beach and 20 year-olds cliff jumping,...
