Slovak National Theatre
Through out the years I’ve been to a ton different clasic shows, operas, operettas, ballet but it was my first time ever that I listen to a symphony orchestra at the Slovak National Theatre: the Historic Opera Building in Bratislava. As you can see from the image, the building has an amazing renaissance revival architechture that was constructed in 1886. My tip to you, even if you dont like the music or the play, just go anyways, for the architechture and the atmosphere. Its well worth it. In hindsight, I should have taken more images, and lots of them. I know, sorry there arent more, And I wish that I…

Vineyard in Modra
One of the nights whilest visiting Bratislava we took a bus to the nearby small village called Modra, to visit a slovakian vineyard. It sure was a picturesque little place, though it was like traveling back in time. On the busride we saw abóut two houses that had light on, all the others were completly dark because of poverty. They simply couldnt afford to turn on the lights. Or thats what we were told from our guide on the bus fifteen years ago, but I have learned some different fact in present day that tells a different story. At the winetasting they served quite a lot of different wines and…

Some more images from the trip to Pisa
Who can resist the amazing Pisa Cathedra with its Leaning clocktower and the The Baptistery? As I have told you before, it’s been quite a few years ago that we were in Pisa, but I really wouldnt mind going back. Besides the fantastic arcitechture the city is quite uniqe. When I think of Pisa, for me its the typical Italian city filled with murmur, laughter and cute little resturants and diners. I dont really think I apprisiated the city for all its worth when I was there, but looking back at the images we took it kind of hits me how beautiful the city is. And did you know that…

I miss Italy
It feels like its been a long time time since I visited Italy. Yes, I know, we were in Sicily last summer, but that just left me with a feeling of wanting more. There is so much of Italy I havent seen yet and there is so much I have seen that wouldnt mind seeing again. I can kind of see my surroundings right now, my friends and family in a somewhat panic… is she traveling again? Not at the moment but the traveller in me thats usually confined with an inside voice is starting to scream. I know I have some trips booked already but that not enough, its…

The dream of Edinburgh
I so wanted to show Angelica and the rest of our friends and family around Edinburgh, the city that I have learned to know and love. But as you might know by now, from our previous posts, Edinburgh became but a dream due to the SAS strike. Bummer one might say, but it’s like I’m mourning the loss of a dear friend. But as soon as possible, I want to rebook the trip and maybe even stay a bit longer, just to compensate. When the dream of Edinburgh became but a dream. Angelica and the Scott Monument. //Ann

It is official, our flight has now been cancelled due to the strike within SAS airlines. I’m not happy about it but I’m glad they cancelled our flight with in 24 hours before departure, atleast thats ahead of time, we didnt have to find out at the airport. This means that I get to stop doing the final laundry and stop packing my bag. For now. //Ann #flightcancelled #sas #travelblog

The strike continues
Yes, the strike continues and today there’s about 550 departures cancelled. They have reinstated flights between Tokyo, Hongkong and Copenhagen, but theres no sign what so ever of the parties comming to an agreement. So far, it says that our flight tomorrow is on time, but for those of you who has read my previous post about the strike, you know thats not for sure. All other flights to Edinburgh has been cancelled, so its not really looking up. The odds are not in our favor. I’ve been reading up on what to do if our flight is cancelled, how much of the trip you’ll get refunded but I’m guessing…
