A Week of Travels with Renee

Sunday, April 17, 2016

We started our journey in the good ole Spa town, Karlovy Vary, in Czech Republic. It is well known for its 13 hot springs and 300 smaller springs, the Karlovy Vary International Film festival, and the glass manufacturer for Moser glass is located in Karlovy Vary. 

People from all over the world have come to Karlovy Vary to test it's healing waters, believed to have cured various diseases even dating back 650 years.  Today, you can buy yourself a porcelain spa cup and drink the waters from the main springs for free.

Renee and I made sure to give it a try!

We stayed at the luxurious Grand Hotel Pup for the night. If you've ever watched Casino Royale, you may recognize this gem. The rooms were spacious and fancy and we spent a wonderful afternoon/evening receiving Thai massages and relaxing at the pool and spa. We felt so relaxed!

After our wonderful time in Karlovy Vary we headed out to Munich to enjoy some sights and great food and beer.


You can never go wrong with a beer or big pretzel at the Hofbrauhaus in Munich.






Back in Salzburg for the second time in 3 weeks, I think I should be a tour guide for this wonderful city and also for the Sound of Music! 

One of Renee's all time favorite movies is the Sound of Music,  so taking the tour was a must! I've taken a bike tour for the Sound of Music back in October, but this bus tour took us to other sites that we missed the last time.

On our way to the town of Mondsee where a beautiful lake and mountains surround the area, we stopped for some apple strudel and a cappuccino. Why does Europe have the best desserts?

The yellow church below is the church that Maria gets married to Captain Von Trapp in the Sound of Music movie. It's ornate statues and beautiful pink walls makes it one of the prettiest churches I've seen.


Salzburg is such a beautiful picturesque city. I never get tired of taking photos of this place.  


Renee and I had such a wonderful time traveling, that it made me think about all the fun times we had  together in College. How I miss those days and our crazy times! 

I also really missed Nia and Cindy who complete our small Delaware crew during this trip. But, there will hopefully be more opportunities until we are all reunited again.  Miss you girls!
