Last September we took a 3 week adventure which started in Berlin and took us to Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, The High Tatra Mountains, Krakow, Warsaw, St. Petersburg, and Moscow. 7 countries and many wonderful sites, meals, and people over the 3 week trek.
We saw the great sites of Berlin but what caught our eye most was the street art and the remaining Berlin Wall. We love history and we were right in the middle of it!
Berlin was awesome – look forward to going back soon.

Brandenburg Gate – Berlin
The Great Wall is covered in new art – found this one powerful – tells the story of the thousands that wanted to escape the oppression they suffered:

Next was my favorite city in central Europe – Prague. Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe with great sites, food, people, and history. There is so much that can be written about Prague but we do not have the skills to do it justice so we’ll just share some images…
Charles Bridge and more – Prague
Old Town – Prague
After Prague we had a nice and relaxing visit to Mikulov and Cesky Krumlov. Loved this scene:
Street scene – Mikulov
Next on the adventure is Vienna – quick and easy is Vienna. Again, so much can be said about Vienna and her history but that is for a different day. We enjoyed a nice Blue Hour shoot at Schonbrunn Palace:

Had not been to Budapest in a few years BUT got to go twice in the course of 1 month! Right before this wonderful 3 week adventure I spent a week in Budapest and Prague with good friends. Didn’t have any real-time for photography with my friends but was able to get some shots to update things on the longer trip.
Parliament Building – Budapest
Chain Bridge and more – Budapest
Bratislava and The High Tatra Mountains were next. Loved the mountains and the relaxation and fresh air…
Krakow & Warsaw were next on the menu. Once again, more history than we can shake a stick at BUT plenty of cool images to be had if you get out and walk – and look – and shoot. We are only sharing a few from Warsaw for now…
We wrapped up the trip with a few days each in St. Petersburg and then Moscow, Russia. We have lots we could say about our visit but will withhold here. Weather was not the best, we were rushed (beyond our control), and had a few locals that were less than friendly with us. Even with all that we still we happy to come home with a some images we like. Hope you do too.
St. Basil’s – Moscow, Russia
Hope you enjoy the quick trip with us. We have a blast on all our trips and have some excellent ones coming up – Uganda for the mountain gorillas, Tanzania, Cuba, Japan, Indochina, China, New Zealand, Myanmar & Thailand, and more. Let us know which one interests you.
