This week is the last weekend of July. I don’t have much time writing in a couple of days so I am trying to share it now. I am packing my luggage again for another trip. I am happy, I will be visiting some countries in Scandinavia again. I was in this region in Europe last spring time and we visited Oslo, Norway and Copenhagen, Denmark. It was a lovely luxury cruise and I cannot imagine that a simple person like me who loves to travel finally made another wish came true! This coming cruise trip which will start on July 30, we will be visiting other countries including Stockholm (Sweden), Hensinki (Finnland), St. Petersburg (Russia) and Tallinn (Estonia). I am quite excited!

I am trying to remember how many times did I already visited Mozart’s birthplace. Any guess out there? I laways love visiting Salzburg. It is not only famous as the birthplace of 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but it has a lot of interesting and historical sights to offer in every guest and visitor.

Another sunny day today! We are having too much sunshine at the moment but I am thankful that it finally rained yesterday. The plants and flowers in our garden are overjoyed! The weather during the past days and weeks was too hot which slowly made the ground cracked. I am glad that it did finally rained yesterday. I don’t need to water the plants until today…I am hoping!
Back to the main topic…I was almost late in my doctor’s appointment this morning. The other week, I also went for an emergency visit to the dentist. My denture was broken and I am thankful that I had it fixed the next day

Are you familiar with this festival in Bavaria, Germany? I know some of you know about this..some maybe not. The Landshuter Hochzeit or the Landshut Wedding festival is truly a must to experience when visiting Bavaria. It is a festival held every four years in Landshut.

Some might not be familiar about this little country located between France and Spain. Andorra is a landlocked microstate in Southwestern Europe, located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France. It is officially known as the Principality of Andorra also called the Principality of the Valleys of Andorra.
This country is very interesting and I am glad that I was able to stay in this country for four days. The hotel where we stayed is located in its capital city known as Andorra la Vella.
