Fjord Tour to Bergen!

-

Mama: We travelled from Fläm to Voss via the Fjords. It was pretty stunning views! Then we bussed to the train station via the steepest road in Europe. An 18% grade slope! And very twisty with lots of switchbacks. We found our BnB and walked around Bergen. We’ve been enjoying vegan hot chocolates and cafe lattes at the Espresso House - the Starbucks of Scandinavia. There is Starbucks here, but it hasn’t taken over. Oatly oat milk is soooooooo delicious! But not available in Canada. 😡
Bud: We got to sail on a boat in the Fjords. And then we got to theow some rocks in the river. And then we got to on a bus and then a train and then we finally arrived at our Air BnB. We saw a giant slug. 
Bun: I found a big shell that Indy kinda broke and you can maybe make it into a necklace. We tried the veggie patty sandwich at Subway.

The Eye of the Earth!

  Mama: Good-bye Korčula! We packed up the car and plotted the road to the Eye of the Earth - a really cool freshwater spring - at Bud’s request. And after one ferry, two giant bridges, seven u-turns and 200 km, we arrived! It was really cool. And really cold!! It was unexpected, but was probably 5 C! We checked it out and then split for Split! (Great mama joke!) Papa: Google maps has not perfected Croatia. The highways were great, but as soon as you exited, all bets were off! The eye was cool, but definitely needed a drone. It was nice to get to Split. We arrived and unloaded and then found a delicious Indian restaurant in the old town.  Bud: It was a really long and tiring car drive, but it was worth it to see the eye! We don’t know why, but the spring was really cold! Colder than the hotel pool. We weren’t allowed to swim in the spring, but I don’t know if we would have anyway. It was that cold! It was nice to get to our hotel in Split.  Bun: It was a long day in the c...

Mama: We packed up and said good bye to Croatia! The flight was quick and on time. We landed in almost 40 degree heat! It cooled down a tiny bit and we walked for pizza and a quick look at the Colosseum! Kinda bonkers.  Papa: We can see the Colosseum from the hotel. That’s pretty cool.  Bud: I’m excited to something new! The Colosseum is pretty crazy. I can’t wait to see inside.  Bun: Going to Rome is super exciting because one of my friends did her expository on Rome and she was right! I love it in Rome, even though it’s hot 🥵.

A Bug’s Life!

Mama: We had a slow day! The most exciting thing (aside from doing all our laundry) was seeing a Praying Mantis! I didn’t believe it when the kids said they saw one, so I sent them back with the camera! We also got a closeup of a cicada. The noise they make is aggressive. Papa: A nice slow day with pools, beaches, ping pong and dinner. All organized and ready to go to Split. Bud: We didn’t do anything today. But I spotted a Praying Mantis! Mama didn’t believe it, but I was sure. We played at the pool and the beach pool and got ready to leave. Bun: We had a chill day at the pool, then got organized to leave tomorrow. We got snacks at the grocery store. Then we went to the beach for late afternoon play and dinner. The tooth fairy finally came! I got five euros and a two euro coin for Bud. But she left me tooth. I wrote her a note to remind her take it tonight.
