Welcome to Two SOB's, our personal blog where we document our travels, our adventures and other random moments.
Thanks for visiting!
- October 21, 2010So we may not have seen the snow capped mountains we were hoping to see in Zurich, but on the train ride from Zurich to Milan we saw lots of them. That train ride, by far, has been the most scenic ride of my life. I think it was more…
October 21, 2010I can't lie. We came to Zurich without really knowing anything about the city or what things we should do here. I think we were just both hoping to see a picturesque view of some mountains. When we got up the first thing I did was peer put the windows…
October 19, 2010Today we travelled to Zurich and most of the day has been spent on the train. The train leaving Prague was scheduled to leave at 9:04a.m., so we got to the train station at 8:30 to give us plenty of time to find the platform and not be rushed. The…- October 18, 2010Today was another laundry day. We had wanted to do it when we first arrived in Prague, but the laundromats are closed on the weekends. So first thing this morning we hauled our dirty clothes to the laundromat expecting to be there for a couple of hours. We were pleasantly…
- October 17, 2010Had a great night's sleep last night and began today with breakfast in our room. Breakfast is included with the price of the room, and since the hotel does not currently have a dining room, they bring breakfast to you. Breakfast consisted of bread, cheese, ham, yogurt, an apple, and…
- October 16, 2010We left Berlin this morning and took a 5 hour train ride to Prague. We were able to sit in first class which allowed us to be in a private compartment with a couple of other folks. The compartments reminded me of those Harry Potter met Ron and Hermione in…
- October 15, 2010Today was quite chilly and rainy, but the walking tour of the Third Reich was still a go. We began the day however, hoping to walk through the Reichstag Parliament building. Unfortunately the line extended out the building and the rain was really starting to come down. So instead we…
- October 14, 2010This Hotel 4 Youth (I'm not sure why they call it that . . . There is no age restriction), had the best breakfast that has been included yet. There was a nice assortment of breads, cheeses, meats, hard boiled eggs, vegetables, cereals, etc. What a nice way to start…
- October 13, 2010Today was pretty uneventful. Our train left Amsterdam at 10:34 and 1 train transfer and 7 hours later we were in Berlin. Berlin by far had the newest Central Station that we have been to thus far. It seems that the station itself is a shopping mall/train station. Lucky for…
- October 12, 2010Today was really about beer, and Heineken Beer to be exact. Once we got going with our day we headed to the Heineken Brewery Experience. Although they no longer actually brew the beer there anymore, it was an outstanding interactive tour. I guess this is why they call it the…
- October 12, 2010Monday we left Paris and took a train to Amsterdam. The ride took about 3 1/2 hours and was quite comfortable. Upon our arrival in Amsterdam we verified the train information we would need when we move on to Berlin, and began the search for a hotel. After checking in…
- October 11, 2010Today was our last full day in Paris, so we thought what better way to spend it than by doing our laundry! We went to the local launder mat and were thankful for some people that new what they were doing who could show us the way. In no time…
