I’ve been slowing down on the blog lately, I know.  It takes a bit of time and usually I enjoy it… but the last couple of weeks I’ve been appreciating my time off and relaxing a little more (in other words, being lazy).  So for those of you who are following along, here’s a quick update.  I hope to post more about these places later.

FYI, even when I’m not posting I usually keep the “Where are we now?” box on the right side of the page up to date, and every once in a while I update the map on the “Travel Plans” page at the top menu.  And if that’s not enough, join Facebook and add Ben and I to your friend list, we add things there occasionally too.

Cesky Krumlov (Czech Republic) – 3 nights in a hostel in this small medieval town.  We had a good time wandering the streets, and also hanging out with the hostel managers and guests.

Vienna (Austria) – 4 nights with our awesome couchsurfing host, Katy.  We  loved Vienna and had so much fun hanging out with Katy and her friends. Vienna is a really beautiful city, but it still has a live-able feel to it; like a perfect mixture of Paris and Prague.

Biking the Danube (Austria) – we just spent a day biking a nice paved trail along the Danube River in northern Austria (1 hour east of Vienna).  The weather was beautiful and so was the scenery – rolling hills covered with vineyards and little towns with old castles and churches.

Next stop is Budapest, Hungary.  We’ve heard such great things about Budapest, I can’t wait to get there.  Also Ben has discovered that he loves goulash, so it’ll be fun to go there and try the ‘real’ thing.
