One of the things I have always wanted to do – and especially since I saw ‘Pretty Woman’, was to go to the opera, and watch it from an incredible box seat. So, given that I was staying directly across the road from the magnificent Vienna Opera House, I thought this was the perfect opportunity …
As you know, I have been living the life of a digital nomad for several years. While not traditionally a ‘work from home’ life (since I don’t really have a ‘home’ anymore), there are many similarities between the life I live, and that experienced by those who have a more traditional job and work from …
What do pink bunny rabbits, the Vienna Woods, monasteries, and boat trips in underground Nazi airplane factories (yes, you read that correctly!) all have in common? They were all part of just one more day exploring Austria… but let’s start with yesterday afternoon. I heard the unmistakable clip-clop of horses’ hooves outside, so peered out …
Now, on to find R2D2 and the other oddities… You think I jest? Aha! What is this we spy hiding in the bushes? OK, that mission accomplished… On to Brno to find the two-headed hanger-on-er-er… More snow… All along the highway there was billboard after billboard, all with the Czechia flag and we were wondering …

It seems in order to even drive past the US embassy, one needs to be searched… That is all well and good, until one cannot find the lever to open the hood…………. oh dear… Some time later… they finally let us go (although they never did get to look under the hood!)… Yes, that is …
First stop was the Strahov Monastery… with the Strahov Library on my bucket list. Upon arrival, we were informed by a very grumpy lady that the library was closed for lunch – so we decided to do some exploring and come back later. Before leaving, however, we peeked into the beautiful church… On our way again, …
I now know what it feels like to fit a whole week’s worth of experiences into just one day! …and who are Fred and Ginger? You’ll just have to read and find out… My trip to Prague was AMAZING! … and there was no way I could fit it all into one post, or two, …
