Spring Break Vibes

Travelling- one would dream of visiting the most beautiful, historically rich and diverse countries. To be able to say, I've been there! I've seen that!
But with every travel plans comes extensive amount of research, planning, more research and finally emptying the bank for an unforgettable trip.

So here's the tale of two sisters in 4 cities

It all began in Salzburg, Austria

A quaint little town just by the border of Germany. Known as the birthplace of Mozart and 'The Sound of Music' it is a picturesque sight to take in. With the amalgamation of ancient medieval and modern architecture.
We stayed at the Yoho International youth hostel. Located within walking distance from the train station and city centre.









Taking a stroll through the city crossing from the old city to the new; the weather was perfect giving off a very chilled atmosphere.

Next stop Munich, Deutschland

We took a train from Salzburg to Munich central station and spent an afternoon wondering about before heading off to our next destination Venice, Italy


Venice, Italy The Magical City

A mixture of quaint alley ways and beaten down buildings on the verge of collapse. This contrast itself tells a story of the rich culture and the livelihood people used to have as well as the change it is experiencing.
It was a unique experience to stroll down the nooks and crannies of the city and end up in a completely different corner whilst listening to the echoes of children laughing and playing in the school yards nearby.

We stayed outside of the main city of Venice in a town called Mestre just by the train and bus station for a cheaper option and commuted by bus to Venice.








I think visiting such a beautiful and often spoken of country like Venice brings about many high expectations of what to expect out of the city. Looking back at the pictures I've only come to grasp the fact that I've been to Venice, walked it's streets and ate it's food as well as experience a short but memorable adventure there.

The final stop of our travels brought us to Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona was one city which I immediately fell in love with. Not only because the sunshine city had the perfect weather; it was filled with beautiful people, great food and the ease of access to most attraction sites; and as a beach lover it was a welcome sight being able to feel the sand beneath my feet and hear the crashing of waves as it approached the shorelines.
Our accommodation Soul Backpackers Barcelona was located close to the train station and in the centre and walking distance from most tourist attractions.



   

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson
