I just found this..

"There is a call for an experience rather than a room. You can get a good meal anywhere, and a good bed and a hot shower. You cannot get the Milky Way and a good lion roar!" -John Addison, Diector, Wild Frontiers

Who's up for a good lion roar?

Happy Stones Castle in Eastern Slovakia.. a "wow" kind of view

I recently went on a 10-day study tour of Slovakia and Hungary, 2 places I have never been to before now. There are so many amazing places in both countries-- I don’t even know where to start!

Maybe some pics? Click on them for more info. If you want to talk about this part of the world, I'm ready!

I used to think that adventure travel wasn't for me because I didn't want to go skydiving or rock climbing. Well, I had the thought earlier today that "adventure travel" can mean anything I want it to: a river cruise down the Mekong or cooking classes in Casablanca or an Antarctic cruise.. because I've never done ANY of these thing, so they'd ALL be adventures!

Calling all wine lovers! I just learned of a 10-day tour scheduled for next summer exploring the wine regions of Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Who wants in? Speaking from personal experience.. the local wines there are amazing!

Let me know and I'll get you more information.

The first pic is taken at the Happy Stones Castle (yes, really) in the Tokaj region of Hungary. The 2d pic is of the same castle... I was standing in the little black Hut on the far right when I took the 1st pic.

This suite, this terrace, and these wines.. all in one place... Simak Castle in Pezinok, Slovakia. So beautiful.. and only 30 minutes from Bratislava!

Behind me is the view of Bratislava from the observation deck at the UFO bridge.

Saturday night in Old Town, Bratislava. Europeans really know how to do "citylife!"
