England and then Home... : (

Our last stop on our adventure was England where we were very fortunate to stay with the incredible Hosannah Family. We ended on a very good note..we had great weather and we were able to see so much. We got to see all the major sights in London and a highlight was seeing a Shakespearean play at the Globe Theatre. We also went on a day trip to Windsor Castle, Bathe, and Stonehenge. A special thank you to the Hosannah family for your hospitality and kindness.

It may seem that The SharOb Experience has come to an end..but it has only just begun. Nonetheless, we want to first take a moment to thank and praise God for going before us this whole trip. He always provided and paved the way for us. Secondly (as a result), we want to thank everyone who helped us plan, opened up their home, provided food, or just spent some time with us crazy travel fiends. Lastly, we would like to thank all those who commented on our posts, we really enjoyed reading them all. For all of our new foreign friends, we invite you to continue to check this blog, we will keep posting. We hope to be on a new experience soon....so until then we leave you with our late dog, Muneca, who is looking up at us from below...

Last Stop-Amsterdam

Our final leg brought us to Europe's 'sin city', Amsterdam. The city left us with mixed emotions because the city itself is quite beautiful but it is polluted with anything and everything. We started out in Edam with a relaxing bike ride in the Dutch countryside. From there we went to a clog and then CHEESE demonstration and loaded up on some famous Edam cheese. Then we made our way into the city and went to the Anne Frank Museum. We highly recommend that you visit this museum; any explanation would not do it justice.

Then we spent the rest of the afternoon walking around...getting a feel for the place. Our evening was spent with the group on our final dinner which was at an Asian Fusion restaurant!! The following day we made our way back to London and spent one last night out with the group. This leaves us with one final week, and thanks to the famous Talisman Group, we are staying with the lovely Hosannah family.

Switzerland

We had the most amazing time in Swiss...first we went to Luzern and spent the afternoon there enjoying the lake via a paddleboat. From there we went to the most amazing campsite in the world in Lauterbrunnen. It is in a valley surrounded by mountains that re lined with waterfalls. We spent the next day checking out the waterfalls (Trummelbach Falls), biking, relaxing, and eating CHEESE!! Good relaxing time...we are so blessed to be able to return to swiss

Czech Republic and Munich

People, go to the Czech Republic!!! Not only is it one of the cheaper areas of europe but it is beautiful. Even beer is cheaper than water!!! We stopped in Cesky Krumlov for a lovely lunch and picture stop and then moved on to Prague. We had 2 full days to explore the city and did we make the most of it. What is unique about this city is that even with its large jewish population it still managed to be spared of the Nazi destruction. We got to go up to the castle, visit several baroque/romanesque cathedrals, see the historic jewish quarter (that is a picture of a jewish cementary), the main square with world famous astronomical clock, watch the sunset over the river that cuts right thru town, experience our first ONE stop 'pub-crawl', and had the best and cheapest beer of our whole trip. From there we went to Munich in Germany and spent the afternoon in the city before going to the famous Munchner Haupt Beer Hall for dinner...quite an experience, lots of pork knuckle and steins. We would also like to thank everyone for their help in finding accommodations for London. Thank you Mr. Saldanha/Dad for arranging a place. See ya soon...

check out who we saw in Prague!

Croatia, Budapest and Vienna

We spent three days in the Croatian city of Dubrovinik. We got plenty of sun and beaches as well as visting the amazing old walled city area. From there we passed thru Zadar for a night and then went to the capital of Hungary, Budapest. It was a relaxing day of walking around and at night we went on a dinner river cruise. We had a feast and watched the sunset over the Danube river. Then it was on to Vienna, where we just finished another day of sightseeing. We got to the the famous Hofburg palace as well as the renowned Spanish Winter Riding School. We also went to a schnapps museum where we got to try ALL sorts of schnapps liquors and liquers. Tomorrow it is off to Prague, our final three-night stop. Our trip is truely coming to a close, we only have to pitch our tent 5 more times!!! We intend to make the most of these remaining weeks and would appreciate it if someone has an accommodation hookup in London. We will be there for a week starting the 6th of June. Thanks

Peace out

Turkey to Albania

Today marks the final 2 weeks of our camping adventure and since our last post, we have visited quite a bit of Eastern Europe - Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, and we are currently in the beautiful country of Croatia. Passing through these countries makes one really appreciate what you have regardless of your circumstances. Although our trip is coming to an end, we are looking forward to what God has planned for next - cause we know there has to be more travelling involved!

We're campers...that's how we roll...

So..we are half way through our tour. We have been to 8 countries so far and currently are in Turkey. We arrived here from Athens after getting a little time to relax in the Greek island of Corfu. Camping has its ups and downs but definately more ups. Plus in this short time we already have made some good friends and have seen and eaten plenty. For the last couple nights we have been staying in hotels...thus sleeping on a PROPER BED!!! Here are pictures of some of the main countries/cities we have been to...see if you can guess them all. They are: Paris, Barcelona, Monaco, Venice, Pisa, Rome, Corfu, and Athens. Talk to you soon, keep us in your prayers.

p.s. Happy Mothers Day!!
