The final pic is a town in Italy which most Tourist will NEVER go and I have never heard of it. We went just because it was a good place to spend the night on the way back from Croatia. Took this pic of their town square in the evening.

Next trip is USA in June 2017. We avoided USA for vacation for many years as I dislike the long flights to USA and the loooong immigration queues every time I faced at SFO airport. We thought it is good to bring the kids there once and my wife love the shopping so here we were, touring California on the summer of 2017.

When our day tour to Grand Canyon was canceled on the day itself, we drove all the way ourselves from Las Vegas... Took some pics and back 🙂

We have to visit the theme parks in California for the kids. I think they had a great  time but I don't really remember much about them. It super crowded though and taking pics in always tough when it is crowded.

The following pic is shot in Downtown Los Angeles. We thought Downtown is like CBD Singapore, nice and clean... but it is not really. I remember it was pretty seedy. But they have nice Graffiti.

Next vacation is in December 2017 to Eastern Europe. We flew into Munich, went down to Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Prague. First stop in Vienna. We love trying out cakes and pastries in Europe. The angmo food is a hit and miss but the cakes are almost always very good.

Budapest is quite a nice city to visit. This was our first visit and we were a bit apprehensive going there free and easy. But it turned out pretty good, stuff there were cheap, it is easy to move around using public transport, everything turned out pretty nice.

This shot was taken after the circus show in Budapest. We left halfway in the intermission because one of the kid in front of us is sick. Did not want to catch any bugs halfway through the vacation. The circus was fun. We like going to circus in Europe, like the one in Moscow. They had like real lions in the reception area and you can like stand beside it to take a photo....

Budapest Station early morning to catch a morning train... Had some time so we took a few shots while the kids waited behind me. I realised a lot of my favourite shots are not done in tourist attractions but during our "travels" from point to point.

Slovakia is not really in the travel plans of many people, and Kosice is just a small town in Slovakia. I still enjoyed by stay there. I actually think such places are more enjoyable than lets say Prague where is it expensive and crowded with tourists. I am surprised I managed to convince my daughter to go out early morning in the second pic. She will never do that now.

This was our second visit to krakow after the first visit there in June 2015. This time round was in December with the Christmas lights. Over 90% Poland population is Roman Catholics so you can really feel the Christmas atmosphere. We had trouble hiring a driver to drive us from Kosice in Slovakia to Krakow on christmas Eve... There is just no good rail connection for that route so we went by private car hire. 

2nd pic is Alex at Krakow 2.5 years ago. They really do grow up quick...
