We started in Vienna with the markets. I met some polar bears there that I wanted to play with. They ignored me.

Christmas Markets: Prague
So, we went to many cities in November and December, all because Kate and Keith love hot wine - they also say because they want to be in the Christmas spirit. You be the judge of the motivation! Anyway, it was ok because I got to go too. Here we are in Prague, in the Old Town Square, on the Charles Bridge, and at the Palace with the guard.
Visiting Sinaia, Romania
So sorry we haven't updated in quite a while. I am sure you know it is not because we have nothing to tell! We have been exploring, traveling and generally enjoying the fall and winter in Europe.
Sinaia is a beautiful town about 150 kms north of Bucharest. It is in the foothills of the Transylvanian mountains and is the former vacation place for King Carol I and other Romanian notables. It is beautiful. Here are some pics of our adventure. The weather was terrible but the scenery was still beautiful. The building in the background is Peles Castle where King Carol spent his time when he was here. Kate took me on a trip up the mountain in a gondola. She kept me warm and safe.

We went to Turkey to celebrate Mary's b-day
Lorraine and Bob were very tolerant of me and my annoying habits! What great people to travel with.
I like ruins but must we stop at every one? In Turkey, that's quite a lot.
So we went on another boat ride. I said, I did this already in France, but no one listened to me and I am glad they didn't! It was unbelievably beautiful. A truly great day. The boat trip passed this island where the captain of our vessel lived. The only way to get to this island is by boat. See the castle on top?
