Although Mallorca is not too large, only 2 hours distance from east coast to west coast, but Mallorca offers many places to enjoy. Starting from Arab Alfabia Park in Soller, just a walk in Palma, enjoying the beauty of the bay in Alcudia, or through small villages and drinking coffee, and so on.

Mallorca, the island located in the Mediterranean Sea is one of the islands belong to Spain but Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. After flying for one hour and 45 minutes from Munich, we landed at Playa de Palma airport. At first I thought it would look like in the Bali airport, but it wuiih …. Mallorca Airport including luxury and dense enough according to the size of an island.

Mallorca has a population of around one million people and tourists visited an average of 8 million people per year. No wonder all the facilities at a high enough standard Mallorca, adjusted for tourists who mostly dating mainly from Germany. For the Germans, Mallorca is a ‘summer terrace’.

From the airport we drove to Cala Ratjada is located on the east coast Mallorca. Trips taken about 90 minutes via the highway. After check in at the hotel, we start down Cala Ratjada. Cala Ratjada was once a small fishing village, which since the 70s muiai built for turismus purposes. Own rocky beach and if we want to enjoy sunbathing on the sand, we had to walk about 10 minutes to Agulla or Sol Cala Mol. Cala Ratjada, however well known to those who love diving.

The streets in Cala Ratjada filled the small shops that sell a variety of equipment pool, beach clothes, toys and restaurants. Frankly I could Mallorca disappointed to find very, very German! Hahaha … Almost everyone in the tourist areas speak German. I even had time to try to speak in English and still be answered with German language! Useless dong before leaving us behind memorize standard sentences in Spanish.
Since we brought our new son almost 9 months old so we decided to not go too far. Following objectives: Capdepera, which can be achieved by using public buses. In ancient times the port city of Capdepera that is relating to Menorca. Capdepera us in taking the time to see Castell de Capdepera, a ruined castle that is not too large, but comfortable for enjoying. Admission is not expensive, only 1 Euro per person.
In this Capdepera we also saw a bunch of kids in traditional dress Mallorca Mallorquinish the dancing and singing in the middle of the field. Nothing like this was exactly what we wanted to see and uh, also granted hehehe …

Other cities we had visited was the church Sankt Arta and Eglesiasnya Salvador, and also Ermita de Betlem, a remote spot near the beach is used by the missionary to retreat. If you like to visit the stalactite caves, coves de Drach (Dragon Caves), located in Porto Cristo is very worthy to be visited. This cave is filled with light-colored lights (duh, really reminds me of the caves in Halong Bay yah?) And is very well groomed.

Mallorca Frankly is not cheap if you take the complete package of travel agents. But do not despair! Because Mallorca have lot of cheap hostels and apartments. Flights can use a lot of airline offering cheap tickets from mainland Europe. To down Mallorca, you can easily take a bus (full schedule, just on time and not crowded) or rent a car (price competition).

Travel across the region south of Extremadura travel by train like a toy, which looks much greener stretches across the hill with a set of Oak trees that have been old age. More than half of the Extremadura region covered by nature with a view like that, this is known in Spanish as dehesa.

Oak trees are scattered and there are many farm animals. Like the kind of Iberian pigs spend their time sniffing their noses to the root of the oak trees looking for seeds.

Exotic birds such as Hoopoe is a common sight in Extremadura but to be able to see the Great Bustard bird you need a fortune, this is because this bird is very shy.

Bustard Bird species can grow up to be as high as approximately one meter and can weigh up to 18 pounds, so this bird is one species of birds that live on land that has the heaviest weighting.

Extremadura now become one of the most important wildlife reserves in continental Europe. Many other mammals living in that place depend on the population of old oak trees there. Most of Extremadura is an industrial area but the local government decided to establish nature reserves on land area of 18 thousand hectares of the park is named after Monfrague.

Inside the park visitors can be brought by the tour guide drove to Castillo de Monfrague (Monfrague palace) is situated over the rocks as high as 500 meters, surrounded by bird’s vultures (a type of falcon).

This type of bird has a wing span that can reach the size of three meters. This bird is a marriage between European and Asian birds that have black color and are categorized as the largest bird of prey. There are about 250 couples who successfully cultivated in the Garden Monfrague so that the area is the largest colony in the world for these types of birds. One of the rarest animals that can be found in this park is the Imperial Eagle (a type of falcon) that can only be found in Spain.

As with other migratory birds that stop in this area, there are also types of White Stork can be met in Extremadura at the beginning of the year. It is a cheerful bird that can be heard in early January when the birds are busy making a nest that can weigh up to two tons.

Based on the kremlin moscow russia is the main history of the fort located on Tverskaya street and heading north if you can direct to St. Petersburg with a length of 750 Km. Besides, Moscow State also located in the middle of the Continent that has a temperature of at Contintal where summer weather is temperate approximately +28 degrees Celsius or (84F) and at last winter temperature so the temperature reaches -25 degrees Celsius or (-13f ), So the weather in moscow state quite predictable, because the other side of the country moscow weather will bring you the feeling of a very positive emotion during the summer or while it lasted the winter. Where is the north magnetic pole located? Because the Arctic is very cold and covered with ice the earth’s magnetic north pole was very close to Russia in nearly 40 miles or 64 kilometers per year caused by a change in the magnetic core of the planet.

Salzburg, 11:57 pm

Paris, 17:00 pm
At the Place d’Italie station. We are waiting for the metro that will take my first time seeing Eiffel tower. Down on beer Hakeim I still have to walk to reach the Eiffel tower. Climbing the stairs out still has not seen the tower that once made Paris famous throughout the world. We try to treat our stomachs with food before China is located in front of our noses. Hunger can indeed conquer all.

Turn right from the Chinese restaurant, I could only stare at one another the beauty of human handiwork named Gustav Eiffel. Really amazing. I can only shut the hell * flashy rich Eiffel night was so beautiful, covered with yellow lampu2 that adds beauty.

Promptly at 7 pm, a white flash lampu2 back shining splendor and beauty add Eiffel. The flash was only out once every hour. Long line of people from around the world with berbeda2 skin color, which is in line with a neat line to ascend to the top of the tower was not my intention to discourage climbing to the top of the Eiffel.

Nearly an hour we were queuing up to finally reaches the top of Eiffel tower. Paid off already feeling tired line. From the Paris looks more beautiful at night. Eiffel’s romantic. Knows how many couples around me that with lovingly affection each other. May be carried away by the atmosphere that night in Paris when it was being cleared. If it’s possible to keep on top to enjoy all this beauty, a sense of coolness that makes us rushes down.

Paris, 09.00 am
Was in front of the church Notre dame was very grand, reminded me of a story The Hunchback of Notre dame the most famous. long queues in front of the church to rise to the top of the tower was our intention to let it ride. 470an steps that must be passed to make us think a couple of times to come in line. I finally just went into the church to enjoy the amazing architectural beauty, rose windows in the north tower, the altar that represents ‘the vow of Louis XIV’ and many more.

Souvenir hunting became one of the mandatory agenda. Paris price slightly cheaper than Austria, and that makes us all the ‘little’ excessive * waste kata2 clear that not too much… a little to spend money. past the hotel De Ville, we input the foot to the nearest Mc Donald. Hunger can not make us think to look for another restaurant alternative.

Arriving in Prague, we exchanged the euro currency in Czech crowns, as well as purchase tickets to Vienna in the next few days. Czech Republic does have a standard of living lower than in other European countries. This makes some relative prices far cheaper, especially food and drink.

From the bus station, armed with maps that are owned, we walked into the Apple Hostel before we messages (again) through the Internet. A youth hostel is small but clean. Shaped hostel room dormitory where in one room consists of more than 4 beds. It’s a common form of lodging in Europe. One thing that shocked me was the open bathroom. Oriental nature (which thankfully is still there) finally made me choose a shower in the morning once.

Wenceslas square after lunch at a fast food restaurant is famous throughout the world; we begin exploration in Prague at the New Town. By using the tram and the ticket one day, we go to Wenceslas Square and National Museum. Wenceslas square is the area of Prague’s famous shopping area. Admiration clicking sound out of his mouth is to see a row of shops with beautiful architecture, classic, and combined with a series of icons of modernism and consumerism.

This beautiful building row ends with a National Museum which was so magnificent and architecturally fascinating buildings. This museum contains a collection of pre artifacts from history period, rocks minerals and petrology, paleontology, zoology and anthropology. This museum has a collection of rock that is complete with an interesting shape and I’ve never met before. The rocks from the bowels of the earth have style, color and different textures. Some even like the treasures that exist in a fairy tale.

Weather Clock cold astronomical makes lunch so short. We decided to go back to the hotel and rest until evening. While looking for dinner, we headed to old town square, the other glory of Prague. This is the heart of this city the past. Buildings consists of many famous historical, such as The Orloj (Astronomical Clock), Old Town Hall, The Church of Our Lady before Tyn, the Baroque Church of St.. Nicholas, The Rococo Kinsky Palace and The Fourteenth-century Bell Stone House. Astronomical clock show itself at certain hours. The sound of bells and small statues that came out of it makes me determined to wait until the needle points to the length of 12 digits.

At that time also coincided with the Christmas market which makes the atmosphere more festive. Many stalls show typical food and drink Prague, also Christmas ornament and other ornaments. Wine feel warm Prague can be a choice in that atmosphere. Night air temperature reaches -14 degrees Celsius. Not surprisingly, I felt was in the refrigerator freezer.

The journey begins with the second day Charles visit the famous bridge, a bridge that became a symbol of the city of Prague. With the twin towers at both ends, this bridge connects the two parts of the city of Prague is divided by the river Vltava. Only the admiration that came out to see the results of human civilization at that time. Along the bridge there are also many traders’ paintings and photographs that try to offer or sell their expertise. But be careful fooled, some of them were sold paintings seemingly printout similar to the painting / picture of the hand.

After guard castle over a bridge with the sun bright enough but bone-biting cold, we entered the Prague Castle which was more surprising anymore. It’s great world cultural heritage. There are two guards on either side of the gate, with a very cold face and look straight ahead. Even when we took a picture beside, they would not budge. At that date December 24, the day before Christmas, unfortunately a lot of museums in Prague Castle closed to the public. I finally more enjoy the exterior of these buildings. A photographic tour is very satisfying.

Prague is amazing. On the way out or back to the hostel was, I still found many relics of the past buildings with European architecture everywhere. A symbol of the grandeur of the past are still there that makes me like the past thrown in Europe. Beyond the fact that the city is a bit dirty, especially in the outskirts of town, so unfortunately if you do not menyambanginya. Especially if you have chance to visit Eastern Europe.

But unfortunately, terrorism and other events make us a bit difficult to obtain entry visas. Many requirements must be met to be able to visit this country.

Vienna, the first impression is a clean city, modern but not eliminates the remnants of its past glory. Like a grandmother who was very old with the appearance of old-fashioned but still want to accept modernism in several parts of his body. It’s adequate transportation system to mess with. Metro subway and streetcar makes us no trouble to move from one corner to another corner of town. Our 24-hour ticket purchased at the machine and it applies to both types of vehicle. It’s really easy. We can choose to not have a ticket, but with a very high fine of course if caught. Examination is extremely rare. We may not have a ticket for it. But we choose to follow the law as Austrian citizen’s gives us a good example.

Wombat’s hostel we were looking for by using the metro subway, with a little difficulty reading maps and fatigue in some people to lift bags substantial burden. Hostel is pretty good, especially if I compare with the previous hostel. With the condition that bathroom cleaner, we began the first day in this city…. bath! We were so happy because her bathroom does not share with others and was in the room. In Vienna we parted with Mimi who was at home in Prague.
Vienna, 05.00 pm

Trip in Vienna at the beginning to the Schoenbrunn Palace. UNESCO World Heritage List at the end of 1996. There are Christmas market as well as in Prague. Not much that we saw in there because his palace was also closed to the public on this Christmas day. Little sorry can not see the beautiful garden behind the palace with the famous maze. From Schoenbrunn we continue the journey to the center of town. Starting from St. Stephan’s cathedral which was one of Vienna city icon. * as you go around a corner, the cathedral suddenly comes into view. Like a mountain, it is simple and wonderful; its sheer beauty lifts the spirit. Stifter Adalbert (1805-1868) * located in the center of town, amid shopping centers with the artistic bangunan2 not leave the past bentuk2 with today’s icon2 like Armani, MC Donald’s, Dior, and other brand2. the prices here higher than in Prague and even Dutch. Community income levels high enough to be one cause. I set the budget a little trouble here.

Vienna, 09.00 am
Second day in Vienna, starting with the Belvedere. The Gallery Belvedere is one of the world-famous museums. Located in the Belvedere palace that is owned by Prince Eugene of Savoy. There are two parts of the palace of the Upper and Lower Belvedere. The Upper Belvedere was a collection of 19th and 20th centuries and the Lower Belvedere is the Museum of Medieval Art and the Baroque Museum. Two buildings connected by a Baroque garden is very beautiful. Winter does not diminish the beauty of the park. My camera is not even enough to record the beauty of the place. Really “amazing”. We continue the journey to the Danube canal and the UNO city which is the center of several organizations joined in the UN. Travel continues to Heldenplatz (square of the heroes), the Neue Hofburg (new fortress), the parliament building which was built between 1874 and 1883 by Theophil Hansen, Rathaus palace and many more.

We also back in the hunt for souvenirs here * we did a tour souvenir reply my term and also tours with a form of photography * standard * that has plates, glasses and we had a little teman2nya * terkaget2 also at a price different from Prague. But the value of a souvenir sometimes beat the rationality of a price and quality. And we went back to buy up so much. I also broke three dishes that I bought because of negligence opened a troublesome glove that. There was a sense of regret, especially when I pay for the plate a second time * there is a problem with money?
Vienna Westbanhoff, 09.30 am
the train that took us to Salzburg. After a bit frantic search for missing Sadath the tiba2 when the train left for 2 minutes. He just laughed at this panic. Panic is not over. On the train we still have to go find a seat, which again does not have the numbers because we do not make reservation in advance.
Trip to Salzburg was impressive. Very beautiful scenery. All white with snow. Again reminds me of the novel or cerita2 movie about winter in Europe. Austria is not Dutch. The topography is hillier, making the scene even more impressive. Mountains with snow on top of increasing the lovely atmosphere.

Salzburg, 01.30 pm
arrived in Salzburg. a small town, but amazing. Mozart’s hometown, the genius composer’s. Every corner of the city is much nuanced poster2 Mozart concerts ranging from classical music to brown Mozartkugeln extremely famous. Salzburg is also famous for its beautiful mountains, the Hohe Tauern, and also as a city the sound of music, a famous musicals of all time who took the set in some corner of the city of Salzburg and until now used as one part of interest to tourists.

we stayed in st sebastian institute which is part of St. Sebastian church. a place to stay very quiet. But its location is along a crowded street by Linzergasse stores. also unique because the reception staff is only open from 9-12 and 16-21 hours. We arrived at 14.00 to wait 2 hours to get into the room. we use the waiting period for around berjalan2 hostel. Our hostel is right under the hill a very beautiful stone. It’s remaining snow on the hill as the snow last night and added to the beauty of the hill. Around the church complex is also a cemetery where several families of Mozart buried here.
