Well, we finally did it. We finally got to see Eastern Europe fifty years after I first set foot in Western Europe. For years, I had wanted to visit the area, but during the Cold War it was not possible for me due to my military and civilian intelligence background and security clearances. We just completed an 18 day, eight country tour of Eastern Europe; it lived up to my expectations being different yet still European. The only downer was the very hot weather we experienced: 36-38 degrees centigrate or somewhere in the 90s F. Of course, Europe only pretents to have air conditioning and you cannot get a cold drink with ice---cool or room temperature is the norm. However, the tap water in our hotels in Vienna and Slovenia was the coldest and tastest I have ever come across anywhere.
We travelled with Trafalgar Tours for the seventh time since 1992. As usual, we were either Australian, American, or Canadian. I have never seen anyone from the British Isles on any of these tours. For the first time, the Australians, who representerd about half of our group, out numbered the Americans.
For those of you who might be interested, I'll share some photos.
