After school began, we’ve become very dependent on our son’s schedule. So, during the autumn holidays, we had no choice but to travel somewhere.

Italy
This month I had a chance for the first time in my life to visit Italy. We arrived in Venice and then made stops in Bolonia, Florence, and Pisa. At a glance, the difference between Italy and Germany is that there: people speak English, follow the fashion, and you can pay everywhere with the card.
Königstein Fortress
While it is still warm outside, we decided to spend some time outside and visit Festung Königstein (Königstein Fortress). We took the S-Bahn from Dresden and in forty minutes found ourselves in Königstein town.

Astana
During my trip to Germany I spent couple days in Astana. Initially I planned to stay only one day, because of huge ticket prices in arrival day and twice cheaper on next day. However, I was able to leave Minsk earlier, thanks to Belavia return policy with 100% return of money. So I had a […]
