Small roundtrip around Europe

 It was an old plan, that we  wanted to travel around Europe by car.  We made it happen this spring exactly at Easter. The destination was from Budapest to Switzerland, Mont Blanc, Monaco and Italy. 

 We left from Budapest on Thursday. We slept at a little familiar motel called Gasthaus Transilvania in Austria. We continued from here the next morning and we traveled all day and we arrived to Switzerland, Bulle in the evening. 

 On Saturday We visited the HR Giger Museum. Hans Rudolf Giger is the Swiss painter, artist and sculptor who won the Oscar award for his design of the creatures in the Alien film. So I recommend this museum who likes those films and mad arts.







We went from Bulle to Montreux and we visited the Queen Studio Experience. You can see this for free. It wasn’t easy to find, because it was in the casino.




From Montreux, We went to Chamonix by car and took about 1 hour. We visited the Mont Blanc which is the Alps’, West-Europe’s and the European Union’s highest mountain. It is on border of France and Italy. It’s height is about 4808.7 meters but is changing a few centimeters year after year because of the snowing, weather and the movement of icecaps. It’s best to take a coat with you, because the top is very cold. You can go to the top by lift taking about 30 minutes. When you go there, don’t forget to check the opening hours!





From here we traveled to Torino and we slept there. The next morning we went to Monaco and we did some sightseeing. Monaco's official name is Principality of Monaco the Word’s second smallest country. Very beautiful, but everything is very expensive and it was very hard find hotel especially with car. It is not easy to get around by car, the streets are narrow and tortuous, parking is mainly underground.








We started back to Budapest by making a stop in Milano to see the Dome. We wanted to see the Last Supper, but we couldn't buy a ticket on the spot, you have to book in advance so we couldn’t see it. After Milano we spent a night in Verona, we had dinner, and the next day we left Verona towards Budapest.

How did we get a corgi?

The dog who we know from the social media with short legs, breadbutt, who sleeps in strange poses.   How did we get a corgi?  The Corgi has little body, he is friendly and can be taught easily. They were used to guarding and herding cattle and sheep. We saw them first in Cowboy Bebop, a japanese anime about 5 years ago. It was love at first sight. We decided, we would like a corgi too. We moved abroad to a house with a garden, we think it will be good for a dog.   We searched for the first breeder in march of 2020. We wrote e-mails to or called every breeder that looked good in the country close by. These were about 20 Corgi Kennels. We got answers from 3-4 kennels. We would have had to wait with for a puppy or notify them of our need for a puppy in the spring of next year. Not to mention, that most of kennel chose wether you are suitabe for owning a dog after the personal meeting.   We started to plan a visit in June back home to Hungary in August, w...

Why Is It Worth Visiting Bremen with Dogs?

 During the Women's Day weekend, we visited a truly special place: one of Germany’s most charming cities, Bremen, of course with our dogs. We’ve wanted to visit for a long time, and since we love dog-friendly cities, Bremen was the perfect destination for us. 🐾🌷 Bremen, the Fairy-Tale City Many people might recognize Bremen’s name from the famous story of the Bremen Town Musicians. We couldn’t miss the iconic statue of the donkey, dog, cat, and rooster, which is one of the city’s most famous sights. According to legend, touching the donkey’s front legs brings good luck — of course, we tried it too! The city center is simply stunning: historic buildings, cozy streets, and beautiful parks make it truly special. On Marktplatz (the main square), you’ll find the beautiful Town Hall and the famous Roland statue, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. The architecture and the atmosphere of the square are truly magical, as if you’ve traveled back in time. Dog-Friendly Experiences in Bremen Wh...
