Hi from Europe!!
We are wrapping up an amazing week in Austria and gearing up for our second week of our trip in Hungary. Today was Chana Laya’s birthday and we decided the activity should be really kid friendly and less exploring :).
Chaim Shaul found a water park about an hour away from Vienna right over the Czech Republic border. Not a word of English spoken by anyone, the only Americans for sure on location, and it was a blast. I think it’s very cool to mix up your trip with touristy stuff and some random off the beaten path local experiences.
The water park was called Aqualand Moravia and I was really impressed! Very efficient, very clean, and the kids had no problem navigating it at all!
When Chaim Shaul and I “plan” these trips we actually plan very little. We book an Airbnb and that’s pretty much it. We get to our location, get the lay of the land, work with the vibe of the kids and go from there. Does that mean we miss out on some stuff? Absolutely! But the trade off is worth it. We aren’t pressured (we as in me IYKYK) and that’s a very big point of our travel. There is always a moment of overwhelm when you see all the stuff there is to do and you know you can’t do it all and how do you choose? You take it one day at a time. Being present and fully enjoying the moment that you’re in, always works. And no matter what, you are going to miss stuff, so knowing that that’s inevitable takes the pressure off.
I am so grateful for the things we got to do in Austria; it’s an incredible country! There was a lot more I wanted to do in the Austrian Alps so I hope I get to come back one day! For more details follow me on Instagram, where I share a short daily recap.
Excited for our week in Hungary!
You know I’ll keep you posted!
