Berlin By Water – 63 Bridges In 3 And A Half Hours

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

We are touring the city of Berlin by water today.

Berlin's Oberbaum bridge

During our cruise from Miami to Barcelona on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty Of The Seas, one of our luncheon companions who lived in Berlin told us that this was an absolute “must do” activity during our visit to the capital of Germany.

We have decided to take a round trip from Friedrichstrasse wharf to Charlottenburg. This trip travels along the Landwehr Canal towards Charlottenburg, then returns along the Spree River via Spreebogen to Friedrichstrasse.

Our trip takes about 4 hours, including a stop of a little over 30 minutes in Charlottenburg, offering the chance to visit this part of Berlin. Of course, it is possible to stay over a little longer, and catch a later boat back.

This tour is one of a number of river trips referred to as Berlin Bridge Tours, as they take the passenger under approximately 63 bridges on the circuit trip. According to the promotional literature, this offers more bridge transits than it is possible to experience even in Venice.

We have found this to be an excellent way to see the great city of Berlin from an entirely different perspective.

The weather in Berlin has been ideal for such a trip, with bright sunshine, yet not too hot to enjoy sitting outside on the top deck, or downstairs at one of the comfortable tables.

The trip is incredibly relaxing, with the boat travelling at about 8 km/h, and of course the river surface is smooth so that even the most wary traveller should be free from any discomfort.

MS Fortuna

We’re traveling on the Fortuna, a ship of the Reederei Bruno Winkler Line.

Our travels have taken us from Friedrichstrasse past the Berlin Museum, the and the Oberbaum Bridge (Oberbaumbrucke).

We then left the Spree River and joined the Landwehr Canal.

During our trip, the boat passed through 3 locks, in itself an interesting experience, seeing the way in which the boat is secured before the gates open to allow the water level in the lock to raise or lower. Once the level has equalised with that of the water in front, the gates open fully, and the trip can then proceed.

The scenery along the trip was varying sufficiently regularly that there were few chances to become bored. During our time on the boat, we travelled through high density residential areas, city facades with buildings backing directly onto the river or canal, open park lands, tourist market spaces,

Dakota Aircraft - Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin

luxury hotels, modern business parks, the Berlin Museum, the German Museum of Technology, together with one of the Dakota aircraft that managed to sustain Berlin throughout the airlift of the late 1940s, the Berlin Zoo, the Tiergarten, and of course a great many other vistas.

This particular cruise cost us 18 euros each for almost 4 hours of travel around the waterways of Berlin. We both considered this to be a very reasonable charge considering the relaxation and scenic qualities of the trip. Several of the tour operators offer the chance for you to hire (at a minimal extra charge) a set of headphones that will allow you to hear audio descriptions of what you are seeing in your own language.

We could definitely recommend this trip (or something similar) to anyone who wishes to find out what the city of Berlin looks like from a very different viewpoint.

Bratislava – Vienna – Prague, Three Meals, One Day

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

Breakfast Buffet At Marrols Hotel

On the day that we traveled from Bratislava to Prague, we decided to treat ourselves to a special meal whilst in Vienna.

At the beginning of the day, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the Boutique Hotel Marrol in Bratislava. The hotel is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels group, and we definitely found that this was an excellent description for the hotel itself.

The breakfast was a buffet style, with a very wide range of offerings covering a very broad range of gastronomical tastes.

We enjoyed a choice of smoked salmon, poached or scrambled eggs, frankfurts or grilled sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, a beautiful selection of cheeses and cold meats, espresso coffees prepared to order, a wide selection of breads and danish style pastries, and fresh and lovely fruits.

One of the most impressive things about our breakfast at the hotel was the opportunity to enjoy a glass of lovely Slovakian sparkling dry white wine to start our day.

Despite all of this breadth of offering, we decided upon a light breakfast, remembering that we had a luncheon reservation upon arrival into Vienna.

Following a very interesting ride down to Schwedenplatz in Vienna on a high speed catamaran (see this article about that trip), we made our way to the Gastwirtschaft Huth Restaurant located at 5 Schwellinggasse (close to StadtPark) in downtown Vienna.

Our trip from the boat to the restaurant in Vienna was fairly straightforward. We made use of the very fast and efficient U-Bahn underground system from Schwedenplatz to Stadtpark station.

Despite having to endure slightly damp weather in Vienna (the first rain we had seen since we arrived into Europe some 10 days earlier) we were able to successfully manage the short walk from the station to the restaurant, arriving some 5 minutes after the time of our reservation.

The staff in the restaurant were marvelous, assisting us in the task of storing our belongings next to the bar whilst we enjoyed the meal, then attending to our needs very well indeed.

Huth Restaurant, Vienna

We discovered and made a booking at this restaurant as a result of the reviews and ratings that we found under Vienna on the Trip Advisor web site.

This eating place was rated extremely highly by others who had visited, and offered the type of food and eating experience that we were seeking whilst in Vienna for just a few hours.

We decided to try out both sides of the menu. The menu (provided in English) listed a selection of traditional Vienna dishes as well as a modern “interpretation” selection based on capturing the best in Viennese cuisine but using more imaginative ingredients and preparation styles.

Barbara selected a crème of roasted wild garlic soup with spring onions. Her comments were that this soup was one to die for. The color had a subtle pale green tinge to it, apparently extracted from some spring onions that had been mixed with the roasted garlic and whisked. The addition of cream and some subtle herbs and spices resulted in a soup that had a great texture (not too smooth) with subtle hints of the garlic and onion flavors melding together.

The presentation of the dish at the table was also quite memorable. A bowl with a centrepiece of pieces of roasted pork mixed with chopped chives was put at Barbara’s place, then the soup was poured into the bowl at the table.

My soup was also excellent. It was a traditional Vienna beef consomme that was served with some chives and a duck liver dumpling (again served at the table). The overall taste was quite complex with the richness of the liver dumpling offered a good counterpoint to the delicate flavors of the consomme.

For our main course, I selected to try a genuine Vienna Cordon Bleu, while Barbara chose a dish of crumbed pork and mustard pieces.

Both dishes were accompanied by a side dish of potatoes, one with chives and the other with winter greens. The presentation of the potatoes was extremely interesting, since they were finely cut and served in a bowl mixed with a thickened broth, spanish onions and winter greens.

My cordon bleu was succulent without being either too rich or greasy. The escalope of veal (absolutely white) was folded over a slice of prosciutto style ham. The cheese as rich and creamy, and the flavors combined together very nicely indeed. This appeared to me to be one of the best cordon bleu dishes available in Vienna.

Barbara’s dish was very nice, although she felt that it didn’t have quite the “wow” factor of her first course. The pieces of thinly sliced pork were coated with a mild mustard then crumbed and lightly fried.

The result was perhaps not that different from a vienna schnitzel prepared with pork, rather than veal.

We both enjoyed a wine with our main courses. Barbara selected a riesling style wine that was crisp, dry and showed fresh floral characteristics. I went for a cabernet merlot style wine of 2005 vintage. Very nice indeed!

Unfortunately time was against us in terms of sampling the desserts and coffee at the restaurant, because we needed to board our train to Prague on the other side of Vienna.

We would certainly recommend this restaurant to anybody visiting Vienna who is looking for a combination of excellent food, great service and a convenient location.

After our arrival into Prague we found our way to the hotel at about 8:00 pm, and must confess that we decided not to indulge too much further. We simply enjoyed a quiet and very light repast before retiring for the night.

If you are traveling through Vienna, then you really should allow time for a meal (or two).

Bratislava To Vienna By Water Along the Danube

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

An unplanned component of our trip arrived by virtue of a stroll along the banks of the Danuj (Danube River) yesterday afternoon. As we watched the activity with river cruisers, tourist sight-seeing boats and others on Easter Monday, we noticed a fast Twin City Liner catamaran pull into one of the landings by the river’s edge.

Twin Cities Liner on Danube River

We noted down the name of the service operating the boat on the Danube, and checked up on its activities online.

It turns out that the Twin City Liner runs regular commuter and tourist services along the River
Danube between the two capital cities.

Vienna and Bratislava are the two nearest capital cities in Europe, being only some 60 km apart and both built across the Danube River, so opportunities do arise for services such as this one which is able to make 6 international trips between European capitals in a single day.

The Twin City Liner service runs along the Danube from 3 to 5 times per day (season dependent), and takes between 75 and 90 minutes for the journey (depending on the direction of travel).

We thought that this would be a great opportunity to see more of the countryside in both Slovakia and Austria, as well as to experience travel along the Danube.

The cost for the Twin City Liner was somewhat lower than on a river cruiser, with our single leg from Bratislava directly into Schwedenplatz in Vienna costing only 19 euros each.

Unfortunately, the weather has closed in somewhat overnight, and the views from our catamaran are not as bright as they could otherwise be.

There are about 30 other travelers on our service, although we suspect that the later services may well carry more people. Ours is the first up river service of the day, having already delivered from Vienna those tourists who have planned for a day in Bratislava.

We have been astonished by the size of this river, and particularly at the speed of the water that is flowing down towards the sea. I’ve estimated a speed of some 8 knots in some sections, when gauged by the wake generated by the stationary channel markers.

The Twin City Liner travels along the River Danube at a speed of some 50 km/h.

The vital statistics of the boat are as follows: engines – 2 each with 1000 hp capacity, driving water jets. The catamaran itself has a length of 34 metres, a breadth of 8.5 metres, and a draft of just 1 metre. The maximum speed capacity of the boat is said to be 75 km/h.

As we are traveling up the Danube river, we are noticing a number of little huts (raised off the ground) with wood burning stoves and heaters and the bare necessities for riverside life. We can’t tell whether these are available for rental or are simply weekenders for Viennese families, but they certainly would offer a unique “out of town” experience.

This is a great opportunity to travel in a different way, and to enjoy the vista and sense of traveling along the Danube – an iconic European river.

Bratislava – A Taste Of The Real Slovakia

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

Bratislava is a delightful place to visit

We visited Bratislava on the evening of Easter Sunday, and stayed until Tuesday morning.

In some ways this was a little unfortunate since most of the shops (and indeed the tourist information offices) were closed for the Easter break, and we therefore had to make the most of our own resources to discover just what Bratislava has to offer the independent tourist.

We were quite surprised about the breadth and variety of historic buildings and architectural monuments that abound in the old town sections of the city, despite the fact that this city seems to receive less tourist information and publicity than many other places in this region of Europe.

We are able to report that we enjoyed our time in Bratislava immensely.

Bratislava is a very compact city, and it is possible to walk around the old town region of the city at a relaxed pace, yet have sufficient time to take in the history and grandeur of the old Bratislava.

Even today, Bratislava’s population is less than half a million people, so the city still maintains a human scale, enabling the tourist a much better

opportunity to interact with some of the locals and find out some more about what it is like to live in Bratislava today.
We found that the time we spent walking about Bratislava was one of one surprise and delight after another. Not only was a seat in the old town square somewhat distinguished by a gentleman in eighteenth century uniform leaning over and looking over the shoulder of anyone sitting there, but

Bronze papparazi photographer in Bratislava

around another corner just a block away, a sly photographer was catching a snapshot of events in the next street (maybe a 1920′s version of the papparazi!).

As we visited Bratislava on Easter Monday, there was a service underway in the Cathedral adjacent to the square. A number of tourists took the opportunity to join with the local people in the church to celebrate the Christian significance of this time of the year.

The castle overlooking Bratislava (Hrad Castle) dominates the town, and has outstanding views in both directions along the Danube River (Danuj), as well as the surrounding lands. It was documented as early as 907 A.D., and has had many face lifts as it’s function has changed over the centuries. It is currently undergoing major internal renivations, and unfortunately the inside is not open to visitors at the moment.

Ice Hockey Player Sculpture

The other aspect of Bratislava that became very obvious as we continued our tour of the city is the fact that the forthcoming world Ice Hockey Championships are due to be held in the city in late April and Early May of 2011. We encountered a number of slightly larger than life hockey players in various colours located around the city in strategic locations.

This event will be a major boost to Bratislava, bringing the eyes of the world to this great part of Europe for at least a few days.

We encountered many local people during our time in Bratislava, and found that the majority had sufficient grasp of the English language to make themselves understood, and (more importantly for us) to understand our comments and questions.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending that Slovakia and Bratislava should be on the itinerary of anyone planning to visit this part of Europe.

Marrol’s Boutique Hotel – Bratislava

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

Marrol's Hotel Bratislava - Lobby

While we were visiting Bratislava, we decided to experience the ambience and facilities of Marrol’s Boutique Hotel, just a three minute stroll away from the waterfront of the Danuj (Danube River).

You can find out more about this hotel by visiting their website at: http://www.hotelmarrols.sk/

Marrol’s is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels group, a selection of small boutique hotels around the world.

Members of this group of hotels must meet certain minimum standards, yet offer a much more personalised level of service than is usually available with the larger hotel chains.

This was certainly the case when we checked in at Marrol’s Hotel .

We were ushered in to a space more reminiscent of a Victorian salon than reception desk. After being seated, we were offered a choice of welcoming drink whilst going through the paperwork. We both selected to sample the Slovakian sparkling wine Hugo, which is available in a sweet or dry variety.

Once we finished the check in process, we were taken up to our room where we had been told that everything in the room was complimentary. This inlcuded all of the tea and coffee materials, chocolates and wafer biscuits, as well as the contents of the mini bar, which was refilled daily.

The mini bar contents included the usual natural and lightly gassed waters, Slovakian beer, a hlf bottle of really enjoyable Slovakian Riesling wine andd some chocolates and nuts.

The room itself was extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished and appointed with real timber finishes and lovely bathroom amenities. The hotel also provided good quality bathrobes, slippers and shoe cleaning and polishing accessories, etc.

Marrol’s hotel had an enclosed summer garden, ideal for guests wishing to relax outside but still in the privacy of the hotel. Complimentary soft drinks were available to guests enjoying this space.

Complimentary internet access and breakfast were of course included in the tariff for the hotel.

Marrol’s Hotel also offers the Jasmine Spa area in which guests are able to indulge. Not only is it possible to book a wide range of massages in the spa, but guests have the opportunity to book the facility, including exclusive usage of the whirlpool spa, sauna, plunge pool, shower facilities and relaxation area as well as a complimentary bar (beer, wine and soft drink) and fresh fruit.

Breakfast at Marrol’s is also something to experience. The buffet selection was very extensive, with almost any taste catered for.

Guests could begin their meal with a glass of sparkling wine (we did), and then follow up with cereals, fruit selections, espresso coffee to order, cold meat and cheeses selections (with an extensive range of cheeses), pates, a range of hot breakfast choices, including three varieties of eggs, bacon, sausages, frankfurts, tomatoes, mushrooms and a traditional Slovakian bean accompaniment.

Not to mention the fantastic range of breads and both sweet and savoury pastries.

The hotel also boasts a great restaurant which serves a range of modern and traditional Slovakian dishes together with a very wide and reasonably priced wine list.

For anyone who would like to spoil themselves with fantastic and memorable service at a very affordable price, please make a point of booking your accommodation at Marrol’s Boutique Hotel during your visit to Bratislava.

A Not To Be Missed Eating Experience In Belgrade

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

Tchaikovsky Restaurant

We were lucky enough to discover the Restaurant Tchaikovsky whilst we recently visited Belgrade (Beograd).

This eating place links the Terasije Square and Balkanska Street in the Stari Grad region of Belgrade. The restaurant is a part of the Hotel Moscow, one of the iconic accommodation venues in the most interesting part of old Belgrade.
For more information about the Tchaikovsky Restaurant and the Hotel Moskva, we recommend that you visit their website at: http://www.hotelmoskva.rs/en/ .

Here, you’ll be able to discover a lot of information about the hotel and many of the celebrities who have stayed at the hotel over the last 100 years, and also download a copy of the menu for the restaurant, so that you too an drool over some of the great dishes on their list.

We succeeded in eating at this establishment twice in the two nights that we were visiting Belgrade (it was simply so good on the first night that we had to return).

We must acknowledge the great work of Executive Chef Stojkovic Kata and his team for putting toegther such a great selection and maintaining a consistent quality.

The range of selections on the menu is excellent. We counted 8 cold appetizers, 8 soups and 8 hot appetizers before we got to mains and desserts.

We tried a number of the soup choices, and have to say that each of our selections were absolutely delicious, each with a range of unique flavors, beautifully presented and a wide selection of breads to enjoy with the soup.

For mains, we sampled the grilled marinated squid, stuffed pork fillets and turkey breasts with gorgonzola sauce. Each of these were accompanied by delicious fresh vegetables.

The salad we selected, Sopska Salad, was just magnificent, with tomato, cucumber, ground black pepper and topped with grated fetta cheese. Following the first night, we had become aware of fine slices of hot chilli carefully disguised to look like cucumber.

Although we didn’t manage to sample the desserts, we must say that they also looked absolutely magnificent.

On our second night at the restaurant, we also asked the waitress about a possible choice of wine. Having explained that we enjoyed a dry red wine without too much bite, we were recommended to try a Serbian Cabernet Merlot variety that she personally enjoyed and believed would suit our tastes. She was exactly right! The wine was one of the best that we’ve experienced out of Europe, with a subtle complexity and nose that we found very enjoyable.

In terms of costing, we found that this restaurant didn’t break the bank. The bill for the second night (with our bottle of wine) came to just over 5,100 rsd (which equates to around ? 50). We consider that this is extremely good value for a meal of this quality served in lovely surroundings, complete with background accompaniment of a pianist on a grand piano.

Whatever you do, when you visit Belgrade, don’t miss this opportunity.

Cadiz – Europe’s Oldest City

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

Cadiz - Old quarter

Cadiz is strategically located on a narrow piece of land in Southern Spain, just outside the Straits of Gibraltar.

The city is almost entirely surrounded by water, and was considered to be of great strategic value over many centuries.

The history of Cadiz goes back to the time of the Phoenicians, who founded a trading port on the site in about 1100 B.C. Over the intervening years, many other cultures and societies have fought and claimed Cadiz for their own strategic base. These include the Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths and Moors, amongst others.

Because of its location and geography, Cadiz is a very compact city, and very easy to explore on foot.

The city walls are still on display along the sea front and surrounding the old town, offering a unique view of life as it might have been in the days before cars, trucks and motor scooters took over the narrow cobblestone streets between the rows of lovely old buildings.

We took advantage of our time in Cadiz to explore the lovely old parts of town, admiring the Alameda Gardens, visiting the Church of the Carmen and sauntering through the Parque Del Genoves.

Our wanderings (amongst numerous attempts to discover where we were on our walking map) enabled us to find many quaint little squares, discover some ancient pre-Roman walls, admire the magnificent cathedral that exhibits many architectural styles from the Byzantine domes and clusters through the neo-classical influences of the 19^th century through to what some might consider an unfortunate 21^st century layer of glass and steel that now fronts the street.

We enjoyed taking time out in many of the squares and plazas around the city, talking with friends, enjoying some excellent coffee and brandy, and discussing how Cadiz would be a perfect place to visit for anybody who wasn’t looking for the hype and excitement of big city life.

Our time in port didn’t permit us to also visit Seville, about 90 minutes drive inland from Cadiz, although we were reliably informed that this is one of Spain’s real showcases.

However, maybe we will return with more time to explore this lovely part of the world at the bottom of the Iberian Peninsula.

Our Upcoming Itinerary

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

Sample TripIt Presentation

The process of planning for our forthcoming round-the-world trip was not an easy one, since there were very many different issues that we needed to put into place to have a plan that would work and meet our needs.

We used a fantastic tool called TripIt (to be found at http://tripit.com) as an integral part of the planning process that we have used for the trip.

There is an earlier post about TripIt, and we decided to really give it a good workout while piecing together our itinerary.

Among the issues that we had to deal with were:

finding a suitable cruise to take us across the Atlantic Ocean from the Americas into Europe
linking in air travel options between Australia and the departure port for the cruise
Arranging suitable activities through Europe following the disembarkation from our cruise ship.
Linking all of this in to a fixed date of departure from Europe back home.

The final itinerary that we have developed with the assistance of the TripIt planning engine is:

Flights from Melbourne to LA and then from LA to Miami
6 days in Miami
Board Liberty Of The Seas for transatlantic crossing from Miami to Barcelona
Sightseeing in Barcelona, then Elipsos night train to Milan (Gran Classe)
Wake up in Milan, then travel by rail to Ljubljana, Slovenia
Explore Ljubljana then board train to Belgrade, Serbia
Explore Belgrade then travel to Budapest, Hungary
Budapest to Brastislava
Bratislava to Prague, with lunch in Vienna
Prague to Berlin
Berlin to Mainz
Day river cruise from Mainz to Bonn, thence rail to Dusseldorf
Fly from Dusseldorf across the channel to London
Board flight from Heathrow to Singapore
Spend a couple of nights in Singapore warming up from the European climate
Back home to Australia

During the coming days and weeks, we’ll be keeping this travelogue up to date with summaries of the adventures and observations that we make during this trip.

All Insurance Is Not The Same

By oltravelblog · Comments (0)

News feeds at the moment seem to be offering mixed messages about how insurers and airlines have been dealing with passengers claims as a result of recent travel disruptions.

It appears that many UK based passengers have reported problems in terms of claims for the additional costs incurred as a result of staying much longer on the continent than was originally planned.

EU air transport regulations do provide an obligation on airlines to provide a level of support for travelers as a result of delays in return travel. However, these obligations appear to be a little vague, and are based on “reasonable” expenses.

What is “reasonable” to an airline confronted with massive losses due to the recent volcanic ash events in Europe may not seem so reasonable to a stranded passenger.

Another issue that has become quite significant is that of relying upon limited forms of insurance. Many travelers make use of the travel insurance offered as part of the package for those with premium credit cards. Whilst this coverage certainly does offer a level of protection, you should still look at the fine print attached to this cover to ensure that it will meet your needs.

An example of this is that one well known credit card provider has a travel insurance policy that allows for “Travel Inconvenience Cover”, defined as cover for: delayed flight departure, flight cancellation, denied flight boarding, missed flight connection. Unfortunately the limit for this coverage can be less than $US200.

Many travelers consider themselves to be covered if they purchase coverage that is offered at the time of purchase of a flight ticket.

Again, such policies have very limited coverage for flight disruption, since they are limited to a specific pricepoint and are primarily aimed to protect the purchaser against losses relating to the specific air travel components of the trip.

Travelers wishing to cross the English Channel did have a number of transport options available, including Eurostar, other train services and ferries. Unfortunately the options were not as great for those passengers wishing to travel to or from the Americas, Asia, Australia and other locations outside Europe.

The basic message here is that travel insurance is a matter that travelers should carefully consider the terms and conditions that are offered, and not simply jump in unprepared.
