The rain arrived as predicted today so it was a slower start with no morning walk. Instead, we made use of our well equipped hotel gym before heading outside.

We spent a considerable amount of time in the city on a previous visit and have seen all the major attractions so we don't feel any pressure to run around seeing them all again. Instead, we're just enjoying the city vibes and seeing where our feet take us.

Our wanderings this afternoon took us past the ice skating rink at the Rockefeller Centre, then into St Patrick's Cathedral with its beautiful stained glass windows, then revisited the New York Public Library and Grand Central Station.

Our day ended with an Italian meal at @trattoriatrecolorinyc
Delicious food, exquisite wine and great service.

Fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow 🤞🤞🤞

We arrived in New York this evening. It's our first stop on our three week getaway.

After 19 hours of flying we swapped balmy Brisbane temperatures for the crisp cold weather here in NYC.

Our hotel @tempotimessquare is right on Times Square and we were offered a room looking over the Square.

We took the opportunity to join the others in this iconic landmark before heading off for a late dinner.

We hope you enjoy a few snaps we took of the bright lights in the city that never sleeps!

A glimpse throygh the city walls of St Peter Cathe

A glimpse throygh the city walls of St Peter Cathedral in the south western German city of Worms.

Worms was just one of the smaller cities which we took the opportunity to stop and explore when driving from Heidelberg to Frankfurt.

The 12th century Cathedral and its tall spires is one of the features. While not as heavily adorned as most others, we spent some time inside looking at the beautiful stained glass windows and enjoying the peacefulness inside.

The city boasts being one of the oldest in Germany. Much of the city's old walls remain and with no other tourists it proved to be just one of the perfect places to stop enroute to Frankfurt.

If you're planning a trip in southern Germany then make sure follow us here. We'll share some of the others in upcoming posts soon.

A flashback to our wonderful morning exploring the ancient Spanish city of Toledo.

It's known as the "City of Three Cultures" blending it's Christian, Muslim and Jewish history. You'll find reflections of this everywhere you turn in the beautiful city.

The little villages and towns of the picturesque Wachau Valley in Austria.

Flanking the River Danube, the Valley is covered in terraced vineyards, abbeys sitting on hilltops and historic towns and villages.

We loved the region and are excited to be returning to see more of the Wachau Valley at a more leisurely pace in a few months time.

Follow us here to join us as we explore more of the Wachau and Austria.

Morning mist accompanied us into the mountains to the Montserrat Monastery outside of Barcelona.

The 11th century Benedictine Abbey is perched high in the mountains surrounded by a National Park The Abbey is famous for its Black Madonna statue.

It's known to get busy with daytrippers and bus tours from mid-morning onwards so we made a point of arriving early in the morning to enjoy a visit inside the Abbey, around its beautiful grounds and walk a trail in the path.

We enjoyed the serenity and peacefulness away from bustling Barcelona for a few hours.

The brilliant tiled roof of St Mark's Church in Zagreb, Croatia.

The surrounding streets were busy so we were surprised to find that we had St Mark Square almost to ourselves when we arrived.

Built in the 13th century, the church boasts the medieval coat of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia on one side and Zagreb's emblen on the other. It's one Zagreb's iconic landmarks.

Split between the Upper and Lower towns, we found plenty of things to see and do in Zagreb. Take a look at our blog for our recommendations and include a stay on your Croatian itinerary. You'll find the link in the comments section below.
