The Classy Glassy Adventure
Murano is a totally awesome island in Italy. It is home to the famous Venetian glassblowing; I got to see a cup and a horse being made. I also got to try glassblowing myself. At first I was nervous because I did not think that …
A Very Unique Style of Glass Blowing
I think Vittorio Costantini is the best glass blower in all of Venice (he is better than all of the glass blowers in Murano combined)! He makes birds, bugs, and fish using a blowtorch on the main island of Venice. The blowtorch is so hot …
The Boats of Venice
Venice has boats instead of cars, so I decided to write a post about it. I got to ride on a ton of boats in Venice. The water taxi is the most expensive, the fastest, and the coolest boat in Venice (but the other boats were …

Soča River Rafting
I went rafting in Soča River two times. We had a water fight as we cruised down the river. I smacked my paddle against the water like a beaver’s tail and doused the other boat with water! The river was fast, bumpy, and had huge …
Vršič Pass
To get from Lake Bled to Soča River you can take a road with 50 hairpin turns built in World War I. At the 8th turn there is a small Russian Chapel just to the left of the road. The chapel was built by Russian …
Lake Bohinj
Lake Bohinj is a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. As I got in the lake, fish swam by my feet and ducks flew over my head. We swam out to the middle of the lake. I rode a ski gondola up to the top of …
