Day 5: Now we're Sevillians!

-
Today, we packed our bags, and we were off to Seville. We first walked to the train station and got past security pretty quickly. After that, we boarded the train. There was a big foldable table and a nice soft seat. We finished some work, ate a croissant, and played Candy Crush. Once we got off our train, we went to our very nice 4-floor apartment in downtown Seville. The first floor had an empty pool and a bedroom with a bathroom attached. The second floor had a full kitchen, a dining area, and a comfy living room. The third floor had three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The last floor had a washing machine and led to the terrace, which had beautiful views. After the apartment manager left us, we went for lunch and had pizzas and tapas. Afterward, we chilled out for a while and settled into our apartment (when we arrived, the cleaners were still cleaning the apartment). We then went for a little and had a yummy chocolate crepe with gelato. We also had a waffle with drizzled chocolate an

Day 10: Let’s Split Plitvice and Zadar!

-
Today we woke up, ate some food at Hotel Jezero, and completed the last four lakes in Plitvice Lakes National Park. The trip only took an hour, finishing with two boat rides. The views were absolutely beautiful!

Then we drove to Zadar to see the Sea Organ that plays by itself using the power of the wind and the sea. The sound was beautiful but it was also very hot! The temperature was about 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the hottest day of the year! 

Finally, we went to the city of Split. It’s a beach city and we settled into our Airbnb. Then we went out to get some food. We came across Daddy Cool, a falafel resturant and we took a falafel  sandwich. Then we went to Diocletian’s Palace. Unfortunately the main courtyard was closed due to an opera performance happening the time we arrived, but we found a pizzeria so we ate some pizza. The food was ok. 

Finally we walked back to our hotel and had a great night. Goodnight, Split!

Day 1: Drive, Fly, Wait, Repeat

 Today was quite a long day! We went on two flights, drove for more than five hours, and had to go through lots of extra detours due to COVID-19. So, here’s how it started! We woke up early, around three o’clock in the morning, and finished packing all our bags. We were taking a total of four bags and four backpacks total, so we had a lot to carry! We loaded in all of our bags. Then, we tried to close the water supply to our house since our bathrooms have leaked once in the past during a vacation (the leak destroyed our wooden floor, and we had to replace it completely). Unfortunately, we weren’t able to close it, so we’re taking a risk on that part. We then drove around three hours to get to another city and then take a flight from Honolulu. We had already booked the parking spot, so we parked into the vast parking lot, took a picture of our car (so we knew where we parked), and took the shuttle into the airport. We had our boarding passes thanks to the online check-in, so we got

Day 1-2: One Destination, Two Days, Three Flights

-
November 16 was three days before thanksgiving break, but we're off anyway. We wanted to get our full two weeks of vacation in, given we didn't travel anywhere  this summer. So, we packed our bags and left school early. Our uncle and grandmother had left India first, and our aunt and uncle-in-law left second. We were the third and last party to leave our home and travel to Madrid, our first destination in Spain. Our flight itinerary would take us from Austin to Frankfurt, Germany, and then to Madrid. We took an Uber to the airport, where we easily made it through security. Once we made it through, we had an hour before we needed to board, so we decided to eat at The Peached Tortilla , an Asian fusion restaurant that serves tacos and rice bowls. We ordered the chicken tacos, the chicken rice bowl, and the cauliflower rice bowl. The food was truly amazing. There was a lot of rice, which definitely fueled us up for our flight. We then took the flight from Austin to Frankfurt. This
