We Are So Sorry Rina . Last two weeks was a tragic day to our family especially to my wife. The tragedy just happened within split second. I still remember that morning, before I drove to work, I let Rina played in the garden. I want her to familiarize with the surrounding and the garden. I never thought that something bad will happen. About 8.00 a.m my wife started the car and suddenly she heard screaming from Rina and immediately she stopped the engine. Rina was thrown from the engine and lying in tremendous pain on the turf. My wife was panic and confused of what had happened. Then she realised that Rina was palying at the fan of the engine and the fan hit her right fore leg. . Immediately my wife drove to meet the vet for treatment. The leg was broke. The Doctor told us whether we wanted to salvage the leg. There were two choices for us to choose either to amputate the leg or join the bone through surgery ( I dont really know what is the correct medical term). I told my wife we bet

From Vienna to Bratislava . Bratislava is the capitol of Slovakia. Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia during the communist era and finally broken up into two separate country i.e. Czech and Slovakia. I can say that Bratislava is a small city. Prague is bigger than Bratislava. It situated about more than 100 km from Vienna and can be accessed by train for a 40 to 60 minutes ride. . Our first intention was to stay in Bratislava for a day, but since it is very close to Vienna then we decided to be there for a day trip. I cannot remember the train cost but it is very near. Since we don't have enough time and got to arrange with so many things therefore we decided to be there on Sunday. Unfortunately all the shops were closed during week end only Tesco opened to public. Not many people here are English speaking and we were struggling to communicate will locals. All signages written in Slovak and made our life more miserable. Luckily we found aplace like a square to buy few souven

From Prague to Budapest . It was not easy to manage your travel especialy when you have limited time and budget. You need to decide where and when to go first and which hotel to book. At the same time you have to find the info for the train or bas schedule and where is the station for next departure. Everything you need to plan in advance unless you are guided by the travel agent and everything is prepared for. With this mode of travel i.e. free and easy, everybody must play their role and must be in mobile and alert all the time especially being in a country that almost alient to you. . The train to Budapest from Prague was schedule at 11.00 p.m. We only spent two days and one night in Prague. Sometimes it is better to travel at night at least you can sleep on the train coach and save your budget. We expect to reach Budapest about 7.00 a.m. We already book the hotel but the hotel emailed us that they cannot comfirm immediately but only by tomorrow morning and we need to call back for

From Vienna to Prague . Straight after sahur we went to the railway station heading to Prague. Bags already being packed and to tell Susan that we going to keep our bag in the store and will be back after 4 days time. If Im not mistaken the train planned to leave vienna for prague at 6.30 a.m. Before that, I already browsed the internet to purchase the tickets using Euro Train which can deliver right to your door step at your country. But it was not practical since we got no address and we resided in deep savannah area. So we tought that we can purchase tickets when we arrive Vienna for the Eastern Europe. Then only we relised that the tickets dictate differently when we ask the ticket counter. We got no choice but to proceed with it eventhough quite expensive. One thing must be in your mind if you are in holiday is that never stingy about money. Holiday is for you to spend. . In the journey I occupied my time mostly reading. I need to finish 'A Time to Kill' by John Grisham s
