ByTravelling Minion June 22, 2025 1 Comment
The whole Minion Family are heading to Europe! This time we are making a short visit to Vienna before spending a majority of our time in Germany.

Today I start my journey home! After waking up and spending a bit of time packing, I head down to the restaurant for another excellent breakfast! Instead of describing the breakfast from yesterday, I do want to highlight how happy I am that many of the Middle Eastern hotels seem to offer a wide variety of fresh juices. Those that know me know I'm a huge sucker for watermelon juice and I am super...

I'm excited to start the day here on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi! Since this isn't my first time visiting, I have a few specific things in mind. The first is actually my accommodations.
