Visiting Kilkenny Castle came recommended by other
I honestly don’t know where to begin when it comes to the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. Legendary and iconic are some words that come to mind when I think about this hot spot. In 2019, the chain is celebrating 20 years and this location is celebrating 10 years. After all this

This post is a resource: a summary of my 13-day trip through Czechia, Southern Germany, Alsace (France) and Milan. Also included, where we stayed.
