Just married and a taste of Austria

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

We got married! We’re in Austria!

Things have been quiet on the blog because… surprise! (or maybe not) Liebling and I got married last week in an intimate ceremony in Berlin!

Despite the wedding being fairly low-key, wedding prep, tending to guests (my mom and auntie flew over for the nuptials), and other travel (him and I spent five days in Bordeaux at the end of June, followed by me travelling to Toronto and New York City for two weeks thereafter), kept me ridiculously busy and unable to find the time to blog about my adventures.  Apologies!

After a whirlwind summer vacation, I find myself on the last leg — honeymooning it up in Austria!  We decided to road-trip, driving down from Berlin (in record time — driving at high speeds on the autobahn is no joke!), and basing ourselves in Mondsee, a small lakeside town found in the scenic Salzkammergut region.

This is my third time visiting the country, but I have never been to the Salzkammergut region.  My thoughts: so far so good!  More details later, but in the meantime some pics from my phone (which totally don’t do this place justice).

At any rate, this was just a quick dispatch from the road.  I’m exceptionally happy and discovering that wedding bells and travel are the best combination! Auf Wiedersehen!

  • Congratulations love! Been following you since you were Nikita ;). I have a friend in Austria, who’s been (playfully) begging me to come see her. One of the best advice I’ve gotten this year is to visit a place not on your bucket list. And if you add in these pics, I think I’ll give her a call. Enjoy the honeymoon!

  • Congratulations! Springing surprises on us once again. 🙂 Ha! Best wishes for a happy and eventful union with even more more surprises! P.S. Writing to you now from Berlin after stops in Reykjavik and London.

  • Congratulations! Marriage is great. I can’t believe that I’m celebrating my 5th in a few weeks. Traveling together has been one of the best parts of marriage. All the best!

  • Congratulations Oneika. You’re gonna have a fantastic time with your German hubby! I wish you lots of fun, love and happiness. 🙂
    So Austria. Yes, I’ve been to Austria a few times. It’s a small unique country where you can just hop in a train, or the car and you’re basically there. At least, from Germany you are LOL! The best experience I had was that of mushroom-hunting. It was great and so much fun!

  • Congratulations! I’m so happy for you — and impressed by your modesty. You know how intense wedding culture can get! But truly, your relationship with Liebling [will we ever know his first name lol] is a testament to the possibility of success of long distance relationships.

  • I’m trying so hard to hold back tears of happiness (and envy! hah!). Happy for you two!!! Congrats!

  • Congrats!!! You look so happy!
    I plan to be in Vienna and, hopefully, Hallstatt in the Fall. I can’t wait to hear of your travels. 🙂
    Enjoy!

  • Hi Oneika,

    Congratulations on your marriage! I’m really excited to see that you visited Austria for your honeymoon; I’ve always thought it’s one of Europe’s underrated destinations. I went to Austria back in 2011 with my good friend and had the chance to visit Vienna, Salzburg, and Halstatt { I even did a corny Sound of Music tour 😉 }. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
