Earlier this week Kongo visited Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera (the quarry) in Barcelona. This home was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi and built in 1910. Kongo–under the guiding instruction of Mrs. Kongo–has become a bit of an architecture groupie and visiting the modernistic creation on the Passeig de Gràcia was a highlight of their stay in Spain.
Kongo recently completed a 13-day ocean cruise aboard the Viking Star, the newest addition to the Viking fleet. The Viking Star represents the company’s first foray into the world of ocean cruising and the monkey was able to take one of the inaugural cruises known as the Mediterranean Odyssey. This is a review of the cruise. If you’re a fan of the traditional Viking river cruises and are considering a new experience on their ocean cruise segment, please read on.

Travel safe. Have fun.

Just one more day and a wake up early in the morning and Kongo is off on his great European adventure. Here he tries on his “red tie” attire in preparation for the Vienna Opera where he plans to see the Strauss comedy opera Arabella when he sails up the Danube through Austria. Thanks to good neighbor JoAnne who made sure Kongo had the appropriate Monkey Suit to hobnob in the State Opera House. Travel safe. Have fun. Continue reading One and a wake up…
