Firstly, I realise that I hardly ever actually write about Prague. Secondly, I’ve been here for over a year already (how did that happen?) and have managed to discover a lot of great places to eat and drink (even if hard liquour is currently banned… grr!). I thought I’d share with you some of my … More Prague’s Interesting, Cheap and Wonderful Restaurants
We finally come to the last stop on our trip – Belgrade. After a cheap taxi ride to Podgorica airport (a tiny place, by the way) we hopped on a quick flight to Belgrade. The decision had come months ago when looking at routes back to Prague, and the decision was between flying and taking … More Serbia: A day in Belgrade
We took a bus from Dubrovnik’s main bus station to Kotor, Montenegro – a trip that should have got us there at 1pm, but ended up being more like 3pm. Be warned – although the schedule claims that the Dubrovnik-Kotor bus runs at 10am, this is misleading. There are actually 2 buses due to high … More Montenegro: Kotor and Podgorica
Buses from Split to Dubrovnik run from the main bus station (on the seafront) and take around 4 hours to reach their destination. Our bus was relatively empty, and we sat on the right – definitely recommended as the drive down is beautiful, all coastline and mountains and pretty red-roof houses. While Croatia can boast … More Croatia Trip: Dubrovnik and surrounding islands
Split It’s not often that you encounter somewhere with a history as old as Split’s. To summarise as briefly as I can, the Roman emperor Diocletian decided to build himself a palace for his retirement. This palace was completed in AD 305, and now exists as the “old town” of Split. I’m going to go … More Croatia Trip: Split and Hvar
So, the Plitvice lakes. YEAH. So, what are they and how can you get there? Well, you can turn up at Zagreb’s bus station and buy a ticket on the day, but being a little too organised I found that one company – Croatia Bus – lets you buy tickets online in advance, so that’s … More Croatia Trip: Plitvice
Well, I’ve been back for over a week and have finally recovered from my 12-day trip around the Balkans. It was amazing, we had tons of fun and we did it all by spending as little money as possible – and I’m finally ready to tell you what we did and how you could replicate … More Croatia Trip: Zagreb
As a day trip from Munich, we decided to visit Salzburg, Austria. What did I know about Salzburg? Well, of course, it’s where The Sound of Music was set and filmed, and it’s where Mozart comes from. These two facts are seemingly enough to attract tourists, anyway, as we soon discovered upon arrival. Salzburg is … More Austria: Chasing the Sound of Music in Salzburg
Thanks to two public Czech holidays, Jeff’s school decided to close for the week. As I barely had anything going on myself for the first two days, we decided to spend Saturday-Tuesday travelling a little. I’d never been to Germany before, so we decided to visit Munich. Munich is about 5 hours from Prague, and … More Germany: A small trip to Munich
Barely 2 hours from Prague lies the beautiful town of Karlovy Vary. Famous for its natural spas, every summer sees tourists flock to soothe their aching muscles in its healing waters. For many, it is a magical place, while others (including my guide book) see it as one massive tourist trap overcrowded with Russian hypochondriacs. … More Exploring Karlovy Vary
