Now, as you may know, I am rather fond of beer these days. While Prague is full of amazing places to drink and discover the stuff, sometimes it’s nice to go further afield in the quest for a nice pink (well, half litre). It was over a year ago when we first discovered Tábor’s annual … More Tábor Beer Festival
There really isn’t that much to say – one day, we decided to go to Dresden. This part of Germany is surprisingly close to Prague – a 2.5 hour train ride – so we decided to make a day trip and see what Dresden was all about.To give you a little history, Dresden was … More Germany: A Dreary Day in Dresden
They say a picture speaks 1000 words. So, here are a whole ton of words for you, in photo form. Sometimes it’s hard to really explain what it’s like living in Prague from day to day, so I’m hoping that these pictures will shed light on the whole experience a little more…
In my time here, I’ve seen a lot, done a lot, learned a lot. It’s not often that I put these things into words, exactly, but I’m going to try. So, here are things I’ve learned from Prague, about Prague and the Czech Republic in general. Hopefully they will give you a window into Czech … More 33 Things I’ve Learnt From Prague
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
