Slovinia

Another whole family long weekend; this time to Slovenia the weekend before psychiatry exams. Clemen was hot but the rafting, kayaking and canyoning were great too! Mental note to self; never ever get that drunk the night before canyoning...

 

Eastern Europe 2005

Dear all, This is day 2 in Macedonia... I think. Everything is all a bit messed up because we came over on an overnight coach will decided to get in about an hour and a half early which meant we were in Ohrid around 3:30am [GMT+1] local time. Luckil...

 

Slovenia

Unfortunately our holiday was nearing the end, Jill left us to head home and Anita and I caught the train from Split to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, where we would spend a few days and fly back to London. The city is only small but well known f...

 

Eastern Europe 2007

在二次世界大戰時，華沙近八成的區域被破壞殆盡，隨後靠市民的努力重建，以舊市區廣場為中心，將整個城市恢復原貌。華沙的舊城區相當的漂亮，特別是皇家城堡(Royal Castle)旁的廣場，廣場旁色彩鮮麗的中世紀房舍，加上房舍後方數個教堂的尖塔，從遠方望去沒有人不被這美麗的組合所吸。 ...

 

Let´s play the traveling game.

That's what I like in my cities. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg blaring through the streets. We decided to take a mini detour to Budapest. It's been muggy and chock full of fun stuff. The day we got here, we discovered that President Bush was following us i...

 

Our 'European Vacation' 2006

Phew! Finally made it to Paris after a gargantuan effort packing up our lives in London. We were working 16-18 hour days just trying to sort through all the crap we've accumulated over the past 4 years. But we managed to get the boxes packed and sent o...

 

Slovenia

Here we are in Slovenia, a country of partying, relaxing and beer at McDonalds. Im sure other countries do it as well. The entry into this strange place was "lucky". As we crossed the border on the local bus, we stopped at our checkpoint on...

 

Slovenia and Croatia and Bosnia, October 2006

Well Vienna was a last minute decision - I had a 6 hr stop over at the airport so decided to take the excellent airport train into the city centre - it was a Sunday so lots of things were closed - but still lots to see - like the horse drawn carriages,...

 

"Ciao Bella!" Your Mom, Seriously

My last Florence-based day I decided to daytrip to Siena. But I didn't get going on the bus thing early enough, so I had to wait until a 1pm bus. Didn't leave a ton of time to see Siena, as I had to get back to Florence to catch an evening train to Rom...

 

Niddy and Bels Euro Adventure

Here are the photos of Niddy and Bels Adveture, you all got the emails but here are the highlights!...

 

Eastern Europe 2005

A fab day trip to Kotor, only 15 minutes up the winding mountain road from Budva - the route in was fantastic, up and over a large mountain - the drive down the other side into the town itself was beautiful, even if the bus we took looked about 40 year...

 

X-TREME Weekend

Thursday til Tuesday camping at Lake Bled in Slovenia with a sporadic troupe of adventure seekers. More adventure than humour to report. Had the pleasure of sharing a tent with Ross, who although it was agreed had reached new levels of ‘hotness’ during...

The Trek Home

We spent a few days chilling out in Dahab on the Red Sea Coast. Fantastic snorkelling just off the main beach and at the Blue Hole 5 mins up the coast. From Dahab we headed to Cairo (rather scary van ride to get there - crazy drivers!). A day in C...

 

Europe 2006

Day 33 - Caught the 7,16am train to Munich which took about 4 hours. Glad we have the first class Eurail Pass, the carriages are comfortable and the trains go very very fast. Europe's trains are a great way to get around. We went to Dachau and the...

 

Girls Do Balkans and The Med

The last post-trip wrap-up entry is often neglected, creating a a sense of disorganization and a lack of closure that isn't sitting well with people, myself included. From Croatia we covered much ground. We crossed the Adriatic by ferry, crossed Ita...
