Our trips around the world…
Budapest has been high on our list of must see places for a long time...So finally getting there felt somewhat surreal. We had 4.5 days to explore this vast city during a heat wave which saw temperatures hitting the 40 mark. Joy. As with any touristy city, the 'tourist bubble' was very noticeable. When we...

Having originally booked to stay 3 nights in Zagreb, Croatia, we had a change of heart. We had had enough of Croatia and decided to move things around so we could have some more time in Hungary.

We stayed in... Continue Reading →
Not for the first time on this trip, we were glad that we have small bags. The early arrival of the bus gave us 4 hours before we could check in to our hostel, meaning 4 hours of exploring with bags. We certainly don't miss our 25kg 70 litre monstrosities from our year long trip!... Continue Reading →
