Our trips around the world…
After our mini break from travel in Cesky Krumlov, we felt energised and ready to get going. We arrived in Olomouc in the afternoon, and quickly set about exploring the town and giving our legs, feet, and eyes something to do/see for the first time in a few days. The old town is split into... Continue Reading →
When we were planning this trip, one of the first places that we decided was a must see was Cesky Krumlov. I don't know if it was the stupid accent we used while saying the towns name or the photos we found online, but something told us we would love it. After a pain free... Continue Reading →
Prague, along with Budapest, is one of the cities that we had heard the most about - and also heard how amazing, beautiful, and popular it is. We had planned for 5 days there, however that ended up being cut back to 3 (as we will write about in the next post). The first afternoon... Continue Reading →
We had heard that Bratislava was a beautiful city and, not for the first time on this trip, we were not disappointed. Castles, heat, old buildings, a rain storm and ridiculously cute beavers were all in store for us. For our three nights in Bratislava we had booked to stay in a hotel aptly named...

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 chose to stay in the northern town of Gyor for two reasons: first the train from Ljubljana... Continue Reading →
The first thing that we had read about Ljubljana (pronounced "LL Cool J") was that, unlike most European capital cities, there were no sights in the city as such. Hence it was a city to just wander around and experience daily life, which sounded like it was right up our alley. The first afternoon was... Continue Reading →
I'm not going to even mention how much I hate buses. To get to Bled we had to take two of these horrible vehicles. On arrival we almost killed each other trying to get to our lodgings for the night, a sure sign that we need food. So, after some much needed sustenance (giant kebabs)... Continue Reading →
Where the hell are we? What is this place?! Is this like the Slovenian plastic surgery capital?? In order to get to Piran, the bus dropped us off in Potoroz, about 3km away from Piran. Being a Sunday, it was quite busy, and the recent run of hot and sunny weather had brought weekend trippers... Continue Reading →
There's one thing about Croatia: even though we had to ride buses, the coastal roads provide stunning views. After a long and beautiful journey from Zadar we found ourselves in the small coastal town of Pula. Pula is famous for having one of the most well preserved Roman colosseums in the world. We stayed in... Continue Reading →
