This trip is chock full of adventures and misadventures, now isn't it. So here's the story on this morning: After walking around downtown for a few hours, I decided to go back to the train station to take a nap and wait for the luggage room to ... Read more >

Well, so much for that plan. I got to the train five minutes before it left, only to find out that I need a reservation. Drat. So now I've got a reservation for the next train going down that way, which leaves at 11.00. I think I've even got a return ... Read more >

I got cut off last night mid-sentence because my food came, then I found internet, and then I was exhausted so I went home to sleep. So let me try to recover my train of thought: Zagreb, unlike its Eastern neighbours, is a (mostly) clean, foreigner-... Read more >

It's amaying how good a hot shower, clean clothes, the promise of hot food, and being able to take your eyes off your bag for more than five seconds without worrying about gypsy children making off with it can feel. I'm sitting in a pub right now in ... Read more >
SERBIA & MONTENEGRO | Wednesday, 6 Aug 2008 | Views [23]
I am now adding "confirming ticket prices before handing over money" to my list of important travel lessons learned this trip. I just dished out a whole 20€ for a ticket from Beograd to Zagreb when I really only wanted to pay as far as Sid, ... Read more >
ROMANIA | Tuesday, 5 Aug 2008 | Views [23]
Well, I'm certainly feeling better. I was a bit off kilter when I first showed up here. This was because I knew nothing about the city, didn't recognize anything about the language, was hot, was hungry, was thirsty, and misplaced a decimal when withdrawing ... Read more >
ROMANIA | Tuesday, 5 Aug 2008 | Views [21]
Wow. Romania is not what I expected at all. We're only halfway to Bucureşti and yet I think I've already got a pretty good impression of this country. It's somewhat hard to imagine a place like this is a part of the EU, but it is. There is almost ... Read more >

I'll post more poorly written stories and maybe even some pictures later. I've already got them all written down, just not on the computer. Now I've gotta go catch my train. Ciao!
HUNGARY | Monday, 4 Aug 2008 | Views [33]
I either look Hungarian or just not worth the effort to talk to. I am amused. A couple of girls giving out tourist info for Budapest just skipped right over me. The Hungarian border was pretty neat. There was some huge, dome-roofed palace or castle ... Read more >

I am becoming increasingly annoyed with rail travel in Eastern Europe. The people are friendly, the food and beer are good (and cheap!), and the landscapes are beautiful, but the trains just suck. As I'm writing this I'm sitting in the stairwell of ... Read more >
