Coming up to the city via the bus doesn't bode well - lots and lots of high rise flats, i guess communism still rules. Then you reach the centre of town. Wow, what a difference, it feels great. Cobbled streets, great architecture and the feel of a ... Read more >

The Czech Republics second largest city, and it has the feel of a small town. I arrive Sunday lunchtime after an easy 2.5 hour bus ride and the place is deserted - soooo different to Prague. The hostel i was going to check into doesn't exist - probably ... Read more >

Wow, things got easy this time. One train journey with only one connection and i arrived. The first thing i noticed is that every little table on the train has a bottle opener for your beer. The second thing is that there aren't platforms between most ... Read more >

Well much to my amazement i found a train that went directly into the Czech Republic which would save me the hassle of getting a bus to the border, walking across the border and catching another bus (last time they treated me like a car by putting the ... Read more >

That's Vrotz-hauf to everybody here, and here is 4 hours by bus and 5 hours by train from Slavakia - ouch! Is it worth all that time getting too... no. Maybe because it's a Saturday night when i arrived, but straight away i didn't like it. It's ... Read more >

The Lonely planet guide says just get a bus to Lysa Polana, walk over the border and then get a bus to Tatranska Lominica - it's as easy as that to get from Poland to the High Tatras in Slovakia...of course reality was slightly different. The bus driver ... Read more >

I decided to take a bus to Zakopane - it's cheaper and quicker than the train believe it or not and they give you little receipts with the mileage on. I nearly didn't make the 107km for less than 2 quid with Bob. With my amazing Polish vocab i wasn't ... Read more >

I'm on my fourth and final day...i like it here, i think i may be back next week. It was largely untouched by the war and is a pleasing mix of new and old, with an old town and large, that's LARGE square that just comes alive at night. There is something ... Read more >

So I'm in the middle of a biker rally/annoy the cops days - i was just about to say how pleasant Poland was. I'm waiting for a train again - to Krakow, having left my bag (which I've named Bob) at the hotel. Yes hotel - i treated myself as it was near ... Read more >

So i got a train from Amsterdam to Berlin and it was 6 hours of chill. Reading Cloud Atlas and listening to Frou Frou (to put me in a German mood) and The Shins, "this will change your life" (Garden State - great film). I know, the film thing ... Read more >

There are only two things I hate; those who are intolerant of other people's cultures... and the Dutch (Goldmember in case you didn't know). It's not good remembering that line, i kept walking around and talking in that shtupid aschent and wanting to ... Read more >

At last - it took long enough. The following is a journal, more for me than for you. I apologize (sic) now for the spelling mistakes and the poorly written diary entries. May the journey begin :)
