Next stop: Warsaw. Thankfully, the weather broke on the first day so the temperatures returned to a bearable level. I was practically dancing in the streets when it started raining. I had a (slightly soggy) chocolate icecream in celebration. Warsaw ... Read more >

I somehow managed to make it to Bratislava Airport so on time that I was there to meet Doug even though the plane arrived half an hour early. Go me, right? So yes, for the next few days I had an official travelling companion in tow for all my adventures.... Read more >

So I arrived in Budapest bright and early for another swelteringly hot day, after having managed fairly little sleep. Definately prefer night buses to night trains. The public transport system is pretty great in the city, although unfortunmately ... Read more >

So despite the excitement on the border, I made it to Bucharest on time. Not to the bus station I was expecting, but I got pointed in the right direction and it wasn't too long a walk. Plus it was early morning and therefore the heat was still bearable ... Read more >

Now, I rather foolishly thought that getting in to Moldova was going to be the difficult part. But not so. Perhaps it was because we arrived at a relatively civilised time at night rather than stupid o clock in the morning, so the guards still had ... Read more >

After the Polish-Ukraine border crossing and the old stories of visa scams, I was expecting the worst for the crossing into Moldova. It was actually a breeze. We were through in no time at all, all passports stamped. One thing I didn't think I'd be doing ... Read more >

So, in the evening of 9th July I got the night bus from Krakow to L'viv. There's a lot to be said for night buses: they're not uncomfortable (as long as you have short legs and don't get travel sick, like me), they're cheap and they're often quicker ... Read more >

Just for once, the train trip to Krakow went by with no ticket issues. WIN! I headed over there with a few folk from the hostel who were all heading on to Krakow and all staying in the Stanger hostel too, on the basis that the Stranger in Wroclaw ... Read more >

Wroclaw is an attractive, small city. And there's one thing you have to do if you go: see the Raclawie Panorama. Google it and you can find out the details, but basically it's a huge canvas that creates a 360 degree scene of the Polish victory over the ... Read more >

So, Monday 2nd July I packed up my stuff and waved farewell to Prague. I found my train okay and managed to get into a carriage with someone who was no only going to the same hostel as me but had also just finished a degree at Nottingham Trent. Small ... Read more >

Coming back to Prague was definately the best decision. When I got to my hostel, I made some tea and got chatting to people in the kitchen. The other hostel (Miss Sophie's) had been dead, but this one actually had friendly people. I decided there was ... Read more >

Man, this all seems so long ago now. Good job I'm keeping a regular diary else I wouldn't have a clue. I never realised you could fit so much into one day! If nothing else, travelling certainly bumps you out of your comfortable routine. People may or ... Read more >

Well I've finally done it, I've finally left the country. And first stop: Prague. I found the hostel (Miss Sophie's) with no real difficulty. It's more mid-range than budget, but it was my first night and given that it's in the Czech Republic, it's ... Read more >

So, last Friday I had my 'practice' adventure to Northern Ireland with my intrepid flatmates, Em and Hannah. The first thing you notice about Ireland is how green it is. It's not a stereotype -- it is actually even greener than England. Belfast itself ... Read more >
