We landed in the capital of Tirol after a train-bus-train shuffle from Villach, but even this inconvenience was carried out super-efficiently and offered a different look at the country. The snow-capped mountains came closer the nearer we got to ... Read more >

By now, we've fine tuned our train-catching skills like a well-oiled German machine, and boarded the rail jet to Villach without a hitch. We chose this route south because it winds it's way through some beautifully scenic country. Steep precipitous mountains ... Read more >

We made good time to get to the train station early and settled in for the three hour ride to Vienna. The rail jet trains are more comfortable than the other one we tried, and reached speeds of up to 160kph. So the countryside zoomed past us for most ... Read more >

Budapest remained cloudy with drizzling rain for most of the day, and that's probably not a bad way to describe our spirits, drizzling. But the hotel supplied ample information on tourist opportunities, as well as a good buffet breakfast, so we planned ... Read more >

The pre-dawn start at the Brasov station went smoothly and we found ourselves to be the only passengers in the first class carriage. It didn't take long before we left the city behind and the familiar scenes of farmland and woodlands replaced the ... Read more >

I owe it to everyone reading this blog, and to myself of course, to write one last chapter. I think I've had a great escape from my monotonous, suburban life back home, and I've tried to make the most of everything San Agustinillo offered me. ... Read more >
