Cambodia!

After two flights and about 15 hours of travel time I arrived Sunday morning in Phnom Penh. The first thing I had to do is get a visa. Even though the waiting lines were quite short, I first needed to get money out of the ATM, which didn’t work. Cambodia uses US dollars as their primary currency and I needed 20 bucks to pay for my visa. As I also brought some...

Prague!

Day 26For the second night in a row we had been sleeping on a train. We got in at Prague Central Station around 8 in the morning. Once we entered the main station we didn’t know what we saw. It felt as if we were at a futuristic airport. The station looked extremely modern and had every facility you could wish for. Bars, shops, tourist info, internet cafe...

Our mission back to Poland

Day 25The day started early. The night train arrived (for once) right on time in a town called “Lwow”, just before 7 in the morning. We got off, headed for a toilet on the station. From there we were trying to get a train across the border to Poland. That way, once in Poland we would be able to travel on our Interrail tickets again. We went to the counter...

Kiev!

Day 22The alarm we had set for 15:00 turned out to be unnecessary as we woke up around 13:00 by ourselves. It did take us another good two hours before we managed to get up and get ready. We drank some water and had a shower.At 16:00 the taxi which was taking us back to the trainstation of Simferopol stood waiting in front of the hotel. We grabbed our bags and said...

Trains & Kazantip!

Day 16After first going to another big SPA in Budapest, we made ourselves ready to go to the Sziget festival. We had a shower and walked towards the river where we were getting a boat to Sziget. Another Dutch guy from Rotterdam joined us too to the festival.The boat ride took a little longer than we had hoped for, but once we got to the festival all was fine as we...

Sarajevo & Budapest!

Day 11After getting up we had a bit of time to kill. Everyone felt quite rough after the partying we did the night before. We sat down and chilled out in the tv-room. Around midday Cliff and Marc came around to the hostel. We put up some music and relaxed some more.Afterwards we went for some pizza. Two girls from Canada joined us, so we had a nice group of people...

Dubrovnik

Day 9After getting off the bus at the bus station of Dubrovnik we walked all the way to the hostel, which turned out to be half an hour walk. Thankfully it was still early so the sun was not too hot just yet.Once we arrived at the hostel around 7:30am, we off course werent allowed to check in yet. We left our bags in the luggage room and decided to have some...

Cities, lakes and beaches

Day 5We decided to explore the city of Zagreb today. After a nice picknick in the park we walked into town. Zagreb is a nice city with quite a few churches and a big cathedral. Maria joined us as well. We walked the whole afternoon. After exploring the city we headed back to the hostel as we had to book our bus to the Plitvice lakes.After we had the bus booked we...
