Dubrovnik

The bus ride to Dubrovnik was beautiful. Definitely an interesting ride south. As you wind along the coast the roads are intense. At several points we noted vehicles (a car, a large truck etc.) down on the rocks-cliff side. Little bit of a hairy drive, but then again - I'm glad I was not in the f…

Split, an Island, and a taste of Dubrovnik

The bus I caught from the waterfalls ended up being a regional slow-moving one. Its route took it down rural roads and through small villages. The up side of which was an exceptional view of the Croatian countryside.…

Croatia: Zagreb & the Lakes and Waterfalls of Plitvicjka Jezera

While beautiful, Croatia is still lacking a decent internet system. At least as far as I could tell. The connections that I did find were slow and the internet cafes were exceedingly expensive. As a result, it's been…

Zagreb

I arrived at 11:00 PM at the bus station. Everything was quiet. I knew that the tram stopped at 11:30 and that my hostel was located somewhere in the heart of downtown. Following my directions, I found an ATM at the bu…

Prague Part 2, Vienna & Bratislava

Bit of time to kill before I catch my bus to Croatia, so hopefully I'll get caught up! It's brutal how easy it is to fall behind and I hate writing when things are not still fresh in my memory...but here goes! Prague …

Prague

Unfortunately, the computers in this hostel are located in the bar area...soo we'll see how much I get written before I get interrupted and/or can't focus any more. There are people starting to show up so I imagine it will get fairly rowdy before long. First - in general. Prague was a very diff…

Oktoberfest Day 3

After pushing hard the previous two days we took it easy Sunday morning. We slept in until about ten and then kicked around the hostel until about twelve when we went for a bite to eat. After washing up we decided to sto…

Castles, Lakes, Oktoberfest & Fall

All right, I finally figured out what a Czech Kruna is worth, managed to get some food, and have some semblance of an idea what I'm doing. That said, back to it: Luckily Oktoberfest ended at 11 pm as I mentioned in t…

Oktoberfest @ Munich – Day 1

Woke up bright and early Friday morning to meet Amber. We connected without any problem and then both made our way to the U.S. consulate so she could apply for a replacement passport. After a long bit in line we conn…

Frankfurt

I'd browsed the internet and tried to book a ticket in advance to Frankfurt from Berlin, but the prices were the same both in station and online. It was getting late, however, and the in-station office had closed. There…
