Just dropped everyone off at Prague Airport for their flight to Paris, very sad to say goodbye but glad that they all had a great time. I want to thank them all for various contributions towards a most excellent trip and hope they have a safe journey, perhaps our paths will cross again some day [...]

Farewell new friends!
October 10, 2011Prague – 8/10/2011
October 10, 2011Well we knew it couldnt last, we woke up this morning to discover the temperature had dropped about half and was now a chilly 12 degrees celsius. After unusually hot weather for this time of year for 11 days i suppose we couldn’t be too put out when the last 2 days were a little [...]
Bratislava to Prague – 7/10/2011
October 10, 2011Budapest to Bratislava – 06/10/2011
October 9, 2011We were all dreading another long drive as everything in Eastern Europe seems quite far apart and there is only so much light entertainment that Coach FM (ie Mr Sunil Pai on the bus mic) can provide and so it was a huge relief that Bratislava was only around 2 hrs away! We met our [...]
Budapest – 05/10/2011
October 6, 2011Today was a later start and slightly more relaxed day. After a generous Best Western buffet breakfast of pastries, eggs, toast, salad, meats and crisps(?!) then non-shoppers among us headed off to the Payvolgyi Cave for a tour of the million year old holes in the ground. Dubious at first about the entertainment factor of [...]

Krakow to Budapest – 03/10/2011
October 6, 2011Slovakia is beaauuutiful! Rolling green hills, peppered with multi coloured traditional houses and cabin style restaurants serving all manner of meaty goods. Unfortunately we were just passing through on our way to Budapest and so could not devote the countryside the full amount of time or attention that it deserved but we did get to [...]
Krakow – 02/10/2011
October 6, 2011Salt Mines……wooooooo! Excited? Nope i wasn’t either BUT i take it back, i was wrong, the Wieliczka Salt Mines were incredible. A half hour journey out of Krakow and 327m beneath the surface is a treasure trove of hidden churches, banquet halls and lakes with everything from the statue of John Paul II to the [...]
Warsaw – 30/09/2011
October 6, 2011A very busy day in Warsaw as we were zipped around to be shown the highlights. Starting with Łazienki Park, a former hunting ground to Kings of yore, it featured a number of incredible buildings including the beautiful Palace on the Lake and Chopin’s monument. Next was the former Jewish Ghetto area including the monument [...]
Berlin to Warsaw – 29/09/2011
October 4, 2011A long day which began early at 6.30am. Quickly packing and having the last excellent breakfast at the Leonardo Hotel in Berlin we set off for Poland with our lovely and friendly driver Pawel. We would soon put his patience to the test! Not long after entering Poland a much needed toilet stop was taken [...]
