Mark and I got off the bus and ran into Kevin, who was on his way back to Florida due an family emergency. He informs us that we have returned on the right date since the entire town is partying. The title means Happy Half New Year and as we arrived to Korcula from the […]

In the morning hours, Mark and I say good bye to Korcula and take the first bus across the island to Vela Luka. There we have arranged two dives with the local dive center. Upon arrival, the owner of the dive shop picks us up and we immediately start picking out our equipment. All the […]

Split is a big central hub for ferries, catamarans, ships, buses and trains. From here is easy to access the rest of Croatia. Mark did some research on scuba diving and found that the island of Korcula is a good place to do it in. I booked a hostel that I found via a search […]

During the day Mark and I explored the old town. Just north of the concrete promenade is the old city. The streets are narrower, some to the point that its single file. There are still people that live in the old part of town which is surprising as most of the ones I’ve seen have […]

Besides thermal pools Budapest also has a ton of cave systems running underneath the city. The staff at our hostel was able to recommend a caving tour that goes everyday. We all meet up at a metro station and took 2 buses over to the cave entrance. There, we are all given a hard hat […]

Last night was Museum Night in Budapest. This means that at night you can buy a single ticket to one museum and use that same ticket to visit all the museums of Budapest as well as you the public bus system with that ticket. We ended up checking it out briefly before heading out to […]

The only thing I know about Budapest is that it was originally two cities, Buda and Pest. That was as far as I got in my Lonely Planet research that I did back in the states. So when looking at a map of Europe and selecting another location that would bring me closer to my […]

The Petřínská Rozhledna is a steel tower that I’ve noticed since the first time I walked across Charles bridge. To the right when coming towards the castle I would see the tip of it rising above the park’s forested area in the Mala Strana area. This structure looks like a mini Effel Tower and is […]
