Theres definitely more to explore

My decision to visit Russia was made in the Gellert baths in Budapest during the summer of 2006. The whole trip to Hungary that year had been borne out of my desire to see more of Eastern Europe, a quest which had begun with a short stay in Cracow, Poland, to celebrate my birthday the previous Marc…

I think my itinerary pretty clearly shows that our travel agent DOES NOT like me. I had first flight from Phoenix to Denver at 8 am, which meant a 4:30 awakening. That's 1:40 long flight... just so that I could spend more than 6 hours at a layover there! I learned a lot about patience today. As…

For us it was the first attempt to plan "self-made" car travel. And Norway was the right choice for it. Every region (or even smaller communes) of Norway have its own website with a bunch of useful information for travellers (tips, maps, suggestions and many more) on many languages. The main proble…
