I head away from Prizren to catch a bus from Pristina to Tirana. I know it is a little bit stupid because the bus will be going straight through Prizren on its way to Tirana. But I simply did not know what to do with my backs if I had brought them to Prizren - hence it seem like the best solution t…

Click Here for tipsBelgrade is the capital and largest city of Serbia.

  After just 3 days in Budva it was time to go back to Belgrade, spent one more night there and then off home, back to reality and work.             This time the bus back to Belgrade was almost empty so I basically tried to sleep the wh…

Not wanting to break with the longstanding tradition of sleeping-in while visiting Belgrade I woke late on Monday morning.  This was my last day in Belgrade and I had a lot to do before catching the night train to Romania.  I had a busy final day in front of me filled with eating, p…

Findings indicate at the first settlements on the municipal area by the Illyrer during the years of 900 B.C. to 300 B.C. first documentary mentions come from the beginning of the 14-th century. The name of the place is presumably derived from the vineyards to be found here (loza is the Serbian word…

I lived in several ex-yu cities, So..I think: “It's time to write something about cities I visited” :) Enjoy :)

Oh my gosh, it can get really hot in a big city! With little sleep and temperatures near 40C (over 100F) we were staggering around town in a daze. Nevertheless, we managed to explore pretty much every inch of downtown in our two days there. After dropping our packs at the hostel we set out to explo…

I think most people in Hungary have a prejudice against Belgrade (and Serbia). When I told someone I'm going to Belgrade, they looked at me weird, they said it's dangerous, coz there was a war not so many years ago. But my friend, Jucó and I wanted to see the city for ourselves. So we bough…

I traveled to Belgrade by train and it took me about 10 hours and had to change two trains but the connections were very good and didn’t have to wait much between them. All the formalities at the border were made on the train and it didn’t take much time, around half an hour. Two beautiful Serb…

This part of the blog is probably going to be the least interesting for everyone, but hey its gotta be done, or else the blog isn't complete. Basically the 5th, 6th and 7th were identical days of laying around, reading, sleeping and walking about town a little bit... we're tired from travelling and…

Anyways, this is first blog so i thought i would share a few photos of my experince in Kosovo.    Worked here for 2years with the United Nations, and I must admit, the best time of my life.   You get the responsibilty and budget you never get anywhere in the world, and at t…

I woke up this morning and it was raining! So, I slept in a bit. Who wants to be out in the rain in Januay. When I did get up (still raining) I showered and had a little breakfast. I decided that today would be a great day to do a museum. The one that I was most interested in was the Ethnographic M…

Belgrade seriously seems to be the buzz city of Eastern Europe right now.  People I meet who’ve travelled from it have a sparkling afterglow in their eyes and the hint of an eternal hangover not yet fully shaken off.  Particularly true of survivors of the recent and increasingly popular…

I had to say goodbye to the hostel and Belgrade and got myself a taxi back to the airport. I bumped into a guy from the festival who I'd met in the airport in London on the way over there so I had someone to chat to while I waited.The first leg of the journey was fairly painless and I got to Dussel…
