Moseying about in Makarska

Woke up late today as I had horrendous sleep. The mosquitos here sure like me!! They were buzzing at me incessantly and I got bit everywhere… even on my face! 😦 So, I woke up late as a result. I got my breakfast goods to make myself a hearty meal and met another friendly people … Continue reading Moseying about in Makarska →

First impression of Makarska

My friend M & S dropped me off at my Airbnb and it is great. Love havin my own washroom! Also, my own balcony and fridge. It's near the stadium so hopefully it's not too loud but it's so close to a Lidl grocery shop, the main town and a popular beach. Only about 1km … Continue reading First impression of Makarska →

Moving on to Mostar for ~23hrs

I woke up early and packed. We got the rental car and set off after a quick, simple breakfast. We got a Golf car. 🙂 It was comfy and rode smoothly and well. S found out about the rental car from her dentist. So we got a bit of a good deal there but seems … Continue reading Moving on to Mostar for ~23hrs →

Exploring outside of Sarajevo

I was sound asleep through the night. S said it was noisy with alarms but I heard nothing! Double checked my visa requirements and it's a total of 90 days in any rolling 180 days in the Schengen visa zone + wherever I have a long stay visa, those days do not count towards the … Continue reading Exploring outside of Sarajevo →

Hanging out with my pal S for her Bday

It's my friend S' bday and we had a fun, relaxing day. I got her some rose gold hoops from Parfois and then we all went to Metropolis for brunch. It was nice there but there was so much smoking indoors 😦 We had some good, healthy breakkie (the Korean breakfast haha) and then went … Continue reading Hanging out with my pal S for her Bday →

23C in Sarajevo :)

Bought food for breakfast at the grocery store all by myself haha No problem getting to the grocery shop and bread shop. There are some larger supermarkets like Bingo, but I just went to the nearby convenience store. They spoke some basic English there and you can pay by card so it's very easy. Here, … Continue reading 23C in Sarajevo 🙂 →

Chilling on the first day in Sarajevo

Up bright and early at 6:15am. Walked to M&S' hotel and the Cornithia is very nice. We got a taxi in and luckily M's job covered it. Check-in was relatively fine and I got a smoked salmon bagel for breakfast... It had hard boiled eggs too! Yum. Better than Burger King and shorter line! Good … Continue reading Chilling on the first day in Sarajevo →

Another nice day in Budapest

Had a pretty good sleep and after a very light breakfast, walked down to the Shoes on the Danube memorial. Imagining the people there lining up to their deaths...only 75 years ago or so. It's unreal. Met up with friends M&S and we crossed the Chain bridge and checked out the Buda palace, Fisherman's bastion … Continue reading Another nice day in Budapest →

First full day in Budapest

Had a pretty decent sleep at the hostel, even though it was pretty hot. Got to breakfast and it's not what I'm used to: white bread, museli, cereal...typical hostel breakfast. I had a few bites. Chatted with a young fellow from Brussels and he's traveling with a friend. They were thinking of going to Sofia … Continue reading First full day in Budapest →

9hr train trip: Krakow to Budapest

Took it easy in the morning and got ready. No issues getting to the train station nor finding the train operated by Polrail. All labeled very clearly and train was at the platform ready and waiting. Love it! No wifi on board but sitting with some chill people. The male sneezed and then 10 seconds … Continue reading 9hr train trip: Krakow to Budapest →
