After passing Geveglija on the border between Macedonia and Greece I soon got to thessaloniki, the second biggest city in Greece. Here I arrived around 21.00 CET, but in Greece its an hour later! I quickly went to refresh in the stations toilets and get changed. The weather in Thessaloniki was hot, even at that time of the evening. It was a funny feeling being in Greece, a country I had always wanted to visit and I was also feeling proud of the fact i had just crossed the balkan where only 13 years before a bloddy war was fought.

So my balkan trip by train started and i had to sit for almost 3 hours in a train! i slept all the way to Croatia and woke up in the morning just right after the border already in Serbia. The train was heading for Belgrade where i would have to change trains for my train to Skopje in Macedonia.

The closer to greece the drier it got. [View Full Entry]

As i always had a weakness for Eastern Europe i always wanted to discover more of this part of the old continent. Since the Low-cost airline SkyEurope has very cheap tickets to central and eastern europe i decided to give my boyfriend a long weekend in Krakow, Poland. From all the eastern european countries Poland has always been the country that least appealed to me. Since from the cities offered by SkyEurope Krakow was the cheapest i decided to read a bit about the city. The image i had of Poland as a grey, east-block country still is true but Krakow [View Full Entry]
