Belgrade, Sarajevo, Dubrovnik Europe » Croatia

The train to Belgrade was straight forward enough, 12 hours overnight in a 3 bed carriage with no other travellers in it! Luxury! The last few days have been the most enjoyable Ive had I think. I fell in love with Belgrade pretty quickly, its such a vibrant city. Loads of cafes and bars, a really cool fort at the top of town and it wasnt far to a massive park with loads of bike paths and walking trails surrounding a huge lake. I rented a bike and bombed about for a bit through forest trails and came to a point [View Full Entry]

Istanbul Europe

I arrıved ın Istanbul around midday local time, absolutely knackered as ıt took 14 hours door to door, due to a very long wait at the airport and a taxi driver with no idea where he was going when i arrıved. The city is a really cool place, almost everywhere you look there are massive mosques, museums, cafes and bars. The whole place is lıke one big traffic jam, a constant stream of taxis, trams, buses and lorries all day long. So far I have visited several mosques, which are all jaw dropping ınside, as well as the unbelievably busy grand [View Full Entry]
