My second time in Prague I got to see much much more than 1 year ago. It's absolutely necessary to spend at least a couple of days in Prague. We stayed in Zhizhkov and walked around the town by foot all the time, using the tram only once. Also we of couse went to my favorite place on earth, Kutna Hora, which is definitely worth a visit of a couple of days too to see the sights and feel the atmosphere that rises especially by night. Also the drinks and the food is terrific, I can't reckon eathing something as tasty [View Full Entry]

After a few hours a sleep after Slovenia I cought the plane to Alghero and right there I got picked up by my friends and we went straight to the harbor, jumped on the boat and went to snorkel in the most amazing waters I have ever seen. The next days I spent swimming for 10 hours, eating and meeting friends and their families. In fact my dear friend introduced me to her family, which couldn't talk a word of English but they were too friendly and kind and we spoke hand-language. I caught a bus to Bosa and there my [View Full Entry]

After 30 min of sleep in Annaberg, at 5:00 we headed to Slovenia. I was pretty tired and sleepy and after 300 km there was a drivers change and then I could slumber a bit. When we arrived in Slovenia I was really really sleepy because it was extremely hot. We arrived on the festival ground and I spent the whole day at the festival hanging around and drinking slovenian beer. In the evening I went to pick up the merch and in the meanwhile 3 of 5 guys from the band drank real turkish absinth. When I came back they [View Full Entry]

2 weeks Russia by car! After the landing in Moscow the next goal was Smolensk, which turned out to be a dusty old city " the gates to Russia". Smolensk is a "hero city"(Gorod Geroj) because whenever someone attacks Russia wanting to conquer it, Smolensk is the first destination. Afterwards we headed to Volgagrad from Moscow, 13 hours by car. On the highway the max. speed is 90 but of course everyone drives faster. Also the Police knows it and there is a police car hiding behind the trees sometimes every 5 km stopping you at every chance trying to rip [View Full Entry]

The roundtrip started from our camping village in Valdarno (near Florence), which was shitty btw. Anyhow first we went to Piombine to take a ferry to Elba. No special sights so far, Elba itself was ok but nowhere NEAR Sardinia. In fact there were boats from the port to Elba and Sardinia, and I was playing with the thought to sneak on the other boat :D (No, not really Mr Fruit!) Later on we went to Florence, which turned out to be a bit of disappointment. I expected a bygone capital of culture science and philosophy but the city didn't have [View Full Entry]

After living like a Roman for only 7 days, I already have a feelings to know how the every day life looks. Since I always stayed with friends or couchsurfing and no hotel, I got to live with real Romans, go out with them, eat with them, eat what they eat and so on. In this period of time Life in Rome meant driving very drunk at night, drinking Peroni, cooking delicious food and eating many times a day, drinking Roman wine, being late, avoiding tourists and spending every second evening in a cheap bar with friends until early morning. Many [View Full Entry]

The island has the most beautiful sea ever and the nature changes every 50 km. Sardinia has a very interesting history, since many nations "walked through" and left their culture on the island. The people we faced are very open-minded and friendly. Hitchhiking was no problem since it's hard to get anywhere without a car. The buses go very seldom and only to a limited number of places every few hours. The plane tickets to Sardinia were cheapest ever, and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Thanks to Giulia and Davide! [View Full Entry]

On the train from Munich to castle Neuschwanstein we were sitting near singing-happy students from India who kept our journey musically escorted. After arrival in Füssen we took the bus to Schwangau and from there we walked up to the castle. It's about half an hour to walk and it was snowing but still go hot after all the walking. From the top you could get an incredible view over the surroundings and the Alps. We wanted to get into the castle BUT it seems you had to buy the tickets at the bottom of the hill and the next tickets [View Full Entry]

One evening, sitting in the 23d floor of the restaurant Gothia Towers in Gothenborg, in a spontaneous decision we decided to go to Copenhagen. Not even 12 hours later, we were sitting in the bus to Copenhagen. We arrived there in the evening and darkness already and walked through the whole city to find the little mermaid. Without any map and no idea where it is, we walked down the main road and asked people on our way, and all turned out to be Russian. Finally we reached there park where it was said to be and there was no light. [View Full Entry]

After my arrival in Gothenburg I went to the NYE 2008/9 party straight away and spent the next days wandering around the parks and the city. The city is rather modern and not really special but the nature is wonderful indeed. All these smooth monoliths in the parks and around the islands. Perhaps it is better to go to Sweden in the summer but in the winter I found the nature even more appealing. Once you are in Gothenborg you must visit the park Slottskoggen, it's big and beautiful with a lot of hills and typical Swedish animals. Best is to [View Full Entry]
