Interesting blog! I like the scar left by the iron curtain, looks kind of surreal. I'm definitely not a fan of Bavaria, and hiking up mountains with lots of tourists is something I'd rather not do.
Cheers,
Jens
Err, yeah...umm.... sorry about that. It just goes to show how observant I am! Next you will have me going into one about 60s and 70s British EMUs!!! :)
Just posted a locomotive pic on my Bratislava blog. I bet this will be an easy one for you. Any idea what it is?
re: Thanks Jon - nope I'm playing a show in Wigan then flying back from Manchester next Sunday. No plans to go further east except a show in Bratislava later on this month.. I don't think I'll be returning to Bulgaria or Romania any time soon so I guess it's Poland and Ukraine next!
Really good blog, as always. Your writing always reflects the pace and comfort of the trip, and is always entertaining. Are you going back the same way? Not heading further east any time soon?
@Agne It was mainly the company that made this weekend so memorable - in good spirits I can pick out something I like about any place. But Kaunas as a city by itself I'm not a big fan of either :)
Blog of the year, 2010 Congratulations! :) This blog was nominated one of the best of 2010, in the Europe/writing category.

nice Correctly Jutka if she is a Hungarian girl. Debrecen is a very boring town, Nyiregyhaza is a nice city which is close to Debrecen.There were 2 kingdoms in Hungary before: Transylvanian and Hungarian. The Bathory family lived and belonged to Transylvania and not to Hungary. Novi Sad is a Hungarian city in Serbia, named Ujvidek in Hungarian (new countryside). Kosice is a Hungarian city in Slovakia, named Kassa in Hungarian. Elizabeth Bathory lived in Slovakia as well not in Hungary and Transylvania. We Hungarians believe that she was crazed and her blood was lacking of iron. Slovakia was part of Hungarian until the World War I.
<3 loved reading this... you must let me know again when you're back in England... is it the weekend around the 24th? I look forward to reading your novel! xo miss you!
Nice! Hay man, sounds cool! Massive church by the looks of things. I very very much want to try the hot chocolate. Quick question, what is the lowest temperature you are expecting to get over this winter? Sounds like its going to be a cold one down your end.
Hope you are well man, nice straw in the beer by the way!
Wow, when you were there in 1989 did the hill still have STALIN on it? Thats interesting. I guess the city's taken a boom from backpacking tourism in the last few years..
I'm a musician, writer, linguist, esoteric type and european train buff from London, UK with an inexplicable connection to the Czech Republic, currently living in Prague.
I started this blog before my first ever trip to Czech Republic back in August 2008, and decided to move there 10 months later. Since then I've been doing as much travel around the region as possible.
I can offer you: decent advice about trains, tickets, reservations, online discounts and the quickest route from point A to B basically anywhere in central europe or UK, and advice about Prague ... full info
