So, here is an updated map of my grand route … for now.  I reserve the right to change this at any moment for any reason, and most probably they will be reasons beyond my immediate control.  Click on the map for a larger view. A couple of key things which have changed since my [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on 28-October-2009 | Leave a Comment »

I’m in Ljubljana now and I am totally enchanted by this city. I don’t think I could give a higher recommendation to another European city, of which I have traveled to many. Moscow, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Rome, Bratislava, Prague, Barcelona, Brussels, Dublin, Budapest – all have so much to offer, but nothing quite pulls [...]

Dobova, Slovenia (2009-10-25) – Well, here I sit at the seemingly new built train station of Dobova, just over the Croatian border, having come from lovely Zagreb, where I spent the first four, extraordinary, nights of my journey.

The train ride from Budapest to Zagreb was mostly uneventful, except for having to change compartments.  I did chat with some fellow travelers whom I met up with later in Zagreb on Thursday. I am Couch Surfing while I am here and my host has been awesome.  While in Budapest I hosted a couple of [...]

A funny thing on the train

First little funny “incident” on the trip: Turns out that I was sitting in the first class compartment all the way through Hungary and did not even know it!

You can probably guess what kind of night it was evident by the dull glaze in my eye.  It was the kind of night that you can’t actually believe happened, but know very well it did.  Needless to say I am very grateful to everyone who came out and to everyone who helped me through [...]

I Have Been, Not Yet, Here Before

The infinite city. I’ve been wanting to post something about this for sometime, but never managed to put my thoughts into words.  I hesitate to even start this post knowing that it is a weak attempt at trying to describe something that borders on the infinite.  If you have ever spent any time in Budapest, [...]
