Another day, another amazing place to visit. Well, I guess I’ve gotta even out all those days I’ve spent in cesspits like Huddersfield and Jakarta. Today I went for a stroll around the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, and they put on a bloody good show for me, and pretty much made yesterday’s epic 10-hour, three-bus … Continue reading I went chasing waterfalls
After a big day of exploring Slovenia’s lovely Lake Bled, I decided to have a quiet one today. Nah, that’s a load of shit, I walked over 30km and checked out two of the most incredible places a fella could ever hope to visit. Unfortunately, Scarlett Johansson’s vagina wasn’t one of them. Vintgar Gorge is … Continue reading Slovenian Shenanigans
Ljubljana is a bloody hard name to pronounce, and it’s not a destination you'll find in a whole lot of travel guides, but it is a lovely little (and I mean little) city that is worth being drunk and jobless in. I should know, I just spent a night there. There aren’t a lot of … Continue reading Ljubljana – the gorgeous Euro town with a name like a bad Scrabble hand
Before Sunrise is a beaut film about an idealist young American bloke called Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and a spunky French sheila called Celine (Julie Delpy) who meet on a train from Budapest to Vienna, and fall in love during one night exploring the latter city. I've been off on my own romantic crusade in Riga … Continue reading What a Wiener!
I only spent a short amount of time in Budapest, but this wonderful city certainly left me Hungary for more. Haha, that's why I'm one of Australia's best-loved journalists, and have literary groupies hanging off my balls 24 hours a day. It was late when I got in from Bratislava, but I was determined to … Continue reading Putting the ‘pest’ into Budapest
I spent today hiking through Slovakia's Vysoké Tatry mountain range. It was a monumental experience filled with beauty wonder, and words can't possibly do it justice, so I'll drop the hilarious jokes and just give you loads of photos to drool over. I'm off for a beer - catch ya tomorrow!
Poland's been great, but it's time to head off to the Democratic People's Republic of Slovakia. It's not an easy journey between Krakow and my resting place of Starý Smokovec, with three buses and a few hikes along the way, but it wasn't long before I was in the charming village of Zakopane, close to … Continue reading From Krakow to Vysoke Tatry with an idiot in tow
The name alone conjures images of death and despair. Auschwitz is the most infamous of all the Nazi concentration camps, a place where one and a half million innocent people were brought to be gassed, shot or hanged by an insane regime. Today, the site stands a memorial to those who died, as well as … Continue reading Auschwitz
Wanting to get a sense for Krakow's long and tragic history during my time here, today I wandered into the centre of town and joined a free group walking tour. I was looking forward to learning about the ancient buildings, beautiful churches, and Jewish ghettos populated during the Second World War, and was pleasantly surprised … Continue reading The worst way to spend three hours in Krakow
I spent most of today traveling between the Polish cities of Warsaw and Krakow, so I didn’t get up to much besides getting drunk on a train while watching a woman breastfeeding in the seat opposite me (she didn’t offer me a sip, in case you’re wondering). But I did get a mouthful of meat … Continue reading I ate a kebab the size of my head
