Places what I am visiting. Archive for April, 2011. Arriving in a City as vibrant as Amsterdam presented a nice change from the boredom of Rotterdam. Perhaps I’m being too harsh on Rotterdam. It might be a great place and we just somehow managed to miss all the cool and fun stuff. We once again found ourselves staying in a. Hostel, and although the building wasn’t quite as quirky as Rotterdam’s. Regardless I was still able to enjoy the football as I sipped away on my 5 “pint” of Jupiler. ...Full of food ...

Places what I am visiting. 08/07/2011 at 12:16 am. The journey to Split took about 4.5 hours which isn’t too bad considering it’s all along coastal roads and the bus can’t get up to any decent speed. Upon our arrival we headed to. Hostel Booze and Snooze. Located in the Old Town of Split. Although it was less than 1km from the station it took a little while to find due to Google Maps being completely useless. After checking in we headed out to. In the evening we headed to a bar called. Which was built du...

Places what I am visiting. Archive for July, 2011. Following a further four hours on a coach we arrived in Venice. We had booked to stay in. Which is on the island of. Rather than the main part of Venice so we had to take a boat there. Like everything else in Venice the boats are pretty expensive, 18 for a 24 hour pass. Not all that great when you only plan on using in a handful of times. First impression: Venice smells a bit odd. Is the cities main waterway and is where most of the crowds seem to gather...

Places what I am visiting. Making a daily commute by train in England isn’t much fun. The trains are regularly late and you will often not get a seat. However, after my experience of the Serbian train network I don’t think I’ll be making any complaints about National Rail for quite some time. It was past 10pm when we arrived in Sofia and began the walk to. Most of Sofia’s main attractions can be seen within a day so that is exactly what we did. Walking around the city we passed by the. It’s a fairl...

Places what I am visiting. Berlin: crossing the wall. 15/05/2012 at 5:26 pm. The last time I was in Berlin I had too much to drink. The resulting hangover meant that there was still a lot of the city which I didn’t get to see. With this is mind I arrived in Berlin determined to see as much as possible. Other obvious points of interest are the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag. You can either get there by subway or if you don’t mind a 20 minute walk it’s easy to get to from the Cathedral. After I’d...

Places what I am visiting. 19/06/2011 at 1:21 pm. Here’s a fun free Serbia fact for you all. Since it became a permanent settlement in the 520s Belgrade has been involved in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times. There must be something good about the place if the Serbs have been so keen to keep rebuilding it. Either that or they are just very industrious. In the morning we headed to the. Cathedral of Saint Sava. Who led the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire. Which consisted of rolled...

However, after my experience of the Serbian train network I don’t think I’ll be making any complaints about National Rail for quite some time.
