Devin and I woke up at 2:15 in the morning in Bratislava in order to catch a train to Zagreb, Croatia. For having less than two hours of sleep the night before, we were relatively cheery. We took the night bus to the train station only find out that ... Read more >

Day 31 Baja ( 0 km)

Wed, 9 Jul 2008 | By seal | Views [378]

Read a book, had some excellent chicken and bought stuff in the local supermarket. Very nice and modern town with own bathing beach. The town has one internet cafe though disguised as electronics shop complete with one non working computer terminal. It ... Read more >

First night in a proper bed after thirty days of paddling. Made it to Baja, pitched my tent and went to sleep till midday next day. Must have been tired.

Passed KM 1580 at about eleven this morning. Means I have successfully completed the first 1000 k of this river. Celebrated by getting half a water melon and ate it all. Nice melon... When I started at KM 2581.5 in Ulm I didnt think that Id be running ... Read more >

Day 28 Budapest to Kulcs ( 62 km)

Sun, 6 Jul 2008 | By seal | Views [375]

In Hungary in the countryside opening hours if you can make out that the house is an actual shop are mainly Monday to Friday. So picture my overwhelming joy when someone made me three fine sandwiches on a Sunday evening on what I perceived to be their front ... Read more >

Day 27 Budapest 0 km

Sat, 5 Jul 2008 | By seal | Views [375]

Been a while - but there arent as many PC Klubs or Netcafes right next to the Danube in this part of the world. Pictures with the posts will most likely also have to wait till I get back home to England. Culinary delights are not just Gulash and Paprika ... Read more >

Very windy again but thanksfully pushing me to Budapest all day. It s very strong wind and the kayak racers wont get on the river. Just as Im getting to Budapest I meet Dori, who is holding on to the pier as just another gust is threatening to push her ... Read more >

Day 25 Kormano to Evtzergom (53 Km)

Extremely strong winds all day but I still manage to do more than 5O K today. Keeping to the side of the river and just below the trees progress is slow and painful. Had a number of pleasant swims though - this heat!!! Next I discover that the charger ... Read more >

Well it seems my readership is demanding more content and I must oblige them. Vienna was swarmed with Croatians and Turks for the Euro Cup football (soccer) matches. They have sectioned off large portions of the city to accommodate the fans in areas ... Read more >

Pest or is it buda?

Sorry this one is exceptionally long but it covers a week and a half of random anecdotes. From Prague we took a bus down to Budapest, via Bratislava. I’m really looking forward to going back to that area and getting out into the country a bit more and ... Read more >

Hungary – learning to travel

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 | By allwelcome | Views [1212]

Preliminary stages It was suppose to be our first road trip together.   We compromised because Albert has done this kind of thing before, and I was more of a sit in a hotel and watch cable tv sipping any alcoholic beverage in between shopping ... Read more >

Budapeste

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 | By kutnerdaniel | Views [1307]

15/03 : Depois de voar com a easyJet (algo como pegar o Socorro 856-R dos ares), cheguei em Budapeste em um belo dia de sol por volta das quatro da tarde. Claro que tinha que comecar com uma loucura. Eu tinha visto na internet que haveria um jogo ... Read more >
