Cesky Krumlov and Salzburg
This part left us with mixed feelings. We were both happy, that we would soon be flying home to see our puppy dog Jak, our family, our comfortable bed, to unpack and shower and not live out of a suitcase. And sad, that our adventures had finally come to an end. Sad that we had…

Ischia, Italy
It was in Edinburgh that we learnt my Nonna was flying from Australia to her home island of Ischia in Italy so we decided to change our route. Our original plan involved spending more time in Eastern Europe followed by a 3 night stopover in Dubai on the way home. We hadn’t booked accommodation in…

Bohemian Trek
Instead of flying from Split back to Prague to continue our hop on hop off journey with Busabout, we decided to book one last tour. At least this way, we could experience more cities and countries along the way. We opted for the Bohemian Trek to get us on our way. Driving along the Croatian…

Sailing Croatia
Sail. Drink. Tan. Swim. Eat. Sleep. Repeat. This became our daily routine and it’s exactly what I had signed up for. We were sailing the beautiful Dalmatian coastline with Busabout, taking 8 days from Split to Dubrovnik and return and the weather was perfect! Croatia is simply beautiful. From the amazing pristine waters to the rich history…

Eastern Europe Trek
The Classic Rhapsody Trek – Busabout With a one night stopover in Paris, we were on our way to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

Valencia & Madrid, Spain
Valencia. Capital city of the autonomous community; Valencia. Third largest city in Spain. We were travelling around most of Europe with Busabout; a hop on hop off network that takes you from one destination to the next, allowing you the freedom to choose your own accommodation and duration of your stay. It’s a great way…

Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona. Capital city of the autonomous community; Catalonia. Second largest city in Spain. Contrary to the constant travel advise we received about Spain, in particular Barcelona, we never experienced anything sketchy. ‘Watch your bags, watch your surroundings’ Yes these things can happen in any country but we had to be extra careful in Spain especially…

Scotland
With the sound of the bagpipes playing in my own head, images of men in kilts & cute Scottish terroir dogs came to mind. Scenic drives through the country side and amazing beaches became reality. We had finally arrived in Scotland! We arrived into Edinburgh by airport shuttle and I instantly fell in love with…

Ireland & Northern Ireland
Dublin surprised us immensely. While I’m at it, I’ll include the whole of Ireland for that matter. We arrived in Dublin and the sun was shining. An occurrence that can be rare to many of the locals that live here. It may be a slight stereotype that it rains 90% of the time (or this…
