San Sebastian, Spain
San Sebastian. Coastal city in the autonomous community; Basque Country. After our tour around Spain, we jumped on busabout headed towards San Sebastian and I was in love! Beautiful clear waters to swim in and the most amazing food I have ever tasted – A great end to our trip through Spain. Our days were…

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…

Iceland
Iceland was a country that most, like myself, had not really thought possible or even considered a travel destination until recent years of publicity of its beautiful scenery in blockbuster movies. Our original flight from New York to London had us stopping in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik at 6:00 am for a few hours layover…

Athens & the Greek Islands
Our flight into Athens was a scary and bumpy one. The wind was strong which bobbled the flight in the air, the whole plane clapping like an audience and the captains landing was the show. We caught a bus from the airport to our hotel, situated right on Edem beach where we relaxed for two days before meeting…

Last road to Munich…
Switzerland was amazing and we had a strong feeling not many places would beat our most recent favourite country / place in the world. We were sad to board our last Busabout bus, but excited for a further chapter in travel. I won’t sound too depressed as we still have a couple more weeks before home…

Lucerne, Switzerland
The scenery beyond the window on our short train journey from Interlaken to Lucerne was enjoyed as we continually spoke about how we just skydived in Switzerland! We explored the streets of beautiful Lucerne, walking along the Reuss river and Kapellbrucke wooden footbridge that crosses it. We bumped into Rhiannon and after exploring more of Lucerne including…

Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
I was plummeting to the earth below, not able to breath as the air forced my face into a panic until I remembered to breathe through my nose. The views were spectacular as a lever was pulled and the air ripped us upwards fast and we spiralled to the landing spot below. Three days earlier….…

Cinque Terre, Italy
We were dropped at a place that appeared to be the middle of nowhere. I feel most people were confused at this particular spot known as La Spezia and without prior research, some opted to stay in the town for ease to the Busabout bus. However the real highlight for this region is the Cinque…

Tuscany, Italy
What a beautiful region Tuscany is. Italy really has it all and it’s jam-packed into one little country. We were travelling around the southern loop with Busabout from Rome to Nice, passing through Umbria where Busabout had an included photo stop… Orvieto Orvieto Walls Duomon di Orvieto Continuing on, we made it to the capital of…
