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. I couldn’t wait to visit this city after all the positive feedback I had heard. We arrived with temperatures hitting 33′ Celsius with massive thunderstorms rolling in at night. We visited the…

Valencia & Madrid, Spain
Valencia. Capital city of the autonomous community; Valencia. Third largest city in Spain.

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…

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…

New York
New York was our last stop in the states before heading over to Europe. Even though New York had this amazing feel about it, unfortunately our US funds had dwindled and as we didn’t want to tap into our Europe funds, we didn’t get to do as much as we would have liked, like seeing…

Cozumel, Mexico We met Zach and Chris on the cruise and decided to put our money together to hire…

Miami & the Bahamas
Visiting Miami was a last minute decision to include in our round the world trip. Mainly because it was cheaper for us to book two cruises (value for money) than it was to spend time on main land. I found it really difficult finding accommodation in Miami. According to tripadvisor, most places were crummy and rundown but…
