Euro Trip Day 26: Last stamp day of the trip :-(
Today was our last stamp day of the trip, and I’m oddly sad about it. Honestly, I should have realized it’d be when we crossed into Hungary, but I just wasn’t thinking about it. What’s a stamp day? It’s any day I get a new stamp in my passport. Technically, this isn’t even a NEW [...]

Euro Trip Day 25: I should be packing, so instead I’m writing today’s blog post
Tomorrow morning we’re heading out of here bright and early at 8AM to hop a train to Pécs, Hungary, yet another checkmark on a list of my attempts to see as many UNESCO World Heritage sites as possible (we’ve seen 3 so far on this trip: the old city of Dubrovnik in Croatia, the city [...]
Euro Trip Day 24: In which we ponder why the Balkans only has two kinds of breakfast cereal
You know it was a REALLY slow day if I’m talking about breakfast cereal. As much as I like Zagreb so far, today we ran into a problem that we encountered in Dublin. Namely, that virtually NO museums are open on Mondays. They open on Sundays for a whopping THREE HOURS, but Mondays? Closed. The [...]
Euro Trip Day 23: Sarajevo to Zagreb
This post is coming a bit late because it seems like our internet access always seems to die on us in the evening, which is when I’d prefer to be sitting around working on things like reservations for upcoming cities and blog posts and the like. In any case, most Zagreb museums are closed on [...]

Here, have a map. :-)
Here’s a point-to-point map of where I’ve been thus far — I’m going to try to keep it updated when we switch cities. :-) You can click on it and zoom in to see details from where I’ve been. You can also click on the symbols to see in what cities we stayed, what type [...]

Euro Trip Day 14: Best. Sunset. EVER
(The headline is a Simpsons reference, btw.) This is going to be short because I’m exhausted — literally, I’m falling asleep writing this post. Today we got up at dawn and got to the bus terminal REALLY early and waited for our bus, in order to avoid yesterday’s snafu. The bus ride wasn’t long distance-wise, [...]
Euro Trip 13: Ummm, still in Korcula
So I fail at reading a bus and ferry schedule, and even after consulting the hostel owner, we still somehow ended up at the ferry depot at the wrong time. I was under the impression that the ferry we’d planned to take today ran seven days a week… Nope, no Thursdays or Fridays. WHOOPS. Fortunately, [...]
Euro Trip 12: Best day so far [with an asterisk]
. So the picture? That’s John’s feet. Pure, unadulterated color on that shot. Looks fantastic, doesn’t it? The rest of him is just as, if not even more, toasted than his feet. Anyway, before I go into why today was so awesome, let me explain the asterisk first. No, it’s not John’s sunburn, although that’s [...]
Euro Trip Day 11: Hoping that this is as unfun as it gets
I’ve had better days. We slept in a bit today, had a leisurely breakfast, and then decided to rent bikes and head out to explore the island a bit. However, we somehow took a wrong turn, and ended riding 3 kilometers up a REALLY BIG HILL. I know, only 3 km — cry me a [...]
Euro Trip Day 10: In which the entire day can be summed up in one picture
. Slept in, went to the beach, went to the grocery store, ate lunch, went back to the beach. Read, napped, swam, sunned. It’s a brutal life. Sorry for the boring post… it was a boring day, but so so so heavenly to have that boring day. (It was a beach day because we’re saving [...]
