Chapter 51: Drunken Island Hopping

A day trip to Belgrade
This is a top pick! The primary goal for today was to get from Istanbul to Sarajevo. There are no cheap direct flights so we flew with JAT, the Serbian airline, via Belgrade. This involved a seven hour wait between flights. First things first. We needed to return the ...
Serbia?

On Top(ola) of The World

Night train from hell!
This is a top pick! Well, i write this entry just before 6am squished in a cabin full of too many people for a night train, with only minutes of sleep, soaked in my own sweat and just dying to get off. It all started when we rocked up to the Budapest train station and ...
Arriving in the dark
This is a top pick! Did not want to get out of bed and leave our lovely room this morning, especially knowing it was going to be at least 65 miles. Omelette breakfast and punchy Turkish coffee revived us a bit though and we pedaled off in the sunshine at 10am. As usual ...
Bone Shaking Bridge delivers us to Belgrade

Where the hell is Montenegro

Remote Romania

Change of Plans
