We have been on a trip through Austria, Croatia and Slovenia more than 2,5 days ago, but somehow I managed to write only one post about that trip: link. However, in my opinion, some places in Slovenia cannot be left out when you are planning your trip to that region; here are they: Ljubljana Ljubljana is the largest [...]
The pearl of the Black Sea Odessa, sometimes also called the "pearl of the Black Sea" and "Southern Palmyra" is a major tourism center, seaport and transport hub located on the northwestern shore of the Black Sea.

Why Moldova? In September 2019 we spent three or four days in Moldova followed by three days in Odessa, Ukraine. Why Moldova? We are big fans of the off-the-beaten-track destinations and Moldova is a relatively remote country in the middle of Europe very much neglected by the tourists. Besides, it has a growing wine-tourism industry and those who know [...]
We anticipated that parking situation in Cordoba will be as tense as in Malaga or Granade, therefore we googled the free parking before we drove to this city. We found free parking in the area of Torre De Calahorra. You have to be aware of the self-proclaimed “valets”, who wave you in the free slot and “help” you to [...]

The second weekend in October this year was sunny and inviting for a long city stroll. In my opinion, Stockholm was a perfect idea for a weekend trip (under condition that you don’t [...]
When you are planning your Iceland trip, your first concern probably would be the costs as Iceland considered a very expensive country. Indeed, even a short vacation in Iceland can be pretty costly. However even there you can find options to travel on relatively low budget. For that, prepare yourself and do research in advance: in the summer months, [...]
The last day of this trip was the hard-driving day: we spent more than 4 hours on the road and drove 300 km. Vík í Mýrdal One of my big wishes in Iceland was to see puffins. Vík í Mýrdal supposed to be one of the places famous not only for its black sand beaches and [...]
Skaftafell The day number four was quite relaxed in terms of driving. We drove only around 200 km and were in total 2,5 hours on the road. First, we stopped again at the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon to see it in the sun light (I wrote about it in the previous post: Link). Then, we drove to the Skaftafell [...]
