I decided to give my liver a rest for a few days and head to the south of Hungary to check out the small student city of Pécs. Because winter is on its way it gets dark by 4.30pm here now, which makes it difficult to do/see much in the daylight hours, especially when you are…

More markets and more bars! Today a couple of dudes who work at the hostel went out to the Chinese market on the edge of Budapest to pick up some things for the hostel so I decided to tag along. The market is in an old industrial estate, the actual market was a little disappointing,…

Today I ticked off all the dirty backpacker checkboxes. I have been in desperate need of doing some washing for a few days but the hostel machines have been broken. I have been re-using the least smelliest socks for the past several days, my shoes are covered in mud from caving yesterday and my dreads…

Caving in Budapest! Today was a bit of a miserable rainy day in Budapest, so I planned to spend majority of it underground. My plan was to visit the Hospital in the rock, then the Cave church near the Liberty Statue, and finally finish the day with caving. Because of some soaked shoes I managed…

Last night I planned to have a couple of quiet beers at the hostel, but after some pool, foozball, and homemade rakia I found myself at Szimpla kert for the second night in a row. Szimpla kert is one of Budapest’s famous Ruin Bars. There are heaps of these abandoned buildings turned pubs in Budapest…

So this morning I was rushing to try and get to the 10.30am free walking tour, on the way a bug Hungarian guy stopped me and took my map. I wasn’t sure what he wanted so I tried to grab it back off him and said “I’m fine mate, I’m need to meet someone and…

Today I finished my stint in the Balkans. Other than my few weeks in Turkey I have been exploring the Balkans since Day 95. It really is a fascinating place. I have purposely left out a couple of Balkan countries (Montenegro, Romania and Kosovo) so I have an excuse to come back to this amazing…

When I was in Belgrade last time I put a day aside to go and check out a few museums and art galleries, unfortunately that day was a monday which is when all of the galleries and museums are closed. So today I finally did the Tesla museum, the modern art gallery and the Museum…

This is the Monument to the soviet army in Sofia. The park was the target of one of my favourite street art project where the statues were painted as super hero’s, google “sofia superhero statue” to see what I mean. I find it pretty funny that this monument park is now a target for street…

I finally had time to actually look around Veliko Turnovo for a few hours before jumping on a bus back to Sofia. The city is really picturesque. There is a river which splits through the city at several different points and cliffs that appear to burst through the trees in every direction creating a really dramatic…
