Our second beach destination in Thailand was Koh Phi Phi Don, the biggest island of the Phi Phi Archipelago in the Andaman Sea. We left Railay in Krabi very early and arrived around 11AM together with hundreds of other tourists that were going to visit the island only for a couple of hours and then would go back, either to ...

Before we left to Thailand I promised myself I will not travel with organized tours, I will not get conned for a combined ticket by bus prepared especially for tourists. I will look on my own, because it’s cheaper and there is much more fun to ride with Thais in local buses than in packed coaches with lots of tourists ...

If you read about Railay Beach you will see very positive or very negative opinions. On one hand crowds, dirt and expensive hotels and bars, on the other amazing bays, cheap bungalows and friendly people Railay is a bit like that, full of contrast, but still wonderful. After 15 hours from Bangkok with three different means of transport (bus, minivan and ...

It was our first day in Bangkok. We wanted to start our adventures visiting Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha). It wasn’t very hot, so we decided to walk. Maybe 200 meters after crossing the famous backpackers-party street Kho San Road, we noticed we had left the map of the city in the hostel. But we spotted a map ...

Cracow is usually associated with the old town, visiting churches and the Wawel castle, with synagogues and charming coffees in Kazimierz district. But not necessarily  with an active time by the water. Summer in the city can be very hot and there are days when you dream about  escaping the old buildings and busy cars. Where is the best place ...

Zakrzówek This is probably the most unique place in Cracow. You will understand why, when you get there. Close to the center, only 5 km in a straight line from Wawel castle, there is an old quarry, which in 1990 during an accident, was totally flooded. It was covered by water so quickly, that there was no time to evacuate ...

It was the first unplanned country on our route. After some days in Ukraine, Romania seemed a good idea to continue our travel. My old never used guide of this country was lying on a shelf at home, as when we were leaving to Ukraine we were actually thinking of going north, to see Lithuania or Latvia. But on the way ...
