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 ...

The second includes the fans of  secondary roads with interesting views, ...

Switzerland has millions of wonderful places to go for a hike. I opened a Swiss guide trying to find some nice one-day mountain trip close to Zurich and felt totally overwhelmed with the number of places, mountain tracks, small cute villages by lakes, etc. Unfortunately the weather was not good, it was very cloudy, chilly and rainy. We were not ...

It is not easy to write about Zurich because it is full of contrasts. On one hand elegant old town with 13th century  church, on the other big industrial districts with uninteresting gray buildings. Although it is the biggest city in Switzerland, you can feel a certain tone of provincialism, simplicity and most of all tranquility. People willingly commute by ...

Our visit in Chamonix was rather fast. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and the famous summit was not visible from the village. Chamonix is a mecca of mountaineering for the Alps region and a well-known ski resort in Europe. It’s a small pleasant village and like any other ski resort it is full of hotels and sport stores of the most ...

Sanremo is a medium size city on the west coast of Italy, known as a tourist destination on the Italian Riviera.  It wasn’t on our initial plans to come here but a fortunate turn of event brought us here to see a little bit of Italy. We met our host Paolo in the main square and he immediately  took us ...
