When we were on Koh Samui, renting a motorbike was the best way of visiting the island. Of course, there are private taxis and songthaew, but it is a quite expensive and not very convenient mean of transportation, as after visiting each attraction you have to look for the next car. I already wrote about the island here. Below I’m ...

After a week of laziness on gorgeous turquoise beaches in Railay and Koh Phi Phi, Koh Samui was a great escape from colorful fish and white soft sand. You will not experience that here. The island, in general, is not pretty. It’s far from azure tiny bays of Koh Phi Phi or tawny orange cliffs hanging above the bluish water ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are two types of people in the world. The first one are people who prefer driving a car on an elegant paid highway, speed 130 km/h or more, put a hand outside the window and make a “wave”, go straight, not look around and not worry about signposts. The second includes the fans of  secondary roads with interesting views, ...

Salzburg is Austria’s fourth biggest city and is considered by many the most charming of them all. Its historical center is part of Unesco’s world heritage sites since 1997. It is full of massive squares and impressive churches. The Cathedral is located in the between three squares Residenzplatz, Kapitelplatz and Domplatz. It was first built in 774, rebuilt in 1181 ...

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 ...
