Central Thailand – Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai

If you missed our trip to Bangkok, you can find the last blog post here.

The next day we woke up in plenty of time to get to the travel agency, where we would be picked up and taken to the bus stop for our journey to Ayutthaya. Due to our fragile state, however, we decided to stop for a cooked breakfast at a small bar just down the road from the hostel. This act delayed us to such an extent that we were soon sprinting down Khao San Road as fast as we could under the heavy burden of our backpacks. We arrived, panting, into the travel agents with a minute to spare and collapsed into the chairs inside. We needn’t have bothered. All departure times in Thailand, we were to find out, are very much approximate. Continue reading “Central Thailand – Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai”

Bangkok – Our 1st stop in South East Asia

Bangkok

If you missed out on our final stop in Europe before heading to Bangkok, you can find out what we got up to in Dubrovnik here.

Our journey to Bangkok would be a long one. Having been dropped off at the airport at 6am, we would endure a 2 hour flight to Istanbul, a mammoth 13 hour layover in Ataturk airport and a 9 hour flight into Suvarnabhumi. All that would be capped off by an hour long taxi ride to our Hostel – Lub D Silom, a short distance from Lumphini Park in the east of the city.

Dubrovnik – Dragon’s Den

Dubrovnik

If you missed out on our trip to Split, you can catch up here.

After a nice period of rest in Split, it was time to hit the road again and set off for Dubrovnik. We got an early morning Uber to the bus station and boarded the bus for Dubrovnik. This journey would not only get us to a city which we had both dreamt of visiting for years, but also add another country to our already growing list. Continue reading “Dubrovnik – Dragon’s Den”

Pete and Cath do the Splits!

Split

If you missed our last post about Plitvice National Park, Korenica and our innate ability to wander into international incidents, you can get up to date here.

A mere 4 hours bus journey from Plitvice, on the Dalmatian coast, lies the city of Split. Croatia’s 2nd largest city, Split’s history began way back in the fourth century when Roman emporer Dioclesian decided to build his retirement palace there. This palace now forms the heart of Split Old Town, a labyrinthine maze of alleys and passageways that cry out to be investigated. This would be the location of our next and penultimate stop in Europe. Continue reading “Pete and Cath do the Splits!”

Plitvice National Park – Don’t go chasing waterfalls

Plitvice Jezera

If you need to catch up on our pre-Plitvice adventures, you can see what we got up to in Ljubljana here.

The next morning it was time, once again, to hit the road. Sergey, our very helpful host, gave us a lift to the bus stop and we boarded our bus to Zagreb. We would only be paying a flying visit however, as our final destination was another 3 hours south by bus, the town of Korenica.

We left Tolmin via the same means by which we arrived, getting a bus back to Most na Soci and a train through Bled. This time though we carried on to the end of the line at Jesenice before changing platforms and boarding the train heading for Ljubljana. Continue reading “Lovely Jubbly Ljubljana”
