Early morning flight for 25 EUR but it was totally worth it. 🙂 We woke up at 3:30 and landed to Naples just before 9:00. Upon our arrival we have soon noticed the chaotic city and how nobody respects the traffic lights. However, it took us one day to adjust. Our accommodation was in the city center in some old 19th century palace. However, there … Continue reading Naples, Italy
That big and busy airport in Germany that is spottable even from 12,000 metres above! Brilliant and amazing. However, my first time arriving there was by train and the second time I was flying. I took the local newspapers like a local and started to renew my German. Frankfurt am Main is the 5th biggest city in Germany after Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne. On the River Main (a tributary of the Rhine), … Continue reading Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland
Short one day trip from Lisbon to Porto! Not much time plus the rain, but oh boy, we enjoyed! 🙂 We rented a car and cross the country driving for almost 4 hours. We arrived to the hill where from you can beautifully sea the river Douro that flows into the Atlantic ocean. With its historical core which was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996 it is medieval and charming city and … Continue reading Porto, Portugal
A weekend trip to northern France. 🙂 The region is called Pas de Calais. It has been named due to its famous Saint Audomar who brought Christianity to the area. The first stop was the main square where the Christmas market was held. We decided to have a glass of champagne (which was surprisingly a bit sour) and stroll down the food market to buy … Continue reading Saint Omer and Nazi bunker visit, France

Pairi Daiza (formerly Paradisio) is a privately owned zoo and botanical garden located in the province of Hainaut, Belgium. The park is thematically divided so we started with domestic animals 🙂 We continued towards the monkeys, but there was some garden on our way – perfect to take photos. Some ducks and guises before the monkeys 🙂 Finally the monkeys in cambodian temple… In this one of the biggest zoo’s in Europe – it … Continue reading Pairi Daiza zoo, Belgium
It was nothing like I expected to be! I was tired of travelling from Brussels via Istanbul over Black sea… but once I started to land to Baku over Caspian sea… I woke up again and all the excitement started to run again. I got the present at the airport in Baku upon my arrival. After all, it was my first time to Azerbaidjan. What … Continue reading Baku, Azerbaijan – the land of fire 🔥
So how to explain this post? Well, I guess, the most reasonable start would be: I arrived to this city to attend the wedding of a friend. This is her city by birth and it took me 4 hours in an ugly bus to arrive here. The bus started from some shabby little station, actually it was a corner. Luckily, I got friends with a … Continue reading Galati, Romania
From Moldova I took low cost company TAROM and landed to Bucharest. And I was surprised. 🙂 My friend insisted to order an Uber for me as the local taxi drivers are fatal serial killers trying to scam the tourists. So I decided to accept the advice. As my Uber driver and I were approaching the city, I have to say I did not expect broad … Continue reading Bucharest, Romania
I arrived early in the morning to Moldova, with no special expectations. I knew it is the poorest country in Europe and that the visit to the capital of Chisinau can be done in one day. Landing with Air Moldova looked like this: Btw, apparently in Air Moldova you are not allowed to take more than one glass of wine. How sad, especially as the country … Continue reading Chisinau, Moldavia
