Which service? During the year, when planning our trips, we spend a certain amount of time working with various portals to book accommodation. There aren’t either many options. There are a few leaders that monopolize the market. However, let’s focus today on how the leader behaves when it fails. Now and then we do a …
We’re going to Tokaj next week (to get some wine). As usual, we want to visit something interesting along the way. Our plans are: Vienna, Maribor, Zagreb, Banja Luka, Mostar, Sarajevo, Budapest, Tokaj. On the way we want to see 11 spomeniks. And all this in 10 days. Expect beautiful photos and interesting stories!
“Cards with messages had been sporadically created and posted by individuals since the beginning of postal services. The earliest known picture postcard was a hand-painted design on card, posted in Fulham in London by the writer Theodore Hook to himself in 1840, and bearing a penny black stamp.[1][2] He probably created and posted the card to himself as a practical joke …
An important part of our trips is local food. Not only is it available in restaurants and bars, but also goodies that are simply available in shops. Below is a gallery of our tastes. The hit of the trip: cheese bars. Vanilla, coconut, with different fillings and toppings. Gift for cats: dried fish and seafood …
It was our last day in Russia. What we have left is to refill our stock of delicacies. And then we drove towards the border crossing with Latvia. Here are some photos of the most important points of the return journey. Already in Lithuania, what we love the most – food! It’s getting closer and …

So remember: …
The 16th day of the journey was promising calmly. A 4.5 hour drive, it means 305 km to travel, maybe some lunch on the way, then we had to make it to the village of Pushkin to visit Tsarskoye Selo. We hoped that maybe we would even drive to St. Petersburg for a moment. The …
How did the Tsars live? 25 km south of St. Petersburg, in the village of Pushkin, there is a summer residence of the Tsars – the Tsar’s Selo. Tickets can be purchased online and at the ticket office. More information (tour times, permanent and temporary exhibitions, etc.) can be found here. The Tsar’s Selo was …

We realized that by overlapping very little road, we can get to the recommended viewpoint, with a view of the White Sea. Then we returned to the originally planned route and …
Our plan was very simple: check out of the apartment, leave Murmansk and finally see the Barents Sea close up. At the beginning, we discovered that packing the car, after almost complete unpacking, does not take 10 minutes. So the plan of the day went away from the very beginning. As we checked earlier, getting …
