Beijing is, as expected, absolutely huge. It has the most extensive metro system in the world and that says it all. The metro will be your best (and very affordable) friend if you want to pack the main attractions within 5-6 days of reasonably paced sightseeing. You pay depending on the distance travelled and you …
We flew via London and landed in Muscat on Saturday early morning after a 8 h overnight flight . If you do go via London Heathrow International Airport , there is a pretty cool play area for toddlers and pre- schoolers at gate A3 in Terminal 5. Check it out if you have more than …

I travelled to China in the beginning of June but, as it's often the case, normal life took over upon my return and did not yet manage to record my impressions. The main purpose of the trip was work related. However, I extended my stay to be able to discover Beijing ( and a bit …
I travelled to Tirana in December 2017 to participate in a work-related conference. The presentations finished already Friday mid -day and I was left with about 24 h to explore a bit of the city and surroundings before my flight back on Saturday PM. Tirana itself is nothing too spectacular and similar in look with …

On our third day in Georgia, we had our Guide/driver ( see here how we found him) waiting for us at the hotel and started our tour of the Eastern part of the country. First on the list was a visit to the David Gareji monastery. It is located in a semi-desert area in the …

In Summer 2017, we were looking for a destination that was not yet firmly on the travel radar of Western Europeans to satisfy our thirst for off-the-beaten-track adventure. It was a trip for me and Mr only, so we were ready to step up the physical activites, be less picky about hotel accomodation as well as cover more …
Against my own best advice as regards travelling in August, the weather in Belgium just managed to chase us out of the country once more. This time direction France, Nord-pas-de-Calais region. Now, this is not exactly the European South so we did not expect 30 + degrees and warm seas but we did want some …
Actually, it is not that difficult to get lost, particularly in the old part of town (Medina). Just to give you a bit of context, the Medina of Marrakech is big, around 4 kilometers in diameter in places. It can also be very confusing, with winding covered streets, narrow dead-end alleys, and hundreds of dusty side …

The trip from Matera to Salerno (my jumping off point to Positano) was more tricky than initially thought. The plan was to take a Miccolis bus leaving at 8.15 from Matera, changing into another bus from the same company somewhere at Salandra and continuing to Salerno for a trip lasting about 3h30. The fault in the …

Arriving into Bari by train it takes about 15 min from the train station to the old city. This is the place to be if would like to get lost walking narrow cobble streets typical of old South Italian cities and taste great sea food in family run trattorias. I can only recommend to make …
