09. into Serbia

Blog entries
With Zagreb having been disappointing, with no more museums of vital interest left, and with a seemingly never-ending rain, we drive ever further east.

33. Budapest (3)

Blog entries, Locations
The last entry on Budapest explores the Buda-side of the city, with its churches and its castle, all heavily restored, and with its unique bath houses. We finally make it to Buda, the city part on the western side of the Danube. But before that, we need to finish the Pest-side of things; I am [...]

32. Budapest (2)

Blog entries, Locations

14. the road to Ruse

Blog entries
Thousands of years of history are exposed on the way to Ruse, from Roman settlement and Middle Age rock churches to 19th Century and Soviet-style architecture.

05. into Bulgaria

Blog entries
Our entry into Bulgaria, in the northwest corner, is both confronting and rewarding: a traffic reality check and castles and mountains

04. Severin

Blog entries
Once-famous Roman town on the Danube, now a mixture of modern and old, both attractive and decrepit

03. the Iron Gates

Blog entries
Where the Danube forms the Serbian-Romanian border, the river flows through a number of gorges, which, predictably, have now been dammed.
