I'm always reading about C&Hers travels around Ireland, Europe and elsewhere. So here's a spot to share all your travel experiences - photos, anecdotes, favourite place you've ever been, where you want to go, travel advice etc. It'd be awesome to hear of the places people have been and to even share tips on where to go/what to do etc.
My best ever holiday was last Summer when I went interrailing across Europe for a month. We visited Budapest, Krakow, Prague, Dresden, Berlin, Amsterdam, Bruges and Brussels and it was an incredible experience. I could go on at length about all the places but I'll save that for later posts :P
My favourite city was Krakow. I was very skeptical about going to Poland - I think I envisaged some dark, dreary country but it totally exceeded all my expectations! The weather was beautiful - hot but less humid than the desperate heat of Budapest. Krakow is a students city and there are hundreds of bars, clubs, restuarants and hostels so the night life was very enjoyable. We went to the Salt Mines and Auschwitz which were fantastic experiences (although the salt mines were a tad tedious). Food, drink and accomodation were SO CHEAP which was pretty damn awesome
The giant sideways head in the town square which some drunken students attempted to steal a few years ago. They were found by the police who assisted them in getting it into a truck... they did this because everyone in Krakow hates this statue :P
Not a great picture but this is inside the salt mines. The entire room is made out of salt - the floor, the walls, the furniture, the stairs, the statues, the carvings on the walls - everything! Pretty impressive :eek:
On the way to a club one night a fiddle playing crazy man invited us onto his little hippie bus parked in one of the city squares. This is a photo from inside the bus. It was quite an awesome bus
