Debrecen / Lviv - Auschwitz – March '13

This trip is a good example of not planning everything at the same time. As the original plan stated we planned to do a 3-day Debrecen - Budapest trip, which ended up in being a 5 day Debrecen - Lviv - Krakow (Auschwitz) one.

Prague - July '12

For the sixth summer in a row me and a group of friends (ranging from 8 to 15 guys) will visit Prague for a weekend of partying, cheap beer, pedalbiking and hangovers. Since we have some friends living there we discover new things everytime and are able to do things not many tourists do, like Prague's beach outside the city centre or the partyboats on the Vltava.

Brno / Prague - march '12

My second trip in '12, a combined weekend trip to Brno, my first time over there, and Prague, visiting that city for the eleventh time in less than five years. Here's a little review!

Friday 9^th of March

An 8:00 flight from Eindhoven Airport caused us to get up way too early, since we had to take the local bus at 6:15 in order not to miss the flight. Although the flight had quite a lot of turbulence, getting three seats for two persons is always good and 1,5 hour later we landed at Brno Turany Airport, one of the cutest airports I've ever seen. But given the fact I was in one of the three planes that would land there this day, it made sense Brno doesn't really need a big airport. 

Brno Airport

Brno / Prague - early march '12

I try to get away once every two or three months, and looking for a trip in march I stumbled upon a cheap flight to Brno in the Czech Republic. One of the disadvantages of cheap airlines however are the facts you have to deal with a timetable where sometimes there are only two or three flights in a week and flights leaving at times like 6:10 in the morning. In this case it would mean landing in Brno on Friday, and leaving on Monday morning, forcing us to take two days off of work ánd spending three full days in a relatively small city.

The type of tourist that rushes through a city like me can see a city like Brno in less than a day, so the search for another city to combine Brno with started, and pretty soon it was clear Prague is the city where my flight home leaves. One of my favorite cities in Europe, always good to come back there and with a flight leaving Sunday afternoon, a perfect match.
