Riga (Latvian: Rīga): capital of Latvia, 696,618 inhabitants, -20 degrees on winter, 22 hours by bus from Krakow and more 30 minutes to understand how bus and trolley work around the train station. Between Krakow and Riga, lots of things we wanted to visit, Warsaw, Gdansk in Poland, Kaunas and Vilnius in Lithuania, but we … Continue reading
How to get to Krakow without taking an expensive international train? Mmm… Cadu found a solution: we got a regional train from Prague until the Czech border at Cesky Tesin (we avoid putting the accents), where we crossed the border walking at 5h00 in the morning; 15 minutes after we were already in Cieszyn (small … Continue reading
We were curious to discover Prague and we were not disappointed: the city is great and we have found a special host who helped us so much! Thanks Micha! The apartment we stayed is in the middle of colorful buildings, in a residential area where nice restaurants, cafés and a farmers market made us feel … Continue reading
We have chosen the cheapest trains to move inside Germany: the regional ones. Our first plan was to go to Berlin and Dresden was on the way. We decided to discover it searching a room to share on Couchsurfing.com but we realized that it’s not as simple as it looks like when you are not … Continue reading
Thanks to Diya, Darryl and their friends we could enjoy Stuttgart not only as tourists but mostly like as we lived in this city, completely rebuilt after the Second World War. The main attraction on Stuttgart is the Mercedes-Benz Museum. The city is Daimler-Benz ‘hometown’. Their logo can be seen easily on the skyline. The … Continue reading
We arrived in Zurich where Isabel, Christian and Luiza were waiting for us. They told us that Zurich is the best city to be in summertime and that’s true because you can take a bike for free (Zurirollt) and ride along the lake and in the historical center. In 2 days you have the time … Continue reading
First stop of our trip was Milan where we met our friends Chiara, Giovanna, Enrico, Gabriella and Giorgia. We arrived at Milano Centrale, a splendid example of fascist architecture; even if you’re in a hurry don’t let to have a glance around. Sky was blue and weather was fine so we didn’t spend a lot … Continue reading

Plane is fun but taxi still remains the funniest way to move in Madagascar! Streets are not streets but huge holes; cars are not cars but Renault & Citroens from the 70’s… Morondava is a quiet city on the west coast, people are friendly and the river makes you feel good. If you want to … Continue reading
Back to the route! Now direction Tulear. After being cooked in the Isalo Park we were willing to get to the beach. We still have 6 hours ahead. The landscape was getting even dryer and the “houses” instead of those made of mud, were built with straw. Life is harder in this part of the … Continue reading
And then we started our trip into the trip. We were about to leave the capital towards Tulear in the RN7 (National route #7) for 1200 km. We didn’t know what to expect of the quality of the road and we were willing to see everything from the van window. Our driver was a good … Continue reading
