Makarska, Croatia – September 23 – October 1, 2014 After leaving the tourist mecca that is Dubrovnik, we were looking for something low-key, budget-friendly and warm-weathery. Turns out Makarska was the right choice as the tourist season was just about over, our apartment cost $30/night and it was sunny and 25 degrees.
Salzburg (& Vienna), Austria – October 4 – 10, 2014 The Eurolines bus ride from Sarajevo to Vienna was, well, long. I’m not really sure how else to describe it.

August 23-28, 2014 When we arrived in Prague, we were pretty exhausted from all the going. Every city has a lengthy list of things to see so naturally you try to do everything. We knew when we started the trip that we wouldn’t be able to see everything, for a couple of reasons… 1 – budget and 2 – burnout.
