Central Europe - Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia

Low cost flight from London to Budapest, did the rest by train and bus. Hungary : long and humid nights, deep fried goose skin, Turkish baths, Ghengis Khan, parties on the Danube, beautiful old Jewish quarter, rainstorms and sophisticated tearooms. Croatia: long pedestrian streets of Zagreb, gorgeous drive to Dubrovnik (Dalmatian Coast), Venitian-style boardwalks


with fabulous gelato. Slovenia: castles reminiscent of Transylvania/Nosferatu, clearly part of EU as roads and infrastructure a step above anywhere else in the region. Serbia: slavic beauties eh-vray-where, loads of orthodox temples, pleasant outdoor markets and fresh cheese.
