Railing thru Europe: Stop 18.1 Bulgaria – Sofia
After a rather ‘shell shocked’ experience in Romania, our overnight train ride takes us to Sofia, the largest and most populated city in Bulgaria. As our rail passes were due to expire soon, we decided to make Sofia a day trip as we were arriving quite early in the day and there would be some time for us [...]
Enjoy a holiday to Corfu
| Guest Post by Casey Walker | Surrounded by the blue waters of the Ionian Sea, Corfu is located in the western part of Greece. This enchanting city has a picturesque terrain densely covered with cypress trees and olive groves throughout the city. Lined by beaches with shingle coves, Corfu is home to several museums, [...]
Railing thru Europe: Stop 17.2 Romania – Brasov
On our 4 hrs train ride to Brasov from Bucharest, we passed by Sinaia, where the beautiful Peles Castle is situated (We had wanted to stop by on our way back to Bucharest but never made it due to their unreliably slow train service). When we arrived at the bus station just outside Brasov train [...]

Railing thru Europe: Stop 17.1 Romania – Bucharest
Hmm… prior to this trip, the only things I’ve known about Romania are probably 1) Gheorghe Hagi (Romania’s football legend and one of the best Attacking Midfielder of his time) and 2) Bram Stoker’s Dracula (which probably left me with the impression that Romania is dark and goth-like and full of mystery). However, what we [...]
Railing thru Europe: Stop 16.1 Hungary – Budapest
“When 2 become 1″ does that phrase ring a bell? haha..it’s one of the songs by the Spice Girls back in the mid 90′s. It is also a phrase that best describes how Budapest got its name. It is formed by the unification of 2 towns by the river Danube, the hilly Buda (west bank) [...]
Railing thru Europe: Stop 15.2 Croatia – Zagreb

Railing thru Europe: Stop 15.1 Croatia – Split
As we were heading back to our hostel in Munich to collect our backpack and stuff, the weather became gloomy and it started to rain again. We reached the hostel just in time before it became a thunderstorm. Usually during a thunderstorm one would try to stay indoor for fear of getting drenched to the [...]
Railing thru Europe: Stop 12.6 Germany – Munich
2 things would come to mind when you talk about Munich (München), capital of Bavaria (Bayern). 1) Football (FC Bayern Munich and the Allianz Arena) and 2) Tales of large beer halls! Not surprisingly, these 2 go hand in hand as most people watching a game of football would have their choice of beverage a [...]
Railing thru Europe: Stop 12.5 Germany – Fussen
After spending the day at Rothenburg Ob der Tauber, it was time to make our way to Munich to rest for the night. We checked the time-table and realised the journey would take us about 3 hours and 3 connecting trains to reach Munich. When we finally arrived at 9pm however, the sky wasn’t very [...]
