Our journey to Venice was very similar to our journey to Split. It was another 24 hour journey with a long layover in the middle of the night in Villach, Austria. I posted some pictures of the train travels. It first started with a six hour bus from Split to Zagreb. It was the most beautiful and scenic ride through the mountains and diverse landscapes of Croatia. We had a few hours to explore Zagreb before our second leg of the journey. It was comical being in th...

Croatia is by far the most beautiful country I have ever been to. When we arrived in Split at seven in the morning we figured we'd be exhausted after 24 hours of traveling, until our train came around a bend and the sun was rising, the sky was cotton candy pink and the ocean was the clearest turquoise I have ever seen. The mountains were spotted with white houses with Nantucket red roofs. We found our hostel (the sheets were ironed!)shortly after arriving, but h...

When we arrived in Prague yesterday we headed straight to the hostel ...

Today we are in our last city in Germany before we leave for Prague in the morning. We got off the train in Berlin with our backpacks and just sat down now for the first time all day. Berlin has been so great, as we have done and plan on doing during this trip we walked everywhere so we can see the most of the cities we visit in the short time. Berlin has so much history and has been really interesting to see what we talk about in our history classes. Our fir...
