1 day in Lake Bled - 30 September I arrived into Lake Bled at about 11am after having to once more get bussed across the border and then to catch a bus from the station in Lesce-Bled to the actual lake. Once there and checked in the man went through the 5 must dos of Lake Bled which included the Bled Castle, rowing to Bled Island, going up to the viewpoint over the lake, exploring the Vintgar gorge and finally eating the cream cake that is famous from the area. ...

Bosnian Adventure in Sarajevo - 20-22 September My bus ride from Belgrade to Sarajevo was beautiful but crazy. It was just a minibus but it was completely full and had very little space. The driver was also crazy, as he overtook people at will and sped through the narrow and windy streets. It did mean that we got there quite quickly though and he dropped me right off at my hostel which was ideal. After originally planning to get in around 2 I didn't end up arri...
