Spain? Ok, let’s go in Catalonia

27. 3. 2015 No Comments

Our Lonely Planet is ready to go… in search of sunshine and early summer temperatures, this time at the end of the March we are going on a short vacation in Spain, specifically in Barcelona. The capital city of Catalonia is certainly the most recognizable because of the football club which wears the same name, however it does not lack either architectural and other attractions, among which certainly dominated by the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, designed by architect Antoni Gaudi.

Traveling on our own quickly became a habit, so we follow our habit once more. We really recommend you to do the same. Forget about the tourism agencies, they charges you at least hundred percent more, and become more adventurous. It is true that when you go on such trip you would face some more worries.

England, Europe

Our “to do list” for the capital city of England

4. 2. 2015 No Comments

“To do list”:

– take a picture of English flag
– make a selfie with the queen
– take a ride with Double-Decker
– have a lunch at one of the markets
– drink beer in the English pub
– see the changing of the guard
– totally calm go past all the coolest shops in Oxford Street
– buy at least snow globe for our collection…

Oh, we are going to London. And you? Fortunately, there is no red alert and enormous amounts of snow like here in Slovenia. The forecast seems excellent. From 0°C to 6°C, sometimes sunny and probably from time to time, also cloudy weather. We will not complain… but hat, scarf and gloves are the thing, which will definitely go with us in a suitcase.

Europe, Malta

Archipelago of twenty islands and reefs: Malta

18. 9. 2014 No Comments

We are already waiting for the third destination of this year, Malta – a small and densely populated island country located in Southern Europe, in the central Mediterranean Sea. Her charms we will discover for a week, from 19th to 26th September. We are flying from Venice Marco Polo Airport with AirMalta airline. Our 7 days accommodation in Malta will be budget hotel Bugibba, which is located on the Qawra peninsula. All together, we booked through the Slovenian Agency EuroGo, because we would in the case of personal booking for the same hotel and airline tickets, pay € 80 more per person.

Africa, Morocco

First time on our own, Morocco

27. 4. 2014 No Comments

After four years of trips and excursions in the more or less distant places, which we visited with many of Slovenian agencies, this year we decided to take things in our hands. The path will today led us in the northwest African country Morocco, which we will visit in the period from 28th April to 7th May 2014.

Our trip planning started with flights booking through easyJet. In view that we chose the budget airline, was the only closest option Malpensa Airport in Milan, from where we are flying to Marrakech. The next thing was finding transfer from Ljubljana to the airport and back. Because we thought that this would be a piece of cake, we didn’t brought undue effort in searching. However, we were sorry for that in the end. Almost all providers leaved us abandoned and so we were after a few calls and mails, stuck with GoOpti, which we booked a week before, and paid excessive price (€ 250).
