People have been asking me recently about where we’re going. While I have only a vague idea of all the places that we will be hitting in the next 1-2 years, I have a pretty good idea of where we’ll be going in the next 1 month or so. Like last time we will be following the words of wisdom of our European travel guru Rick Steves’. Check him out on PBS if you have time. And if you are planning any trips to Europe I encourage you to pick up one of his guide books. It is $20 well spent.
For our itinerary this time, we will be hitting the following cities (in this approximate order):
- Istanbul, Turkey
- Ljubljana, Slovenia
- Bled, Slovenia
- Plitvice Lakes, Croatia
- Split, Croatia
- Dubrovnik, Croatia
- Copenhagen, Denmark
- Budapest, Hungary
- Vienna, Austria
- Krakow, Poland
Can you spot the odd one out? Is that a typo? It’s not a typo, we are really going to Copenhagen, Denmark between Croatia and Hungary. What? It doesn’t make sense to you? Well it doesn’t make sense to me either that it should be cheaper to buy an airplane ticket that goes from Croatia to Denmark, and Denmark to Budapest than to fly from Croatia to Slovenia to Budapest. But cheaper it is and so to Denmark we go.
For those of you (like me) who are not good at geography, here’s a map:
Here’s our flight from Dubrovnik (DBV) to Budhapest (BUD) via Copenhagen (CPH). Yes, this was really cheaper!
We actually stopped in Copenhagen on our last visit to Europe, so we will only be staying over night.
