Euro Trek 2009
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009
Just returned from a two week trek across central Europe! My brother Ben and I went to Budapest where my brother Connor is teaching English with his girlfriend Heli. The four of us and another girl named Eva set out to make it to the southern coast and back up to the top again.
This was my first time in Europe and it was quite amazing. We also stayed with Eva’s parents in Hungry and Heli’s parents in Slovakia. They were very graceful and excited to see us. They filled us up on some amazing traditional dishes and Eva’s parents gave us two massive jugs of homemade wine for the trip!
Budapest is a beautiful city, practically carved out of stone. Vienna has massive extravagant palaces that seem to match the very fashionable and trendy lifestyle. Bosnia has huge winding mountains, and in it, Sarajevo though quaint and friendly bears many scars form the Bosnian war of the early 90s. The concrete walls of our hostel was still riddled with bullet holes.
The Adriatic sea on the coast of Croatia has crystal clear water spotted with Islands. On the island of Korcula we found a beautiful condo on a mountainside that overlooked the ocean. It even had turtles in the balcony garden!
