This was a trip taken in December 2006 just before Christmas, beginning in Bulgaria, then to Romania, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia and finishing in the Czech Republic. It was a fab trip with fairytale houses in tiny villages where the scent of firewood flows through the air, cosy mehanas (Bulgarian style pubs) which are so inviting with their chimney fires burning away. I have many good memories of entering these to get away from the freezing air ourside and sitting in front of the warm fire and eating soup.
Romania showed off its stunning mountain scenery and of course its famous castles including the famous Dracula´s castle. Hungary surprised us with the beauty of its capital city which lights up so beautifully at night reflecting many colours of light along the river Danube.
Austria offered us mountain scenery with its lakes and traditional villages. We experienced Slovakia and Poland´s natural wonders of snow-capped peaks and rivers and finally Prague kept us busy for hours as we roamed through its streets and tasted its traditional christmas sweets and punch at the christmas markets. East Europe is perfect for visiting in the winter and has a romantic feel to it...one that I will not forget.
