But I wouldn’t say No to a water destination!I’m not really a beach person as I prefer mountains and rivers or beach destinations that have more than the sea to recommend them! Me at the Grotto in the Algarve!
I will write about the rest of my trip to Romania.
Very soon!
If you’re here for the first time, join in the fun.
I know I will!

Phew!
So just so that we’re all perfectly clear, here’s the best of Eastern Europe!
TRAVEL THROUGH EUROPE!
Having a hotdog and beer, on a rainy day in Vienna, is more exciting than you think!
I was having a fine time flying all over Europe, thank you very much!
Holland
The Czech Republic
Austria
Croatia
Slovenia
Sweden
England – twice!
Germany
This year, I started a new job so travel has been a little erratic and this blog has been a mess, ‘cos I’ve been living in hotels for the past 6 weeks, and the wi-fi has been absolutely horrendous.
Horrendous!!!
And coupled with early morning commuting at 03.15 in the morning in some places, let’s just say that Uber has been a godsend!
However, things have settled down, and I’m now on track.
Traditional Bergische waffles or Belgian waffles! 9 traditional things to eat & drink in Belgium. With mussels!
I’ve already been to
Belgium
Romania
Germany
And in the summer, I’ll be travelling to:
I love seafood and Sweden has a lot of it!
Sweden
Estonia
Latvia
And at the end of the year, I’ll be travelling to:
India
The Czech Republic
India!
Yay!
I very much enjoy travelling to Eastern Europe!
I’ve been going to the region for more than twenty (20) years, but judging by some of the comments that I get, some people think that I spent just 24 hours, and that I’ve only just passed through!
So in no particular order, but just to whet your appetite, here’s where I consider, the best of Eastern Europe!
BEST OF EASTERN EUROPE. AND THAT’S OFFICIAL!
Croatian beer & Croatian coffee – Croatia – a basic guide to food!
Some people are confused as to what constitutes Eastern Europe, and I regularly get comments from the people who live there and complain that they don’t actually live in Eastern Europe, but Eastern – Central Europe, Central Europe, South-East Europe, and even as so far as to desribe themselves as Northern Europe, and the like!
Eastern Europe is the Eastern part of the European continent!
Experts say that Eastern Europe is the region that historically has Greek, Byzantine, Eastern Orthodox, Russian, and Ottoman cultural influences.
Others say that Eastern Europe is the region that was created during the Cold War, are the former communist European states outside the Soviet Union, and are (including East Germany, and East Berlin, where I live) otherwise known as the Eastern Bloc!

I had visited Romania in the times of Ceausescu. If exclude poverty of the local population, I was astonished by two things: beautiful faces of locals (they were untypical for Eastern Europe), and imperial architecture of Bucharest.
No way! That must have been amazing! Funnily enough, even though I’m aware of the madness of Ceausescu with his own people, I probably would have found Romania far more interesting then, than I do today…! 😉
