Woke up early for my 5:50 train going to Andamat to Chiaaso to Como Italy. If you have Swiss Pass, it’s only valid till Chiasso, you need extra ticket to get to Como San Giovanni.
Don’t sleep! Or you will miss such lovely sights. Everywhere you look at is simply magnificent. Beautiful nature! It’s very easy to move from one train to another platform. So dont worry if you only have few minutes to transfer to another train. The SBB trains are very punctual!
I woke up early for my 11 am Wizz air flight to Venice Italy. No flight delays, and the weather is perfectly fine. The plane landed at exactly 12:15 pm. Since I do not carry any euros, I withdrawn money from the ATM near the exit.
I looked for bus heading to Piazza Roma, the fare cost 12€ one way. If you need RT you can get it for 22€. Piazza Roma is the last stop. Bus ATVO. The bus driver also gave me a free map. As soon as I sat, I started mapping out the places I would like to visit.
Day 1
It’s been a while since I travel alone, more than a year I think. I kinda miss it, so here I am, at florence bus terminal in Praha, about to embark on my new escapade! I’m going to Croatia and then Slovenia.
I’m taking Flixbus that departs at 7:30am to Vienna Edberg. I prefer Flixbus among other bus companies because it has more room for your legs, well, I’m not tall but I get uncomfortable with small space like the Student Agency Bus, another advantage of this bus is the price, it’s a lot cheaper compare to others.
After 3 hours waiting in Vienna bus station, I took the bus headed to Zagreb, Croatia.
One of my greatest challenges to myself is to do Skydiving. I did bungee jumping before, so this year, I took the challenge. I skydived in my 27th Birthday!
I booked my sky diving at Skycentrum, you can contact them through Veronika (fiserova.veronika@post.cz) – She’s the nicest ever! I paid 5620 KC (213 Euros) which includes Tandem jump + USB HD Video and Photos, and RT transfers.
The jump took place in Pribram airport, an hour away from Prague. The shuttle will take you there, as soon as you arrive in the place, you’ll see the amazing crew. First, you will be asked to wear the jump suit, get short training or should I say rules to follow when jumping. You have nothing to be scared off, all the crew are professional.
Are you a huge fanatic of Sound of Music? Then, Salzburg Austria is your best destination. I’m a great fanatic of the 1950’s musical, lead by Von Trapp Family Singer. From Prague, I packed my backpack and head to Salzburg. The cheapest way to get to Salzburg is via Munich, book a ticket to flixbus, and present the QR code to the bus driver. I booked my 1 night accomodation at Hotel Vuona Vita via booking.com for 69 euros – This is the cheapest I got which is good for 2 persons. I suggest to book it ahead so it won’t cost you much.
It’s easy to get around Salzburg, you can take the bus to get to the Mirabelle Garden. You must not miss this lovely place!
