Poland and other ideas

We spoke to our friend Anton on the weekend. His girlfriend lives in Poland and the two of them spend a lot of time between there and Australia together. He wasn’t going to be there for long next visit, but now it’s stretched out. With any luck we will be spending some time with them somewhere near Warsaw towards the end of February.

We’re quickly realising that time is going to be a real issue. We want to see so much but at the same time want to be able to relax as well. We planned to do the majority of our travel in Europe via train, but it looks like we might catch some planes to save us some time now.

At the moment I’m thinking that from Athens we fly directly to Berlin (€60 each), to save us some time, then Berlin to Copenhagen via train, Copenhagen to Stockholm via train, then Stockholm to Krakow in Poland via plane (79SEK). From Krakow we can catch the train to Warsaw to meet our friends – Anton has done this before and can give us directions and everything.

Jess seems keen, it’s just tricky. We don’t want to book too much in, but the later we leave it the less cheap deals we will get. I think we’ll book the flights and leave the train tickets until later.

It’s happening!

We’ve already done some preparation, but I’ve only just organised the website. I’ll try and cover what we have already bought/organised/planned in the next few days. There’s still so much to do!

To set the scene, our current “plans” (we don’t really have any plans, just happy to see where it takes us and happy to change our mind mid-trip) are to fly out to Singapore, then to Langkawi (Malaysia) to honeymoon for a week or so. After that we will fly to Athens in Greece, do some sightseeing, maybe some snowboarding in Greece, and then catch a ferry across to Brindisi in Italy. From there we will make our way up to Udine to meet Jess’ family in Italy and see how they live, eat their food and so forth. After that we will just try and see what we want to see, and go where we want to go.

Europe has some pretty popular tourist destinations but we aren’t real “touristy” people. We will see some of the sights just because we are there at the time but I doubt we will really be going from landmark to landmark. I’m happy to be proven wrong though, so long as we enjoy it.

After we are done spending our money in Europe, we will then head across to Canada to work for the rest of the year. I’d love to live and work in Whistler, so I can ride bikes day in day out but we’ll see. It’s not my trip, it’s our trip. With that said though, Jess seems pretty keen to live the “village life” for a while so it could work.

Who knows though, we might be home a month after we leave!
