6th day


Another day in the road. 135km to reach Vienna with only 2 cars (one guy from Slovakia and other from China) - fast and efficient as we like =p



The first day of extra stress...arrived to Vienna without place to sleep and went to McDonalds to use WiFi and post last minute requests on Couchsurfing! Thankfully, when we where already walking around the city and visiting gorgeous places...we received 3 texts from people that could host us! It´s amazing to see how great people can be! We started to smile and jump again =D
Today we sleep in the house of one guy from Guatemala with another girl from Peru and tomorrow we change place again (but still in Vienna).



Hope that you are enjoying to see our adventures and you can always check here where we are and that we are still alive =p
Kisses and hugs to all our friends and family that are following this blog*******

5th day

Walk in the city with amazing weather to cheer you up. Funny thing: the clock in the center of the city looked like...hmm...something but not a clock =p.

 
 After that...an unexpected trip to Valtice - a town 1h30min away - to eat typical food "Knedliki" and go to a wine tasting (trying 100kinds of wines from Czech Republic) with a group of 17 great people from Slovakia, Poland, Russia, Germany, England, Italy, Belgium & Latvia. We love things that are not planned.
 

Our time in Brno is almost ended...we move to Vienna tomorrow
=D


Natalia's testimony: 
"We spend an hour together and I already knew that I'm going to have a great time with these guys. But I didn't knew then that I will end up in Brno!
Thank you guys for this amazing trip, you've made my weekend! ;) That's a real pity we have to split tomorrow... Wish you luck for the rest of the travel!"

4th day

Auschwitz!
Heavy day. Learned a lot but seeing the place where 1,2 million were murdered (in a rainy dark day) just reduces your moral and happiness to it's minimum.
Advice if you go there: don't pay...just join some guided group and enter - they don't ask for ticket (why we payed? -.-'').

"The one that does not remember history is bound to live through it again"
George Santaryana

Hitchhiking from there to Brno with Natalia (our host in Krakow) was a bit (a lot) challenging! But 325km, 7h and 5 cars after we arrived xD
We even got in a ride with one man that took us to visit his hometown "Bielsko-Biala" (small but cute).
We arrived and we had a magic cake expecting us (if you know what I mean =p) - did we traveled for so long that we came to Amsterdam? OK...Now we'll spend 2 nights with Michael (the magic cake amazing guy, from New York, that's is hosting us).


4 days and 4 countries:
bye bye Poland & hello Czech Republic!!!

3rd day

First day that we stayed somewhere - Kraków. Amazing free tour in the city and visiting gorgeous places. Every day we need to take some crazy picture so this was the one of the day.
Main square of the city - biggest medieval square in Europe with an underground museum. In the church of this square there is a guy playing a trumpet every hour (even during the night xD) as a tribute to a guy that saved the city from Mongolian invasion.
The Wawel Cathedral was amazing with dozens of types of architecture in the chapels - one for each king they had. Neat the cathedral was a dragon (symbol of the city) that spits fire every 5min.
We tried Polish beer & zapiekanka (something like Polish pizza xD)


Wawel Cathedral 

Dragon spitting fire

Natalia - host for this 2 nights in Kraków that we kidnap to travel to Brno with us =p & Salome - Colombian girl that we met in a random bar

2nd day

Visit big Warsaw! Beautiful places but sadly we couldn't visit the Exhibition about Blindness Life, that we really wanted, because it was fully booked.
Warsaw - Kraków 300km and 6h hitchhiking with 1 truck and 4 cars. The guy in the truck (Paweł - Polish) took us to eat amazing Polish soup "Żurek" and even payed for it. Thanks a lot, you're amazing =D
Now we are drinking wine with Natalia (cute Polish girl that is hosting us trough couchsurfing).
