Interrail 2009: Zagreb & Ljubljana

What a nice comments on my last post! I am really into the surrealism and I enjoy very much making these kind of pictures. So a lot of people asked how I did it... I will not tell you step by step, as a true magician never tell his secrets ;-) and it is just a lot of work! I can tell you that I made two photographes and mixed them together with PhotoShop.

So I thought, I post some more pictures of the interrail trip last summer. As the fall really begun in the Netherlands, I love looking at these pictures... and dreaming about next summer. I had my first driving lesson this morning so who knows, maybe a roadtrip? I hope so!




There were so many nons on the street!




After Lake Balaton we had the worst travel day. It took us forever to get to Zagreb, wich we did not calculate as the distance was not that far at all. Zagreb was nice, but I was not overwhelmed by it. It is very neat and sophisticated wich we did not expect. The hostel we stayed was awful, maybe that was also a reason we went soon to our next destination: Ljubljana!

Ljubljana was beautiful! I really enjoyed the calmness of the city. The beautiful flowers and the nice streets. We walked to the castle in the evening wich was so much fun. It was already very dark and we did not see anything. Unfortunatly, my boyfriend was really tired the first day so we stayed in the hostel half the first day.

Interrail 2009: Lake Balaton

It is a while ago that I wrote something about our trip this summer. I thought it is about time now I continue!

After Budapest, we went to lake Balaton to cool down. It was a nice lake, but too bad there were so many tourists! There were a lot of expensive snackbars and everything was made for the tourists. We stayed at a very nice hostel. They told us where to go and where we would find the nice places. We rented mountainbikes for one day wich was a lot of fun! Didn't make that many pictures because we layed at the 'beach' most of the time.

Interrail 2009: Budapest

After the rain in Prague we did wanted some sunshine, but not THAT much. It was approxiametly 40 degrees (celcius). The government was giving free water so we didn't totally dehydrate. At the moment there was a huge Formule 1 race around Budapest so there were a lot of people visiting the city. Beside all that, Budapest was great. It is an amazing city and has a lot of beautiful buildings. I really want to go back someday, but in the spring because in the summer it is wayy too hot!

Water, water, water! It seems calm but there were a bunch of tourist enjoying the free water.

At the subway, the moving staircases are really long!


Large indoor market where you can buy clothes and food


Budapest at night is gorgeous


Nice view of the city

Interrail 2009: Praha

Prague is definitely one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. Every building looks like a piece of art. We stayed four days in Prague because some friends were also staying in the city. Also a plus in Prague: it's very cheap!


My boyfriend and me, look at that view!




The view we had from our room


The cutest tea bar ever

The famous Karlov Most

Interrail 2009: Berlin

It was a hard selection but I managed to choose 600 photo's out of the 2609 photo's we made. Still way too much to show on this blog so I picked a few. Hope you like them!

Our first stop was Berlin! After seven hours in the train we were finally at the station. We couldn't find the subway and became a bit moody because we were walking around for almost 45 minutes with our backpacks on. But we found it! The hostel was a 20 minute ride with the S-bahn but beside that, a nice (and cheap! the cheapest we had in our vacaton) place to stay.
