Travelling Again

I left the farm yesterday and set off for three weeks of travel. I'll be spending a week in France before busing my way to Eastern Europe - Zagreb, Sarajevo, Mostar, Dubrovnik, Lake Bled and Ljubljana are all on the itinerary. Of course the list is subject to change, but that's the current plan. What worries me the most is that it's August in Europe. Well, it's August everywhere, but in Europe it's peak tourist season and I don't have anything booked ahead of time. I'm slightly comforted by the fact that it's not possible to book trains or buses online for any of these countries. The only way to get tickets ahead of time is to go to a sales office which means you have to actually be in the country to book a ticket. That means no foreign tourists can pre-book, so I assume I won't have too much trouble buying a ticket on the spot. I do need to think about sleeping though - I'll probably do a mixture of couchsurfing and hostels.

In France I'm going to Macon (already visited), Lyon (current location), and hopefully Annecy. I'll also be spending a few days in Paris when I get back from Eastern Europe, but before going to the Loire Valley for another HelpX exchange.

I'll try to keep the blog updated while I'm travelling!
