Travel Mates
- ZQ & TY – read more at our about page
- Caroline – our travel mate from the 2007 Melbourne trip
- Val – a Flowerpod forum member who responded to Caroline’s call for travel mates. We were unable to convince her to take a group photo with us. Thus, a silhouette figure which looked like her, was used to complete the picture here. What she looked like will remain a mystery to our blog readers for now but try spotting snippets of her back, hair etc in our pictures for our later blog posts.

A summary of our journeys around Central Europe:

- Taking a 5-Hour Train (Linz) + Private Shuttle to Cesky Krumlov (Czech Republic)
- Moving to Prague via a 3-Hour Student Agency bus

Feel free to download our Central Europe trip itinerary if you are:
- Crazy Adventurous enough to embark on this fun and exciting journey
- Kaypoh Curious enough to see what we were up to
Packing for the trip
Our luggage weighed a whopping 35 kg+ even before we stepped foot on the plane to London! Luckily we have 23 kg luggage allowance each.

What’s in our luggages? – Food and Guidebooks!
- TY was worried she can’t adapt to the food in Europe so brought along lots of Maggi Mees, cup noodles and biscuits.
- ZQ was worried he will get lost in translation so he brought along the trusty lonely planet guidebooks – one for each city except Krakow.
- And not to forget the tonnes of toiletries – moisturizers, hand/face/don’t know what else cream brought by TY.

@ajit
You must be mistaken
. We are not a travel agency. If you would like to do the central europe trip free and easy, you may follow our journey in this blog.
ZQ
Hi, I like your blog and I’m particularly interested in your Europe trip. Both of you spent only SD2700 for 17 days trip? Does it include flight tickets and accommodation?
It’s extremely cheap!
Hi Shelz, S$2.7K included everything inclusive of flight tickets and accommodation. All thanks to ZQ, he’s the planner and tour guide!!:D
Wow.. that’s amazing!
Mind to share in details? Do you have your expenses tracking in excel spreadsheet that you can share it to me?
@Shelz, sure I am currently working on this itinerary spreadsheet and will upload onto Trip Itinerary section when done. Will drop you a note when its ready
It has always,always been my dream to back pack around Europe! I’m amazed that you guys spent only $2.7K inclusive of air accomodation?! That’s the best bargain I’ve ever heard off. I tried to download the itinerary but it wasn’t available =/
We are having some backend problems with the upload. Pls check back tomorrow. I should have it fixed by then.
Hello guys, it’s amazing how you did it within such tight budget! We are a group of 3 adults + 1 4-year old kid, and we plan to follow your itinerary but we only have 12 days at most. How do you suggest we change the itinerary? What are the places we can skip? Thanks!
Btw, the 12 days I mentioned excludes flight times from Singapore to London and back.
Hi Clara
12 days is a bit tight to fit in everything in the itinerary. You might have to skip some cities e.g. London and Vienna.
Reach London – fly to Prague – spend 2 days
Bus down to Cesky Krumlov – spend 2 days and go back to Prague to catch a night train to Warsaw – spend 1-2 days then train to Krakow – 2 days then go to Budapest – 2-3 days then fly back to London from Budapest.
where’s ur taiwan iterinary??
i wanna kop..thanks!
uploaded – go take a look
Hi ZQ &TY
A very big thank you for your trip itinerary for Central Europe. We took your advice and were able to save quite a bit on our trip in May 10. We also loved the recommendations for the food and would like to compliment you for all the time & effort that you have spent taking pictures and writing the blogs. Kudos for a job well-done!
Thanks Lynn!! Glad that our Central Europe Trip blog posts help you in planning your holiday. We will be updating our Turkey trip itinerary soon, do keep a lookout if you are planning to go Europe in future too! =)
