The delights of Eastern Europe

The first places that I visited in Eastern were Prague and Budapest. I liked both places a lot. Last year my husband and I visited Sofia in Bulgaria, Bucharest, Brasov and Bran in Romania and Bratislava in Slovakia. In Sofia we visited the Russian church and a beautiful park. In Romania I liked Brasov the most. While we were there we went to Bran to see Dracula's castle. The food in Romania was really cheap compared to the Danish prices. One day we both 2 soft drinks and two main courses at a Restaurant, and the price was about $10. In Denmark one main course often costs $20 or $25, and we were very surpriced when we got the bill. I liked Bratislava a lot, too and I enjoyed my visit there.

I have visited Prague and loved it.It certainly is a city that you won’t forget – with its friendly and helpful people (don’t be put off with their brusque appearance, they really are charming when you get to know them), the incredible fast, clean and inexpensive transport system and the incredible sights there are to see there. We booked our holiday through Expedia and we had an excellent choice of hotels to choose from; as we wanted to be able to visit as many places as possible on our visit we opted for a central hotel that was near to the Charles Bridge, after much searching we eventually chose the four star Golden Wheel, (I know not very Czech sounding!) for its location and because it looked a more traditional hotel than a lot of the more modern ones on offer. We opted for the ‘Junior Suite’ which came with a dressing room and a terrace offering a view of the city, the cost with breakfast for a 5 night stay cost us £597 in April, with flights costing just less than £400 it was just within our accommodation and travel budget of £1000.
