Actual Travel Schedule Summer 2011

While I was doing all of my travel research I realized it was super hard to find a lot of information about official Eastern European train/bus schedules. So I wrote all of mine how they actually happened. This won't be a very interesting entry unless you care about the particulars of Eastern Europe transportation! Mostly this one is for the travelers googling train or bus schedules!

The public transport itinerary was: Sofia - Beograd - Sarajevo -Split - Zagreb - Budapest - Vienna

(I went to some other places but was lucky enough to catch some rides for free!)
