WELCOME

Welcome to Trail of Gems!

I toyed with calling this blog "On the Crumb Trail" for that fairytale feeling of a Journey Through Unknown , but decided that this was created not for me to find my way back, but to recommend inspiring, cozy, budget-friendly resources and havens I have found along the way.

These pages contain listings under these major categories:

See + Do - sights, activities, must-experiences
Stay - accommodation I'd send my dearest friends to
Ride - modes of transport to ramble, roam and gallivant at will
Eat - as if I wouldn't have something to say on this subject!
Plan - extensive libraries of researched advice
Speak - basic language skills to order food, say thank you, etc.
Act - collaborate, volunteer and cultivate awareness

Enjoy, respond and love life!

Hungary: Orange Ways

Linking about 25 European destinations with their bright orange buses plying the routes, Orange Ways is Hungarian bus coach company and their prices are a steal. We got from Budapest to Prague for about $30 CAD and that was way below the cost of the train.

The seats are comfortable, they show movies, the friendly stewardess explains there is a tiny toilet cubicle (use for #1 ONLY!) and you can get coffee or hot chocolate spit out from an automated machine but I don't recommend either.

Our 7am departure meant we had to know exactly where the bus leaves from but with Google Maps it's an easy world to navigate in our modern times.

Safe journeys!
