Zadar Sun Salutation

Zadar Sunset with Light Show and Music for Mermaids

Being surrounded by a maze of long ribbon-like islands running north-south, the old town of Zadar in Croatia is all about the ocean.  Evening strolls along the Riva are mandatory to see the colours change with the setting sun, but two of Nikola Bašić’s creations – the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation add even more magic. …

Journey.Destination.Experience I have thought long and hard about these words. They are Budget Travel Talk’s byline and each are considered with a view to the budget.  I’ve been thinking about this subject because I’m in the throes of planning our ten week trip to Sicily, Croatia and Slovenia.  We leave in a matter of days …

  Where is Galata?   Galata is the southernmost Neighborhood of Istanbul’s Beyoglu District. Some first time visitors choose to stay amongst the big name sights of Sultanahmet, but for our first week in Istanbul we chose the Galata Neighbourhood. Downtrodden and derelict in the 60’s it’s cobblestoned streets now hold an interesting collection of …

When notification of a budget flight from Australia to Japan arrived in our inbox, we spontaneously decided it was time to become acquainted with traditional Japan, aka Kyoto.  I had this dream of staying in or near the Gion Geisha District and maybe doing a walking Geisha tour.

For our first week in Istanbul we lived in an AIRBNB Apartment near Galata Tower.  Most nights we walked up Galipdede Caddesi until it met Istiklal Caddesi, the most well known street in Istanbul. We referred to Galipdede as Music Street, because of the many music shops that lined the street and the amount of buskers …
