Vlkolinec

Before heading to Vlkolinec I read some reviews here and elsewhere and had the impression I was going to be disappointed by something underwhelming. Well, the village is extremely small …

Buenos Aires – La Plata

The city of BA is a very pleasant and bustling city with much Neoclassical Eurpean style architecture. I do not know what reasons exactly might justify its inscription though. I …
