Awesome report, have been waiting on this one. Glad you liked Mentalitet, it was quite good!

Brilliant trip report; love the style with meaningful statements and gorgeous pictures.

I thought photography was banned in the Budapest terror museum? ;)

Great report and some lovely pictures, fun to see so many cities i've visited through somebody else's eyes (and camera). Makes me want to go to Belgrade though

Fabulous report and images, just got back from Europe myself having done a Christmas market wander, mine was more German and Norway orientated, makes me want to turn around and go where you went!

looking at this really made me look forward to flying home to Europe tomorrow for xmas. great report

I don't think anything more needs to be said about the quality of your photos by now!
I would add this time that I love the type of food you pick during your travels, mixing and matching and not just 5 star food porn.
As always, excellent report!

Many thanks, SFO777:). My first trip to Europe during winter and was a bit worried about the cold, short days and lack of sunlight, but easily found plenty of things to point the camera at:).

Cheers, chongsss:). Hard to name a favourite. The cities I visited all seemed to offer something unique about them, from the architecture and cool vibe in Zurich, to the friendly people and great Christmas Market in Bratislava. I really want to head back to Vienna though; it rained for the entire time I was there and would love to see it with blue skies and long summer days.

Thank you, agp423:). Was quite a fast paced trip with 6 new countries in 9 days, but got to see and experience so much.

Thanks, MichaelBaku, hopefully seeing all the photo's is the next best thing to coming along:).

Thank you, Bretteee:). The Vienna metro is quite extensive, I think they have an S-Bahn system too(?).

Yes, the Fiegelmuler schnitzel was very tasty, getting a good dose of pig meat is not so easy in Dubai:D.

Driving in Italy was fine. A couple of drivers with bad manners / no patience, but nothing compared to Dubai:).

Cheers, DL17:).

Many thanks, fabulousflygirl:). I have a tendency to take alot of photo's but it makes remembering everything I saw and did alot easier:).

Just with my Canon 5D3: http://www.dsw-photo.com/Travel/My-Camera

Thanks, jackthedog:).

Thank you, HangukStyle:). Takes a while to cull all the photo's down but is good to see all the remaining photo's tell the story at the end.

Cheers, offerendum, next trip will be very different again too, got to keep up the variety:)!

Many thanks, hauteboy:). Yes, Mentalitet was a cool find, awesome food at a great price!

Cheers, canuckshark, I'm not very good at writing lots of words, so like to keep it nice and concise:).

Thanks, exilencfc:). If they don't catch you taking the photo's, it didn't happen:D.

Definitely recommend Belgrade. Cheap, quite a bit to see and do, and very friendly people too.

Thank you, Noelene:). Was my first time seeing Christmas markets, and really pleased with what I saw. Was interesting to see each cities take on them, from the Swarovski stall at Zurich Hauptbahnhof to the live music at Bratislava:).

Cheers, Lounge Expert:). Yes, the Europeans certainly seem to know how to celebrate everything Christmas!

Many thanks, deovrat:). Yes, I enjoyed the duck breast and cordon bleu, but sometimes you just want a pork sandwich fresh off the grill:D.

Amazing Report and Pictures like always Daniel. I missed this one earlier. Very adventurous of you to visit all those places in a short time frame. So many different languages/currencies/cultures.

What a wonderful trip report, DanielW. You always manage to capture the essence of a city really well. It's all about the details, as seen through the eyes of the great photographer that you are.

Gorgeous report! Thanks for sharing.

very nice! that food is making me hungry :)

Many thanks, isaifan:). Yes, got to see so much in such a short time! Just looking now if I can do something similar in eastern europe this summer.

Thank you, JohnRain:). Yes, so much to point the camera at, almost abit overwhelming at times:)!

Cheers, aw:).

Thanks, thetravelingRedhead:). I think I put on a few pounds from all the delicious food too:D.
