Prague Apartment review: Vysehrad Apartments

Een plezierig appartement. Wel een beetje buiten het centrum, maar niet zo ver dat het een probleem was. Buiten het centrum, is bier ook wat goedkoper ;) Het appartement was zat groot genoeg. Ik zou er zeker weer blijven.

Malolo Island Hostel review: The Resort Walu Beach

We were rather bummed to find that the "Private" room advertised was in fact a room within a larger bungalow with several other small rooms - NOT one of the private huts that are scattered around. We did have a private ensuite, but the living area, balcony, etc. was all shared. And there wasn't a lock on our door or even curtains. So it was not really a very private experience at all!

After we got over that initial surprise, we got to know some of our other fellow residents and enjoyed some pretty good times here. The staff are friendly in a typical Fijian way.

An interesting note is that this resort actually featured in a TV show flop called "The Resort".

Bergen Hostel review: Jacobs Apartments AS

A pretty decent place to stay in Bergen. It's quite close to the city centre - walking distance. The room was clean and quite spacious.

Micronesia

I lived in Micronesia several years ago for a few months and have been back once since for a short visit. I spent most of my time on a little atoll by the name of Kapingamarangi, but also stayed on the main island of Pohnpei for a while.
