We're around six weeks into our trip and here are the places we'd like to visit again and would recommend.
Giardini Naxos - Sicily was great all around and Giardini Naxos was the perfect place to take a little break from traveling. We definitely want to explore more of the coast and the interior of the island.
Islands of Greece - We managed to do Athens in three days so next time it's island hopping time.
Slovenia - We loved Ljubljana and our day trip out to Bled. The area is beautiful and would be a great place to come back to for hiking, camping, etc. The people were very nice and we really felt like that was a highlight of our trip so far.
Budapest - This city is much larger than we expected. We only budgeted two days to see the sights and missed so much. If you go, spend at least a week so you have time to walk around the Castle Hill, take in an opera, hit the museums, and just soak in the city.
We're heading into Germany, Switzerland, and more of Austria for the rest of May then on to Amsterdam and Belgium before heading into the UK. If you have recommendations in those areas, we'd love to hear them.

Recent Stops
We have not had a good internet connection since we took off from Giardini Naxos so here's a quick recap of where we've been recently.
From Giardini Naxos, we took a train to Naples where we stopped for the night. Then it was on to Bari where we hopped a ferry to Patras, then another train to Kiato, and one final train into Athens where we spent three nights at the Hotel Intercontinental courtesy of a lucky Priceline bid.
After Athens we headed into the Western Balkans. We stayed two nights in Skopje, Macedonia, one night in Beograd, Serbia, and two nights in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzgovinia.
Now we're heading to Dubrovnik, Croatia where we'll spend four nights in the old city before hopping a ferry to Split, Croatia, for a couple of days where we hope to catch the Croatia v Sweeden Rugby World Cup qualifying game.
After Croatia, we're heading north towards Zagreb, and Ljubljana, Slovenia, before turning west towards Switzerland and Germany. More pictures to come once we find a decent upload connection.
