Hostel Review : Camping Village Jolly

By
In June, I am planning to write a lot about my journey to Italy which was . . . exactly a year ago. So, as a starting post, I would like to share a hostel review of Camping Village Jolly. :) 

Camping Village Jolly is a backpacker "home" for those travelling to Venice. It is located in the mainland and it takes around 15 minutes long journey from the nearest bus stop to Venice.

The nearest bus stop is 15 minutes away from the Village, but if you are too tired to walk, Camping Village Jolly provides shuttle bus service. You have to check the shuttle schedule once you land your feet in Camping Village Jolly and book it right away - because it is limited! Also, you have to spend your Euro if you want to use the shuttle bus service. I forgot how much it is, but it should cost less than 5 Euros. :) 
Note from me: if you take the night shuttle service, the bus stops in Tronchento and you could not go there without using "people mover". The people mover station located nearby the bus stop in Venice and it costs 1 Euro per person.

Move forward, maybe some of you are still wondering why the name is "Camping Village". Well, the reason is simply because it really is a camping village. So, in this place, you rent a tent instead of a room, or a summer house instead of apartment. But, don't imagine that you will sleep in a sleeping bag, or have to share a room with mosquitoes. Instead the tent has air condition, (real) bed and bathroom. Does not it amazing? 

There are types of tent in Camping Village Jolly. You could choose whatever you want - depends on whom you are going to travelling with. In my cases, I rent two tents because I travel with another 5 fellow travelers. So, I book tent that could accomodate 3 person - as it is the cheapest tent available at that time. 

At first I thought that they only have one type of tent, but it turns out there are many types of tent - or perhaps summer houses are more suitable. 

I really love this house and I wonder why I did not book this, but well, I have no idea how much it costs. 
I believe the price is doubled or perhaps tripled than my "house".

Above is my dream "house", but in reality this is my "house" in Camping Jolly. In 2012, it costed around 60 Euros per night for a house. 


It is small (and cute), and surprisingly quite comfortable. There are three beds, two are normal beds and one is located above the small desk - erm, should I say it as a bunk bed? 

2 beds and . . .
1 bunk bed
And the last is the real tent. Okay, so my house is not a tent, but a house (?).

Well, maybe I am just fortunate that I book the right tent (or house?), because I also read some reviews about people complaining this and that while staying in Camping Village Jolly. But, never take reviews too seriously because everyone will have different opinion. :) 

AND the last thing, they have some facilities like free wifi, swimming pool, bar and restaurant! When the night came, you could hear many backpackers having a party there. 

Overall Rating: 7.6 / 10

Facility : 8.5 / 10 
Service : 8 / 10
Price : 8 / 10
Location : 6 / 10

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 TRAVELERS !  Di hari pertama di tahun 2013 - masih dengan semarak tahun baru, saya ingin membagikan pengalaman saya yang tidak kalah seru dengan perayaan tahun baru - yaitu ketika saya mengikuti festival Rosenmontag di kota Cologne (Köln), Jerman tahun 2012 lalu. Festival Rosenmontag, Cologne, Jerman February 2012 Rosenmontag - dalam bahasa Inggris disebut Rose Monday , kalau dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti Senin Mawar (hmm - aneh ya).

Thessaloniki . . . where is it?

By
Raise your hand if you have the same question! Thessaloniki is the second-largest city in Greece and currently promoted as a new travel destination city in Greece. The white tower at night Actually, this city was not in my destination list and I visited this place purely because of Ryan Air. I really had no idea what kind of this city is and I found only little information about the travel destination in this city. That is why I eager to write some information about Thessaloniki, since you might have to visit this city if you are going to use Ryan Air. International Airport Macedonia First thing to note down - the Ryan Air's flight to Greece is often stopped in the International Airport Macedonia. This airport is 40 minutes away from the Thessaloniki city center. From the airport, you could take bus 78 and pay for less than a Euro. ( Everything is cheap in Greece! ) And for your information, you have to use your instinc to decide where you have to stop - because...
