Welcome back to Biscuit Time! After a few months off, I am back and (hopefully) semi-regularly making podcasts. And, after a slight hiatus, there's no better way to come back than talking about what I've been up to with my best mate Aidan.Aidan and I embarked on a two-week trip around Central Europe in July and here are some tales from the trip. From sharing a train with 300 Spanish High School Graduates in Budapest, to a 10-hour speedboat trip around Split and Hvar, there are some real highs and lows in this episode as well as some VERY useful tips for any keen travellers.Enjoy!Find biscuit time here: linktr.ee/biscuittimeFind Aidan's business Rekicked on instagram at: rekicked_(:
