Budapest

What excitement! Our train from Graz was rather full so we ended up spread throughout a couple of carriages. At our change in Vienna, Cris got off at the right station but Sylvia and I accidentally stayed on the train for one station too long (my fault). By the time we got on a train returning to the correct station, we'd received a txt from Cris saying that he was on his way to meet us...somehow we eventually ended up together on a train to Budapest. Then we got down to some serious sightseeing.

Who do you reckon would win in a fight? This guy (he has spiky axles)...


...or this guy whose horses are cool, calm and collected?


Random collection of Kiwis


Traditional fatty meat snack (basically deep fried dough). That's Phill in the middle - he is a really nice guy and let three friends of friends (or friends of friends of friends) crash in his lounge. It was quite mean of Cris to steal his undies.


Do any of these treatments appeal to you?


They do thermal baths in a big way in Budapest. This is the amazing ceiling of one of them.


What a moustache.


Us with Phill


A very famous statue warning of the dangers of running with icecream on a very hot day.


Standing near the citadel in Buda, looking across the Danube at Pest. (there is also a pest in the foreground, hahahaha)


A bit harsh!
