Now in Budapest!

Hello People!

Hope everyone is doing reallz well back in England... or if zou are on holiday that zou are having a brilliant time! If there are lots of y's and z's in the wrong place... well its because thez've been swaped on the keyboard! Rather confusing!

As I mentioned we left Ulcij in Montenegro at 5am. Kind of woke up a little bit late and if it wasn't for the taxi we would've missed the bus... completly judged the distance wrong!

The bus journez was 5 hours long, the first 3 hours on a minibus. Me and Danny where sat on the rear seats but when we got two somewhat larger people than we were, along with our rucksacks things got rather uncomfortable! Also if anyone has heard of the bay of Kotor? we drove all the waz around it taking nearly two hours which could've been swam at the mouth in 10 minutes! There were even car ferries taking coaches accross! But we went all the waz around!


The first views of Dubrovnik, The old town (Satri Grad) is in the foreground!

As soon as we got off the coach we got swarmed with people offering accomodation. Out of no particular reason we picked one and got taken to this womans house! A bit different to normal! Her father was also there cooking... we got told that that was his job!

Couldn't cope with Dubrovnik old town very long at all. Heat an people made it pretty unbearable! (There were 7 cruise ships in port!). Therefore gave up and went swimming!


The beach which wasn't much of a beach! More like a concrete platform with bits of rubbish floating around! It had a cave at the end with even more rubbish floating around! NICE.

The evening in Dubrovnik old town was very enjoyable! Reminded me of Venice. Lots of outside restaurants and plenty of places to sit beside the water! A very relaxing experience compared with earlier!

The next day....
... was spent on the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split

Look everyone... this is proof that we used sun tan lotion and still went red!

Went out very briefly to a club along the beach.. people where sat in the water drinking beer. Personally I preffered the swing chair drinking Jagermeister! Some Canadian guz bought all of us one... and Danny lots more! Hmmm?

Next day again....

.. was supposed to go white water rafting but couldn't find the information about it early enough so wandered around the old town instead! Headed off to the beach later....

... and went roack Jumping.

I had already been swimming and got changed when Danny came up with the idea of jumping off rocks! Didn't really want to get changed again so I said I'd just watch... What I actually did was watched him not jump because he got scared (Small kids where diving off this). Only when I got changed, did he try to jump in before me! Wasn't happening and I was in the water before him.

The Moon and Star in the Sky, the lovely sight at Split station whilst waiting for the train.

Overnight train...

... a bit scarz but an interesting ride. The scarz part first.. nearlz got robbed. A guz wearing a strippz top tried to get into our cabin but Danny had mangaed to hold the door shut, then he tried the next cabin and got some money, he then pushed his luck and tried a third cabin and the two girls in it woke up. All was returned but we never saw him again. Scary thought as all the cabins he targeted where backpackers.

The next day...

Got off at Lake Balaton with some American girls we'd met on the train. Had a swim and then continued our journey towards Budapest!

Lake Balaton before the swim.... looked much happier afterwards as we'd just spent nearly 18 hours on a train!

The castle on the Buda side of Budapest at night....ű

Not really done much since we've arrived. Pretty much only booked the Caving for tommorow.

Some people i've met along the way....

Onboard the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split I randomly started talking to this older guy from Sherburn, Devon (UK). He explained a bit about Bosnia's history and how his town was twinned with around 24 european towns... one being in Finland. I thought I ought to ask which one, expecting a really random answer but to my amazement he said Karkila (thats where my grandparent's summer cottage is....)

Then I met a guy called Alex, from Canada. He was taking the identical career route as me in life. Do a degree in Engineering whilst at the same time learn to fly. He had 85 hours so i'm beating him (Trying to do a happy face but can' find a colon thingy!)

And the last couple we met where studying at Manchester University and there favourite night club was 42nd street... weird or what!

The world is so small! But also so exciting!

Thats it for now, staying in Budapest for 3 more nights so i'll up date this as soon as I can again.

Keep safe

Leave me lots of comments! I'll even say please!

Goodnight x x x
