Budapest and beyónd!

Ok, currently residnig in Berlin, but time to back track a couple of days... and yes i am aware i havent finished thre last post!

But on with the story.

After booking the tickets to go caving within the confides of Budapests extensive cave network, Miika and Me jumped at the chance to go considering two years ago we missed out, however Dean was a little reluctant and decided against the idea of crawling through small holes. Anyway themorning we awoke, Myelf and Dea took a trip to the Schensel (something like that) Turkish baths in budapest, it was great thermal pools, mineral pools, and the water was fantastically hot, you could easily come here and not freeze in the winter.

After spending numerous hours at the baths it was time to leave, so leaving dean to explore the city on his billytod i made way to the caving meeting point, first there befotre the arrival of several norwegian individuals, miika and then a bunch of yet more americans. Setting off from the meeting point we followed our love smitten guide to the caving site via a series of busses, once there we geared up and set off into the caves...

The whole experience was fantastic, dark, not damp climbing, crawling, sliding and squeezing, i never knew id be able to fit through some of the gaps id gotten through, including the smallest of which being one known as the Winnie the pooh hole, known so because of te amount of people that get stuck there!

Lasting for a tad over three hours when we eventually emerged we grapped some quick beers before heading back to budapest by foot, taking the odd photo along the way and even having a mini feast on mc donalds cheeseburgers too.

The next morning it was time for me and Dean to leave Budapest, and make way to our new dstination, Prague a small city ´but needing to take a 6 hour train journey to reach it. Arriving in Prague at somewhere around 21.30 we had envisioned arriving at our hostel relativley easily... two hours later, we eventually did. (thanks to the road not existing on any maps). That night we decided to only spend one noght at the apple hostel, complete lack of atmosphere and a rather un friendlzy receptionist... however i did get my revenge! Moving the next morning to the much more social A Plus hostel, we checked into our room, when we entered we were greeted by about 6 english uni grads all scantily clad and passed out all over the room, great.

later that day we wandered round Pragues streets exploring and eating ice cream... i even checked out one of the interactive art exhibitions that was on, dare you take a peep inside...

Eventually the time came to depart for Berlin, so we returned to the train station, and boarded our train for Berlin, four hours later we arrived, found our hostel (again it was off the map) then dispersed for food with our Dansih roomie Kasper before heading out tro a live music show that lasted till the early hours.

For todays plans, were checking out a free tour of Berlin and leaving this great city at about 11pm to make way for our next destination... Sweden!!!

Catch you all soon!!!
