Budapest
Cesky Krumlov castle

Hey all, we are in Budapest now and what a change that is from Cesky Krumlov. Krumlov was a quaint little medieval town with tiny streets winding up, down and around and through the tiniest of gaps between houses. We had a very pleasant relaxed time wondering around and also learning a little about it's medieval past. And what a crazy, gruesome time that was. Sorry no exclaimation marks btw, crayz hungarian keyboard. The town's fortunes fell dramatically shortly after the enlightenment and thus it was more or less preserved it it's medieval state to the present day. After drinking our final czech beer and eating my final goulash we boarded the train to Hungary. Several border crossings (we went through Austria) and several changes of train staff (they change when you enter a new country) we are now in Budapest. I am somewhat envious of Kelly, she got a nice stamp when we entered AND left a country so she got 5 I think. I, having a silly EU passport, did not get any. Poopilydoops. Tomorrow we take the train to Sarajevo, in Bosnia. Hurrah, 12 hours of train based fun. Woopie.

Brilliant! Thank you, Craig!
I shall use it sparingly so as to retain its uniqueness in the eyes of others.
