Thirsty in Hungary

Hello all
Hozj pozj.. (How are you) We have been having a rare old time out here in Hungary. We arrived at my mate Patrick and Susza's bar in Budapest - The Caledonia (it is now a must in Budapest for all weary travellers) and enjoyed the first of many cold ones!! The beer here is ace - but then I would say that .. Hmmmm Beer (homer simpson styley). Dreher is our favourite at the minute - nice smooth pilsner, ice cold fresh taste... Anyway, after a couple of good days in Budapest we headed on a cruise up the Danube to a beautiful place called Visegrad which is steeped in mediaeval history and it was a real unspoilt area of Hungary. We cooled down by swimming in the Danube and of course ice cold Dreher. Then it was back to Budapest to catch the train (more of that later - oh what a journey!!) to Siofok on Lake Balaton. Both of us sunbathed for England yesterday and I forgot to turn over and now look like a giant crabstick!! Rainz today, which is not a bad thing really - chance to cool down.. Update soon .. photos to follow... happz dayzs to you xx Mick and Andi

East again - not quite as far this time



Right, well after the delights of China recently I have developed a taste for the east and so myself and Andi are off to Budapest for a 2 week break to visit a mate of mine Patrick (complete Celtic FC nut) who has just opened a bar there with his Hungarian girlfriend Szusza. Looking forward to catching up with him and talking a bit of footie - will report on the beers, baths, and scoff whilst over there - hope to get a few more posts in than in China. I couldn`t speak as I had a frog in my throat as you can see from the picture. Bring on the goulash.... piece of cake (that`s a poor analogy to go with Goulash mick)... watch the space folks - please add a caption to the photo... cold beer for winner
