Day 2 – Thursday 13th September 2007

Today started well with a great breakfast at the hotel,(continental today so much healthier than yesterdays fry up!!) we arrived late last night in the dark so it was surprising to see such amazing views of the Alps surrounding us when we got up today.

We drove through the south of Germany towards the Austrian border with the mountains just to our south, some of them were snow capped and looked fantastic! Crossing the border was as uneventful as all the others, I don’t know why spies like James, Jason and Tom (now there’s a challenge, first 2 are easy who’s the third??) have so much trouble with it! The roads in Austria are not so good and the mountains have gone as we head a bit north to cross the country!

Andy won’t let me listen to wicked today, I am allowed ‘selected songs’…….. WHATEVER, if you can’t listen to the whole thing there is no point!!

Erm … day’s taken an eventful turn. Hilarious time in Vienna. Beautiful city, lovely architecture, enjoyed a fabulous cheese and ham toastie in the plaza. On the road again heading for Budapest. Oh, slight delay due to cunningly arranging for the police to tow car out of disabled parking bay and deposit in impound for us … parking’s such a chore on the continent!

Arrived finally at Budapest. Hotel room is hilarious. Its an apartment with a mezzanine second bedroom, fully equipped kitchen and 2 lounges.

Having a nightmare with electricals today (laptop wont connect to the wireless internet and this kezboard is a pain … the kezs are in zer wong plöce)

Off out for some tea now before an early night and our 1000 miles tomorrow from Budapest to Istanbul.

Over and out

Hehe,

With your descriptions of lush hotel rooms you sound like a right pair of old tarts.Don't tell me,they've got red plush cushions with complimentary whips!?
What you boys need is something to give you a bit of spine. A night in a tent would do the trick...

Oh, and Tom the spy?

Would that be Tom Cruise, perchance? Scientologist and covert CIA agent? No seriously, he was, weird though it sounds. (CIA agent that is, everybody knows Scientologists make Christadelphians sound mainstream)...
