My dear pal christian talked quite a bit about this place and i can see why. he lives around here somewhere and im not sure he wants me to find him, but when has some little thing like that stopped me. yep, bull in a china shop, thats me. But im getting ahead of myself. yesterday i had plenty of time to explore venice, and boy, what a wacky city. its a miricle its still standing. my brother eric would shit a brick if he saw this nightmare. the bottom walls of buildings are bulging and blowing out on all the [View Full Entry]

what a wierd day ive just had. Leaving budapest was one of the most difficult tasks ive handled thus far in the trip. Not that a good portion of it wasnt my fault, but it really made me appriciate having someone around who spoke the language. thanks pete. anyway, i rode the subway over three quarters of the city trying to find either a train or a bus to get me the hell out of town. the swine were closing in. first i miss the stop for the bus station and walked the 1.5 kilometer back to the station. it wasnt [View Full Entry]

Just got back from the spa. Just as good as the last, but still no massage. i underestimated how many people were into it and would have had to hang around for 4 more hours. ill live. the thermal baths mixed withe saunas and steam rooms are enough to transform you into a mound of jello. its starting to rain now for the first time since i left the states. so the outdoor club is out of the question. looks like fat moe's speak easy is the conscensus. dinner tonight is gypsy food. then tomorrow its of to the bus station, [View Full Entry]

Well, this is my last full day in budapest. Its been a really great time. Of the 3 travel buddies ive made, one was hungarian. and last night he took us to his uncles house for a traditional home-style hungarian meal. First came the welcome drink, palinka. a fruit flavored brandy. then a salad. then a "push the food down drink... palinka. Next was Dinner, with bread, Nokedli( pasta type dish), Perkote( Goulash style beef stew) and some kind of potatoe dish that i cant remember the name to. It was all delicious! then another "push down the food" drink. Some [View Full Entry]

I just got back from one of the bath houses they have out here, and my god! the thermal baths were around 70 degrees. so relaxing. i soaked for around 3 hours and turned into a prune. the gellert thermal bath is one of the more famous of the bath houses here. the hot spring water contains calcium, magnesium, sulfate-cloride, and floride ions. being in the open air pools outside, just made me want to go right to sleep. unfortunely its a holiday and the massage rooms were all closed. that would have really capped the whole experiance. the steam rooms [View Full Entry]
