Shorts are getting shorter...

We only spent 5 days in Budapest... but we'll be going back to Hungary next week before we fly to London on June 15.

We met up with a few people in Budapest that we'd stayed with in Romania (Matt and Ben from USA, and Lisa from Canada), and checked out a few Hungarian clubs and bars - including one called Szoda which was wierdly very similar to Funktrust!

We also went to the House of Hungarian Wines in Buda with Matt, Ben, Meghan and Kirk . $15 for 50 open bottles of wine in a big wine cellar, all you can drink in 2 hours... it all got a bit silly, but we had such a fun night.



After Budapest, we caught a train across to Zagreb, which is where we are now. We're staying in a room here with Fed (Em's work friend from Sydney) and Lisa. We weren't expecting much from Zagreb as everyone seems to use this city as a stop off to head to the Dalmatian coast, but there's lots to do at night here - great clubs, bars, and restaurants, and the pre-World Cup soccer games are on, so anywhere with a tv is packed when a game is on!

It's starting to get a bit warmer, shorts are getting shorter, and posters for the summer music festivals are appearing! We'll definitely make the most of it now, incase we need to start looking for work in 2/3 months time!

Loved the photos from Zagreb.
So much wine ...so little time, but you all seemed to make the most of it.. We saw a story on "Getaway" this week about Zagreb and the presenter tasted cheese in the market on the back of her hand...looked like the stall of the old lady in your photo!!!! Love Mum, Meg.

Just had a lazy browse through your photos, what a prosperous looking town Zagreb now is... we also saw the television show Meg mentioned and watched with great interest. The Socceroos Captain, Mark Viduka, comes from around there, we saw him on the show as well. Are you going to or have you been to Dubrovnik?? It was my number one favourite town back in 1969 and it looks even better on the telly.
