... Gelato and I don't care for gelato. We saw the first church that brought Christianity to Hungary yesterday in Kesckemet, I will try to attach a phot of the church to this entry using Bill's computer.

Bit of an extra to the Vienna entry…Vienna and I ended up being lost in the city for 5hrs. We'd walked out of the boundaries of our map and then got given dodgy directions by people. After about 3hrs we got told by some guy we were a couple of km’s from the boundary of Vienna….oops!
