Ramada Hotel Budapest

... Fantastic, they have this jogging track lined with the spongy stuff they put down on kids playgrounds.. my knees actually loved me for once! Oh and there were plenty of fellas jogging past bare chested.. not that I was looking i was enjoying the view over the Danube! (don't pronounce the b as my friend Tash did and I never let her live it down!)<br><br>Had dinner at an authentic Hungarian restaruant.. lots of soup!! The dacing was Gypsy and reminded me a ...

... back Carlotta had her blissful day while reliving al the scenes from her favorite movie and Tom got to visit Czech's most famous beer and one of the world's most popular beers, Pilsner Urquell. The tour of the facilities was awesome and impressive. The beer plant fills over 150,000 beers an hour! We learned a great deal about the beer making process, the ingredients required and the fermentation process. The beer has been made since 1842 and the facilities were built shortly ...

... would have to stay in the same apartment. With nothing else on offer I said I would have a look to see what the apartment was like. In fairness it was massive, had a big living area and two reasonable sized bedrooms. I was trying to figure out how much the apartment was per night to see how it compared to the cost of the two studios I had booked but she kept avoiding the question by saying that it would be a complementary upgrade at no extra charge. Even with the size of the place at ...

... Jonathan Black - and was feeling slightly wierded out when Joseph walked in - he managed to blow both Dean and my minds by the time we got to Budapest and the 6 1/2 hour journey just flew by - The long and short of this rambling is that nothing is a coincidence, there are none and the universe is an amazing place for those with imagination and the gift of listening....Joseph yes Paul Van Dyke does know what he's doing!!!

... ques of Austria-they were in the same empire after all. As soon as 7:00 rolled around, I headed back to the train station to buy my ticket to Krakow, and pick up a map of the city. I find it easy enough to buy the ticket, and its cheap as well; only 39 Euros for a 12-hour ticket. After picking out a amp, I get a rough idea of where I want to go and how I'll get there ingrained in my brain; this map is bulky, and in ...

... decided to test our cooking skills. He made the pasta, I made the potato rounds, and with a few struggles, we had ourselves a carbohydrate packed meal. It was so nice to have a couple of companions to talk to at night after being silent the entire day. We cooked way to much food, and being part of the clean plate club, I had to force myself to finish the rest. Pain is weakness leaving the body : ). The next day I went to the terror museum. It was a museum ...

... definitely try a different one. My lack of enthusiasm for the Gellert baths may have also been related to the bad nerve pain I was having. I was hoping the thermal waters would help but I guess they aren't for neurological problems. The nerve pain lasted all night so sleep was difficult. The pain was just agonizing but there isn't anything I can do except wait for it to end. I had to get up early for my flight to Dubrovnik so I eventually just got out of bed when I realized sleep ...

... based language. I do not really know what these means for the alphabet or the sounds they make. I can't even really distinguish it from any other language that they speak here, which is occasionally English. Not bad. So yeah, we're heading to Venice next which apparently is awsome but stinky. So no different from our good friend Ange. GAH! She's not reading this first, that's why I wrote that. Anyway, happy Thanksgiving and write soon. We also enjoy your emails. LOVE Colleen and Ange

... I knew that I would only be back in Hungary for a brief eight hours that Saturday, so walking down familiar streets and seeing familiar faces for the last time was very enjoyable. Soon it was back to the airport for a flight to Lisbon, and a return to Western Europe for a bit.

... is the tomb of the unknown soldier. On each side of the column are colonnades with pillars displaying many important figures from Hungary. The first is King St. Stephen. Going to and fro Castle Hill you must cross the famous Chain Bridge. It is the oldest bridge in Budapest. Such a breath-taking view. Especially at night. Alett and I walked to the Bridge in the evening. Standing on the illuminated bridge with the Dabube below and Castle Hill ...
