Where am I today?

Well here I am in budapest - and today im feeling pretty hungover!

Stopping in a nice hostel (!) in the ccentre of pest - only about 8 pound a night. Got drinking with some people from Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Iceland and before I knew it one drink led to twwo, three, five....six!

Now i,m going to try and find the baths for a relaxing hour or two!

Tomorrow, Zagreb or Vienna - as always i have no plaan so will decidde at the station!

Haydn, i decide not to check out your ""clubs""

Well after a night in Zakopane, i'm back in Krakow writing this.

After deciding i'd spend another night 'sleeping on a train'. Budapest is my next destination, as I need a soak in their baths! As always, I leave things to the last minute, and couldn't get a sleeping compartment, so just have a seat. I shall be holding onto my wallet all night (I hear Haydn saying "for a change Gary"!!).

Message to Justine.......give Kirsty a proper curry, get a takeaway jalfrezi for her, it does haydn no harm!)

Message to Haydn.....Ay up, I give Derby one season!!!

Message to Cookie......you can't beat the sausages in Germany and Poland, but the women look much, much better!!!

If I say 'Zakopane' - would you know where I spent last night?

Not the best of train journeys here - in a compartment with just one other person (Czech or Polish I don't know).

How I wish it would rain, other than a few spots here - really hot!

Krakow, really nice place, nice and cheap - even my 3* hotel (need some proper sleep rather than hostel / train). Had change from 15 pound after lunch dinner and 5 or 6 beers!

Feel safer here than I did in Prague - again not sure where to go next, may have to be Warsaw since trains don't run anywhere else on a regular basis. As for Krakow, I have one more night here - where I shall go sight seeing to Auschwitz.

Adious for now!

Well one week gone, Prague was ok, but need to move somewhere cooler!

I,ve decided on another night train - up until the last minute I couldn't decide where, but Poland won over Budapest (for now).

Krakow here I go. wish me luck, and if nothing appears here in the next 7 days start worrying (Ha, ha, ha - only joking)!

Well prague was my next stop - an overnight train from Munich (in a compartment with 5 Koreans!).

Would I recommend an overnight train.....probably not - quite strange trying to sleep. That said, I may take one tomorrow night to Budapest (unless I think of somewhere else to go - Poland,Berlin or Slovakia!).

Well i've found my way to munich - been here 2 days - enjoying the delights of beer, beer and sausages!! Coventry German market had nothing on the ones here

Next stop.....Prague, not as planned, but who needs to follow a plan. Plus, it#s an overnight train so will save accommodation costs

And what a great journey from the airport - just gotta find where im staying now

Well, just 13 days to go!
