Segway day today! Woke up very excited that we would be speeding around the city on a segway!! Was a bit nerve wracking at first learning how to do it, especially on the cobbled streets but we soon got the hang of it and were excited and wanted to get going. We had a great tour guide (Honza) who was so enthusiastic and fun and taught us so ma much about the different parts of the city. We started on the castle side (lesser quarter) and then went righty to the top...

What a stressful start to the day, all due to the train boards not being updated. We were at the station in plenty of time then our train was delayed. The amended time was put on the board so we got on the train that came at that time. Didn't feel like the right train so got off at next stop which lucky was another one in Vienna. Finally after lots of to and fro running for another train we got on one to Prague. 4 1/2 hours later and we were in this beautiful pla...

Full day in Vienna today and our plans to go shopping were scuppered due to everywhere being closed on a Sunday! Ridiculous how much is actually closed!! Instead we decided to do some sightseeing. We went to find the huge London eye type Ferris wheel the other side of the main city area and it was such a disappointment. Very run down area with a mini fairground. We then decided to go back and find Hofburg palace,much better! Lovely ice creams were bought on the w...

Arrived in Austria safe and sound after a very busy train journey having to sit on the floor for most of it. Had a very chatty Chinese man sat next to is at the start telling us his whole life story which was funny (and bit annoying as we were so tired from an early get up)! We were very impressed with ourselves managing to find our way to the hotel using the metro and the tram, we looked like locals! When we arrived at hotel we the set off to the Naschmarket, ...

Last full day in Budapest started with well deserved relaxation time at the thermal baths. Definitely needed after last night (we both felt very delicate this morning, needing a McDonald's breakfast to bring us to life). Also we discovered that Hungarians are rather lazy and the shops don't open until atleast 10- 10.30. We think this is because drinks are so cheap they allow them extra time in bed in the mornings!! It seemed to take forever to walk to the baths, ...
