We head to the concentration camps at Auschwitz this morning before continuing on to Prague in the Czech Republic, it's likely to be a sad day, but it's important to remember these kinds of things to ensure they aren't repeated. Early morning leaving but this meant we were the first tour group to go though the gates. I liked this as we didn't get stuck behind the bigger and slower groups.

We headed to Krak...

Today we celebrate Tall Ryan's birthday along with investigating Vienna.

While we were there Meg broke out a gift she got for Tall Rya...

Leaving Budapest today and we head to Vienna, but along the way we will be stopping In Bratislava the capital of Slovakia for a walking tour and some lunch. We have a new driver today, seeing Ronnie is at two weeks since his last day off he has to have a mandatory 45 hour break. Ronnie coincidently isn't even allowed on the bus so will have to make his own way to meet us in Vienna. We arrived in Bratislava and I have to break the news to people who remember it fr...
