Dear All Once again, many things have happened since I last blogged so this will be another long one. I caught the overnight train to Budapest last Friday, which was fine, and arrived early on Saturday morning. I spent the morning wandering around Buda and went to the castle and the labyrinth inside Castle Hill. The labyrinth was particularly cool. The Hungarians have an interesting sense of humour. There was a whole section of the labyrinth devoted to "Ho...

Dear All Well, it's Friday and I'm still in Brasov which I am enjoying thoroughly. Monday night was good fun with about 15 of us from the hostel going out. Nightlife in Brasov isn't exactly hopping so it took about 30 minutes of wandering around just to find a place that was open but it was fun anyway. On Tuesday, most of the hostel (about 20 of us) took the day trip to Bran and Rasnov castles. Bran was pretty spectacular from the outside but a bit of an antic...

My last day in Vienna (Thursday) was pretty cool. I went to the Hofburg which is the previous residence of the Hapsburg Emperors and Empresses.

On Monday I pretty much lounged around and went in search of fireworks to celebrate Guy Fawkes day. I also cooked up a storm for the first time in a long time - ricotta and spina...

Dear All It has been a while since my last post so here's another long one to catch you all up on my adventures. My first day in Barcelona was last Friday and I didn't do too much since I was pretty tired from the overnight train. I went for a walk at dinner time down to La Barceloneta, which is the beachy area of the city, and had dinner of Fajitas and Mojito in an open area cafe on the beach, which was very pleasant. I intended on having a nice early night b...
