Went paragliding at 9, was incredible!!!! Met Avi my guide and got the cable car up mountain to 1700 metres. Had the briefest safety spiel and got clipped into the harness. Was told to just keep running towards the edge of the mountain and the wind would pick us up before we reached it. Don't know what's happened to me but wasn't at all scared, was thinking I'd get there and panic. After 6 steps was in the air so tucked my airbag under my bum as instructed and re...

Bus at 8. Ended up waiting 25 mins for really drunk girl, she stank the bus out with alcohol as she boarded. Found it vaguely amusing but people that cant look out for themselves are starting to annoy me, really not that hard!! Bus ride much quicker than I thought and arrived in St Johann about 10 30. Had an excellent bbq fry up, hostel owner cooked it out the front of the hostel on bus arrival days. Checked into the Bunny's Pub hostel and realised that all the p...

Went to the back of the mansion first and saw the terrace and the lake where the children fall in from the boat. Then dro...

Checked in and got a room with Jenny (Budapest). Went out in search of lunch and went a long way out of our way finding somewhere only to come back to the first place. Got a really good pizza and ...

Met Adelena at 10 in her room and couldn't see the boys so went into town. Got a metro card as feeling lazy. Went to the old part of town again. Saw the parliament building (thru construction work) and the Rathaus. Tour guide recommended a tram ride around the 'ring road'. Not like a city one at home, is where all the old and beautiful buildings are. Sat all the way round feeling a little silly but didn't really care! Had some lunch and meandered into the city. F...
