Train up to Miskolc today, we hadn’t pre booked so it was up to us what time we got there, definitely packed too much don’t like seeing dad carry the bags and he won’t let me pick it up from that silly back operation I had a while back… Anyways train station was very easy to reach from metro and we got a ticket fairly easy and very cheap to Miskolc, a pastry and coffee and sat on the train, the very warm train to the next stop. The train was pleasant a...

Well officially we all left on the 19th, from very different climates. We were still cold when we landed but oh how I have missed the fresh air!!

We had pick up at 6AM and again on time, love africa time! Jim reassured me that she had a terrible night sleep with the wind and the trees swell out the back of the building. Only a 20 mi...

Day 2 of De' bar-zanzibar… I think his name is Ruckus, the driver I mean. He's nice! And always on time (so far) no Africa time on this island! Didn't sleep very well this morning, the water seems to bash against the wall downstairs where the restaurant and beds are and at one point I am sure it rocked the hotel. We are only living in essentially a huge tree house. The drive to Stone town was around 1 hour and a little bit, still not too sure about the...
