Great blog from Venice/Split, Tom.

You've probably picked it up gtom the Rough Guide, but when you get to Budapest an unusual "sight" worth going to is the House of Terror in the building that was the Gestapo HQ and then the Communist Secret Police HQ - it's about 1 km from the river.

Hi Tom
hope you get to the hostel tonight . the man was a bit puzzled by your late expected arrival . i didnt know how to say that you needed an alarm clock in Croatian to get the boat thsi am ! I hope he meets you okay . You will have to be nice to him if he stays up that late to let you in. The snaps of Croatian coast look lovely and the sea so inviting . Keep taking the sore throat pastilles and the fresh mediteranean air . mum xx
