whole again

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

so back in the uk, missing budapest.

the night before, i met jackie, bobby and leslie, and we went with the aussies to deak ter for a couple of beers. it’s worrying how some many young giurls easily look mid twenties, best to nt talk to girls, nahhh.

all evening we were entertained with lightening all around us, with pre storm winds, but no rain, which was lovely. the best part of the storm, minus the wet stuff is great outside in the park. so the aussies and  headed off to szimpla. we arrived just in time before the rain, and had a long pint.

it was interesting that we came upon long in depth spiritual conversations, when the previous night none of us probably thought the others were even of such thoughts.

so the thought not necessary now, doesn’t mean that the same will be in the future thought.

so to yesterday morning and tired again i went to the dentist. this timeall went well, lots of chatting, no pain, a bit of dental cement, and i have a new tooth, so all my pearlies look great! (must remember to floss, and not eat trees!!!)

having seen a biker being squished between 2 german cars kinda puts a damper on my ideas of learning to ride a motorbike.

i had a great time couch surfing this past weekend, all in all staying in four places over 5 days, tiring, but great to meet some great people, and just have fun with others, travlling is wonderful :)

so i flew back, read the newspaper, boring, a car magazine, expensive and unproductive, but had some good music to listen to. wizzair isn’t a bad airline, pretty basic, but not unpleasant like ryanair!

i had a few pints with alan in downtown cambridge, watching posh chavs abuse the punting kids, ate burritos, mmm, and loving the cider.

so today we visited the garage to see my car. it’s in bits, but the guy says wont cost too much to fix. however it wont be ready before monday. so time to chill here at dad’s and get things done.

off to gym with alan now.

i will miss budapest. it was great, beatiful girls, fun parties, cool bars and parks, so sunny. well the sun just makes life so nice, it’s a shame living in the uk people don’t get enough sun, as it makes such a great difference to the happiness you have in life. maybe some pictures later

Can’t touch this – it’s too bloody hot!

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Kinda uneventful. I had a couple of cockails with agota n co. Then stayed up chatting with Aussies until too late.
I’ve been to the dentist today, the tooth fitted great but is a shade too light, so it’s off to be altered and fitted tomorrow.
I climbed up a dizzying height to view the city from st. Stephens basalica, and had a great veg lunch in buda at Eden.
Now I’m laying on the embankment o the island in te Danube. The ground is so hot I am literally cooking. I have to keep moving in order to stay comfortable.
On to the second bottle of water this hour.
Yours truely, sweating buckets.

Disappearing act

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

I have scratches all over my arms from play fighting with leslie’s young pitbull. The little beast is lightening fast, I smacked her on the bum and her teeth were around my hand before I could even move. The pair are lovely and cute. Oh and I’ve never seen a dog jump it’s whole body up to human head level. Scary!
So last night I stayed in the hostel, nobody there came out, too hungover. So I met agota and our group grew to maybe fifteen. The shop had no gold beers so we sat and drank beer with a classical concert beside us in deak square. We headed off to corvinteto and I think I wandered off home due to being a bit drunk. So another day feeling a bit rough.
I happened upon a great little underground restaurant earlier, Nepalese. I had some paneer naan and a curry, wonderful.
Since then i’ve been walking, and now I’m up on Buda hill, with a view over all of Pest and the Danube.
A chilled night is in order I think.
I’ve just noticed something missing from this skyline, an abundance of cranes. Any other capital city is usually overrun by construction, but it doesn’t look like that here.

Park life

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

I’ve been trying to sleep in the shade in the park, but the shade is moving too fast and just as I pass out of consciousness the sun falls on my body, roasting me. I give up.
Yesterday I had a curry by oktogon after my walk around the big park. I had a lie on margit sziget island.
After I caught up with bobby, we saw an environmental, futuristic park. Then we had some beers and chats in a park, I can’t find the name on the map. It was fun, there was even a bum diving and swimming in the 30cm deep water.
Later, leslie, bobby and I went down to A38 the club boat. Quite an experience, many young people. And I woke up on the other side of time.
So today bobby admitted to me that I wad taken in for just two days in case I was too much of a wierdo. Pre judgements based upon my couchsurfing photo. I have to change my photo as this is obviously affecting peoples decision on whether to ahve me. Well he liked me and offered for me to stay longer, however he has two French girls, and I’d already booked to stay at the suite hostel, so I’m booked into the hostel. But I’ll stay with leslie, or maybe a Dutch girl after tonight.
So now I’m waiting to feel better free last night. Humous hasn’t helped. Two litres of pineapple juice hasn’t helped. Sleeping in the park hasn’t helped. Maybe some booze will, but I’ll wait til later for that.
And I lost a phone. The new phone I bought three days ago. At least it only cost me £25, but I’m now without my normal phone number. Oops!
