Hey everyone..
We've made it to Croatia (split) and are very happy to be here. The weather is a very welcomed change, being that it is kinda cool and hot at the same time.. walking through the streets is awesome because you're always in the shade and there is lots to see.
We wanted to post some of the pictures that we got from our two days in Hungary, but unfortunately, the computers here have no accessability to the main drives and I cant access my camera to load them up. Hopefully we'll be able to find a place that will allow it. Amazing considering that for an hour of usage it's a whopping 5$. Sick. Also sick is the price of accomodation here. I was very shocked to hear that everywhere here in Split town is 300KN (almost 60$) for both Maria and I to bunk per night. Disgusting really, not sick. I imagine its this way simply because the town is bustling day and night with tourists from alllll over. Even haggling with any of the guest house owners hasn't eally gotten me very far.. apparently me being a croat doesn't entitile me to any special pricing. Maybe it did in the past, but not when they have toursists happily paying top-dollar.
Other than that though, we're so happy that we made it here and that we're on the last leg of our long journey. Hungary was absolutely amazing. The pictures we have speak volumes and I won't even begin to describe the fabulous 36 hours we had there. It is easily the most beautiful city that we've seen so far on this trip, and we simply have to find our way back to see it again.
Anyways, that's my two bits on the sitch.. and here's mia's.. MOM WHAT'S YOUR #!!!!!!!!!! k bye

WOW is the best word to describe Budapest. It is BY FAR the most beautiful place i've ever seen in my life. The architecture is breathtaking. Everything about it is amazing. Let me tell you about our day there...

We arrived in Budapest at 6 am local time and lugged our massive amounts of luggage (we've accumulated too much, its good that were going home soon) onto the bus and metro to get downtown Budapest. We walked off of the metro exhausted and looked up into the back of one of the many beautiful cathedrals sprawled around the city. Breathtaking...
What was also breathtaking was the stupid amount of hours we walked around the city trying to find accomodation because we took a wrong turn. But finally we found a very central place, quite cozy (and too overpriced) but good. We took an hour nap and decided a bus tour would be the easiest and fastest way to see all the city has to offer and give us a tease of what we can do next .(Vlads great idea)
We were just astonished at how beautiful the place was. So by this time it was around 4.30pm and I really wanted to go and visit a thermal bath house. ( something told me i should insist)
Wow are we really glad we went. We arrived at 5pm and had two hours to just relax. The bath house was built by the Turks during their occupation of Hungary (cant remember exactly when) but they are beautiful. The 9 separate pools have differing temperatures from 18 degrees to 39 degrees. You are surrounded by huge stone columns and thats just inside. There is also a huge outdoor pool with statues doubling as fountains everywhere. The courtyard (which is what the pool is basically) is painted a bright yellow and the sun decided to come out for our adventure to the baths. The most exhilarating part of the experience was when you go from a 39 degree bath into one that is as cold as a bathtub filled with ICE WATER.. IT was brilliant. Imagine your skin coming to life with little prickles everywhere. It was such an adrenaline rush.. well never forget that...

So to top off our wonderful day in Budapest, we had a brilliant dinner at a restaurant on this popular street filled with other restaurants. (we will post a picture of our meal at a furthur date)

We had a nice sleep in finally cool weather (what a treat) and the next day we found our way to the museum of terror. Quite possibly the most interesting and detailed museum weve ever seen. They did a fantastic job on it. The museum is dedicated to everything about WWII .. The Soviet and Nazi Occupation and everything about them. They even had a base ment where they recreated the torture and holding cells. It was very real, and EXTREMELY interesting to see what the people had suffered. Plus the pictures of all of the devastation to their bridges and buildings... quite something.

Anyways, we had an amazing time there, never forget it!!So were in beautiful Split and its nice to have Vlad speaking the same language, although it kind of sucks that we dont get any special rates to rooms etc because Vlad speaks the language, but its nice nonetheless. The people are very nice and its cool to hear another language once again. Its unfortunate that its not as inexpensive as we first thought.
Love everyone. Keep in touch...
