I've gotten a couple emails asking for some more details ... so here's a bit of a run down on the past couples days!!!
Out tour group is really good .. all girls .. aussies, welsh, americans and amanda and I ... we are pretty much the average age but there are a mother and daugther (from California) ... two friends from New yorks and acouple of friends travelling together from australia and the rest are solo travellers. Everyone is super nice and most have done alot of travelling ... it's great to have such a dynamic and diverse group!!!
Budapest was lots of fun and beautiful .. we took a tour to try and get lots in since we only had one day to explore. It's really a beautiful city especially by the riiver. We meet our group on monday and than went out for dinner. Early yesterday we also went to a local bath ... so fun. They have these wicked pool areas that spin you around in a circle and we spent about and hour giggling and getting pushed around in cicrles ... the locals were wondering if we were right in the head! Yesterday afternoon, we took a train from budapest to Novi Sad in Sebia. The train trip was 7 hours and part of it on a car without any air conditioning in 30+ weather ... good times! The food and restaurants we've been going to have been great ... that's a big bonus of the tour i think... they always have a great restaurant recommendation! ... I've tried some local dishes like last night ... schnitzel type thingy stuffed with goat cheese and rolled up ... really good! We just got back from the fortress in novi sad which is pretty much just an artisan studio commune right now but was built in th 17 century.. one of the artists invited acouple of us drinks ... check him out ... www.poprzan.co.yu I think that's the best experience of the trip so far ... amazing!
Tomorrow we head to belgrade ... to sleep on a boat for two nights. can't wait. Having a blast! and slowly ... very slowly starting to forget about poo and other such things :)

oooh I am living through you girls... H - glad you like the food...sounds much better than originally thought? Hope you got pics of those pools? Hot and smoggy back here - you're not missing a thing.
budapest sounds like a good time!...if spinning around in circles in a bath, drinking with artists, and eating schnitzel won't get ya goin', what will?? EH?? ( i know even the sound of that canadian interjection tugs on your heart strings and makes you miss canada...but be strong and keep cherishin' your eastern european adventures ;)! )
enjoy belgrade and sleeping on a boat! sounds like you girls are having a blast and i can't wait to see your pics and for more blog-worthy details (and the ever-so-juicy unblog-worthy details...wink wink nudge nudge...email me!)! keep on rockin' in the free world!
