And tomorrow we're leaving..
Lake Balaton is beautiful, apparently the biggest inland lake in Europe, and the sunsets are incredible. They go well with the music, streaming from four five places at once. The crowd is most part hungarian which sometimes makes conversation hard - my hungarian not being anything I'm too proud of.. and the hungarians seemingly being afraid of speaking english. A shame, but we've come across a bunch of nice people anyway.
The sun is shining with a untiring strength and just small puffs of clouds can be seen here and there in the sky. The tent is HOT but the lounge nice and cool. And should that too get too hot, then - like I said - the lake is just at our feet.
Vanessa and I are going to continue not doing much until tonight when there are some acts we want to see. Among them David Guetta at 2 AM.. And tomorrow we're leaving for Budapest to spend a few days in the capital.
Am sitting in a lounge, listening to some dj playing nice afternoon sun music. It's a bit too loud for conversation, but who needs conversation when you can just chill out, watching glorious lake Balaton - it's shore line just a few meters away. Apparently the festival is sold out, 120 000 tickets, and the party is on till late into the night. Vanessa, waking up at 4.30 last night, said that the music was still going strong at that time. We'd succumbed to our tiredness and crawled into bed (well, into tent and hammock respectively..) a few hours before that, after watching an amazing concert with Massive Attack, unbelievable. (I can't seem to find an exclamation mark on this keyboard, so you'll have to imagine them at the proper places...) We watched Swedish Koop from the loung at the back of the stage, having danced too much to Massive Attack to be able to stand up anymore. Later we could hear the remaining acts from the camping place, no need to fight your way to the front... The camping place is hard to miss, with tents so close to each other it's hard to find your own tent, a tip is to find a tree or some other reference point, or else you'll be lost - especially at night. And watch out for all the strings and pins in the ground, it can be a mine field in the dark (and with a few beers in the system..)
I met these three really...
I met these three really nice american girls that i hang out with for a couple of days, we went site seeing to this really old castle, and saw a torture chamber and all the old armour and weaponary that they used to wear which was pretty cool.
Karina and i met really nice couple staying at the hostel (Mike and Kelly) who were sort of going in the same direction as us so now we are travelling with them for a couple of weeks. After Prague we went to Bratislava which is in Slovakia, did not find a whole heap to do there but we did find this really cool night club that was set up in an old underground sewerage tunnel, it was suprisingly big.
Mike also knew a guy that was having his bucks night in Bratislava so we went out with them to a few pubs, clubs and strip clubs (sorry mum) and had a blast.
I think that is all i have for now, will do my best to keep you updated. Mike tried to help me put up pics on his lap top but even he could not figure it out, but he did know how to put them up on face book so go there and check them out.
It has been a while since our last update, some of the hostels dont have the internet.
Any way We are in Budapest at the moment, just arrived yesterday and the weather is pretty crap, has not stopped raining.
After we were in Vienna we traveled to Prague and stayed at a hostel called Marabou. Not a bad little place to stay, all the people we met there were awsome. I met these two guys named ed and ed who were really really funny, we would just sit back with a few beers and crack jokes at each other till four in the mourning every night. Then the next day me and the two eddies would venture on into town with a football and find a park where we would kick it back and fourth until these guys in suits (they looked like they were apart of the russian mafia) would come over and tell us to move on. I think they got sick of us kicking the football into their cars.
