Hatfield

Well, I am back in Hatfield now. the journey was very good. so many cool things we saw, and people met. I have so many pictures/things i want to post up here, so over the next week, i hope to post little groupings of things.

First, Id like to share the panoramic photographs that i took with my phone.

Ok, starting in Salisbury where Mab took us to Stone henge and some cool cathedrals, then to Bath to the roman baths, and wonderful canal walk.
















We then spent the night in London, where i had some medical issues to solve. In the morning flew to Amsterdam where we were met by Blaine and Chris, snow, cold, and excellent falafels.



An overnight bus to Berlin. Touring the city, bar crawl, and huge hostel.









Another Bus to Praha. Charles Bride, the castle and hotsel friends.







A train into Budapset. I think this may have been our favorite place, partly because of the cool hostel we stayed at, but mostly because of the nice hungarian people, fun things to do, and awesome city.





By the time we got to Poland, i think we were both pretty worn out, and a little tired of doing the whole tourist thing, so unfortunately i dont have any panoramas from Krakow or Warszawa.

more photos are soon to come.

Praha

WE had some fun times in Prague, visiting the castle and old town relics. walking along the river and ducking into Czech pubs.

WE met some really nice Swiss guys at the hostel and hung around talking with them until very early in the morning.

One of our favorite times was our sunrise spent on St. Charles Bride...a pedestrian bridge that is filled during the day with sketch artists and people selling little metal works. Well at sunrise, there was almost no one there, so we relaxed and watched the sun rise over the awesomely old building tops.

Our train ride to Budapest was six hours of productivity and fascinating scenery. WE were able to update diaries, write post cards, and enjoy the relaxing ride.

Now in Budapest, we checked into our hostel just near Green Bridge. Once we unpacked, the receptionist asked us if we would mind switching to another room. we followed her up into the rickity elevator where the double doors are manually opened, through a courtyard and into a high cealing apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. we got a major upgrade. we are now rooming with some auzzies.

WE went to a Hungarian Ballet tonight in an beautiful old Opera house. Tomorrow we are signed up to explore some caves underneath the Budapest Castle on the Buda side of town. then i guess to the famous hot spring baths.

Our tickets to Krakow leave on Friday at 6 am
