Hey all, I'm posting from Krakow in Poland at the moment...
After venice we all went to Vienna. That was quite cool. I spent the day waqndering around the city and checking out the sights. The Hapsburgs summer palace had some qute nice gardens so I had a quick wander around them on the first afternoon there. That night we all went to an amusement park and spent a couple of hours tryin out the different rides. I have to say that the rollercoaster that had us lying down like superman was my favourite. Next day was more wandering around the city looking at some stunning architecture. I just had to have an authentic Weiner schnitzell while I was there, so stopped off at a local eatery for lunch. Later that night a few of us went out to dinner and saw an orchestra that played some of the classical pieces that were written in Vienna, seeing as it's pretty much center for all classical music.
Budapest was next, and man it was hot. Apparently it was the hottest day in the last hundred years though, so it was a bit unusual. I watched the changing of the guard up in the castle district of old Buda whic was a bit of a laugh. It seemed more a show put on for tourists than anything else, but I haven't got anything to compare it to yet. I'll let you know how it compares to Buckingham plaaces ceremony once I've seen it. The have these old tunnels and caves under the castles so I went in and had a look. Highlight of the day actually. Not only was it quite interesting, but the temperature was cold enough to see steam when you breathed! Well that brings us to today. Was a drive day that took us through Slovakia and into Poland. It's pretty warm and muggy here too. Tomorrow I'll be doing a walking tour based on Schindlers list and the jewish history of Krakow. Should be quite interesting especially since the day after we head out to Auschwitz.
Once again I can't post any photo's but yeah, I'll do a post with heaps of them once I can. Probably when I get back to the U.K.

Catch you all later
