back and everything ....

well ... we've been back now for exactly two weeks. its really strange now i think about it because i'm sitting in an office (in my new job for ibm ... i know, i know- corporate whore and everything) looking out of the window next to me and i can see the london eye and the national theatre and just two weeks ago i was in buff cro/and hungary going swimming every single day and drinking alot....

Im not going to write an online diary of what happened just yet ... though i intend to steal hannahs lil journal thing and type some of it up when i get board but i'll post some pictures of where we went.... when i bother to scan my photos in i'll post some of the classics (i.e. hannahs underwater diving shot and my personal favourite; dancing with hungarians).

we had an amazing time in hungary (budapest ... staying in pest with some random women in our room, going swimming as soon as we arrived on the island in the middle of the danube that had an operatic fountain!, going to lake balaton and swimming with the swans/lying on the pier, having a cocktail party with dodgy 'rum', getting outrageously bitten by evil mosquitos, going to the next campsite that had 3o'clock 'quiet time', going skinny dipping, having ridiculous ambitions of swimming across the gigantic lake with a dingy, nearly dying climbing up this mountain that was infested with horseflies, eating goulash, dancing like freaks to sythesised euro-pop with hungarians, baileys and dares in the cafe when it was raining, jonti and rachel and our great german 'grandparents' and then the irritating travelling day to zagreb that took literally 22 hours)

and croatia was equally amazing in different ways (getting greated by supposedly 'french' people in our youth hostle dorm at 1am, travelling to Trogir with jose songs, that amazing croatian band that ive forgotten the name of, walking for agessss to auto camp rozac and getting stuck up a hill for ages, "if u want .... " - getting offered a moon crater for a camping pitch, going to hvar, fardon startling us by jumping on me iggy and anna while we were going for a relaxing stroll round hvar town, several people getting very drunk, renting motor boats :), the fuck u incident with iggy and penny at the pizzaria, anna generally drinking loads, going to pakostane and trying to not pay for the campsite but then just paying, going to the kornati islands and being supplied with excessive amounts of alcohol from 9am including some dodgy peach snapps, marco being a racist, and those crazy drunken polish women who loved 'vino', arriving back to the tents to find a leaving present from gunes alex and jenny, the long train ride bk to budapest which involved having a birthday party for rachel and gruff slamming a door in an annoying german's face, getting bk to budapest where we got a free mini bus to our amazing youth hostel where we stayed in the 24hr bar that night playing drinking games with drunk australians including a 6ft6 tall guy called scottie, going to the amazing baths the next day and having the all nighter with that essex guy who was weirdddd ...) ah and i didnt even wana write that much.

if u werent there none of that probably means anything to u but we'll tell u about it sometime .....
i'll post some pics in another post.

ah i best get bk to doing some work ...
