Budapest

We're soaking up Budapest (there's loads of places to soak in this city), the penguins are behaving themselves and all's well with the world! Been staying at the Buda home of dear Theo, Karoly's uncle (for which heartfelt thanks to you both). The money we saved was spent in part on Hungarian grey oxen steak, which in my humble opinion is unsurpassed. Heading to Bratislava by boat on the Danube and from there to Vienna (also by boat). Bit pricey but we're anticipating the ride to be just peachy. By the way, if anybody's familiar with Bratislavan nightlife we'd be grateful for some tips. A plan to go out on the razzmatazz has been forming...
