Day 5

Hello again,

I'm still freezing but that's ok because I'm in Budapest. I'm here after leaving Krakow and passing through Kosice (Slovakia). Kosice is small but beautiful and suprisingly quiet. It doesn't have the big attractions but it does have the architecture and alot of promise. My reward for discovering this attractive little place was a two hour wait in the train station until the sun rose and then a three hour trek to find accomodation. My own fault I guess for not booking ahead but I didn't expect to be befriended by some local drunks!

Budapest seems fantastic but I haven't seen that much. The house of terror is quite shocking. It charts the displacement of facism with communism and how both crippled the country and killed millions. After seeing such horrors I'm hoping the sun will come out tomorrow and sparkle off the Danube.

There'll be more to come

Day One

Hello,

here is the first brief report before I go and get some food. I'm starving. It's so cold here you burn up calories faster than it snows, but the snow is beautiful. Everything has so far gone well. I've found a brilliant place that is clean and warm to stay in and I've already had a look around Krakow. The old town is fantastic and the Jewish quarter I can see is up and coming. There are already a few private galleries around there as well as the Jewish museum. The one thing that is puzzling me though is...
why does everybody walk so damn fast. I've noticed people walking around faster than Londoners (now that's fast) and can only think that they are either really cold or are being chased by something worse than I can imagine!

until next time

Spinifex closed from 20th Feb until 27th Mar.

This is just a note to warn visitors to my site that Spinifex will be closed from the 20th of Feburary until the 27th of March. The reason for this is I'm taking my annual trip to travel another part of the globe. This time I'm exploring Eastern Europe from Krakow down to Athens. As before I'll be using this blog to keep people upto date on my progress.

Kind regards
