More Hvar.

Hvar From Above.

Jealous?

While it was snowing in Saskatoon, I was enjoying perfect weather on the island of Hvar. Jealous much?

The last few photos have been dark...sorry mates.

Promenade Prancing.

High Above Split.

Old Times.

The Old Palace from Roman times in Split.

Croat Origami!

I noticed this on a tram in Zagreb. I automatically thought of JMC.

Hrvatska!

The less than luxurious railway station in Zagreb, Croatia...and the ever-present red boots.

Au Revoir, Mon Amie.

Meandering.

Walking through the Old Jewish quarter in Prague.

Praha.

Prague - pork knuckles, Italian tourists, and couples publicly grouping each other.....oh yes, and shitty street musicians. That basically somes up prague and the fact that it's overun by tourists.

JJ and I rented an apartment for our stay for basically the same price as a hostel....thanks to some awesome bargaining. We explored the city, I got sick and spent too much money. We were both buying scarfs and I attempted to haggle to get a better deal for us. The store owner agreed to drop the price by 50K in exchange for a kiss on the cheek. As I walked away, I realized that I just sold myself for the equivalent of $2.50......shudder.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about the most awkward scene I've ever witnessed. We were having lunch in this little cute bistro, sitting outside next to a family. The dad got up to leave and went to give his 20-something daughter a kiss goodbye. That kiss continued for almost 5 minutes....on the mouth. Each kiss lasted up to 10 seconds, I think the sound was the worst part. Jen's face was of pure horror, and I childishly giggled. It was quite disgusting.

Thoroughly disgusted after watching the father-daughter make-out session....vomit.

Railway Accessibility.

The Czech answer to wheelchair accessibility - tres steep death ramps.

Bone Chillin'.

Creepy church decorated with human bones in Kutna Hora.

Pastries.

We went to Tesco for groceries.....the bread and cheese selection was heavenly. We have to stop at every bakery...nothing is necessarily purchased, but everything is ogled.

X-Large, eh?

This one's for Zak.

Prettiness.

I LOVED the stained glass windows in St. Vitus Cathedral (part of Prague Castle). Very vibrant and different than other ones I've seen so far....le sigh.

St. Vitus Cathedral.

Yes, I'm posting a photo of a church. Boooring, but we're in Europe and that just can't be avoided (plus they're usually old and pretty)....and, I really liked this one.

Mini Photog!

Gosh darn cute (and you know my dislike for little rugrats).

Bird's Eye View.

Tiny Winy.

The world's smallest sandwhich. I wish that I had a photo of my sandwhich next to it in comparison....it would be like 5x the size.

The Ramones?

Nope. Just young Italian tourists.

Memoirs of a Geisha.

European Priorities.

Check out the prices of alcoholic vs. non alcoholic drinks.

Praha!

aka Prague.

More Nom Noms

Breakfast at Cafe Alibi.

Chess.

Saggy old men playing chess in the Szechenyi Baths.

Szechenyi Baths.

Old School.

Budapest has the second oldest undergound metro system in the world...you can tell.

The 3000th Door.

Jen loves her doors. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've taken about a dozen photos of Jen +door.

No Escape.

Good to know they're everywhere, crossing all cultural boundaries.

Clothing Explosion!

My bag threw up its contents all over Milly's floor. Sorry pal, and thanks again for the hospitality.

More Statues.

I can't remember the name or the significance of this statue....but I posed infront of it.

Forgotten Streets.

Run down building with bullet holes in a random side street.

Balls!

Superstition trumps conservation in Hungary - you're allowed to climb any statue and touch it for luck. Fondling the large testicles of this horse brings you good luck....in bed.

Curses, Iceland!

As a result of all the grounded flights, people were attempting to get home via rail. It took us almost 4 hours to get our train tickets to Prague.

Milly!

Thanks to our gracious host, Milly. Sorry for uprooting you from your apartment during exam time. Koszonom!

Wieners!

Word Up.

Some parts of Budapest were beautiful and others.....quite shabby-licious.

Leggy Leggy Leggy Blonde...I mean Asian!

Artsy Fartsy.

We checked out the exhibition behind me. It was pretty cool, loved the Van Gough that was in it (had never seen it before). Unfortunately, we couldn't take photos inside, so that's all you get!

Heroes Square.

'Tis a Small World.

So we asked a random guy on the street to take a photo of the two of us. The first photo he took, he said that I looked bad in it so he took another one, but both photos had the camera strap in them....We randomly ended up bumping into him later that night at a pub. His name was Phil and he was from Manchester. We scolded him for his poor photography skills.

North American Invasion.

There's a Burger King around every corner in Budapest.

Flowers and....Feather Boas?

Logical combination?

Trash Day.

Twice a year Hungarians can leave their household trash on the street to be picked up/scavenged through. It was laundry day for us, which happens a bit more frequently, but check out my sweet, sexy outfit as a result.

Take a number.

So we lined up for half an hour at the bank after taking a number, only to be told that we should have pressed #7 instead of option #1.....but, of course.

Nudity Continues.

Day numero dos in Budapest started with a climb up to Buda's citadel where the Lady of Liberty statue is. We mainly wanted to go up there because it has the best views of the city (our city guide had told us). So, three quarters of the way up it starts to rain down on us tres heavily, and then this random man suddenly appeared from behind some bushes. Initially, I thought that he had probably just finished peeing and was doing up his zipper...NEIN! It took a few seconds to notice, but he was definitely hanging out, and....uhm, enjoying himself. Jen, afraid, doubled up her speed and scurried up the steps. I was too tired, and started laughing as I slowly continued to trudge along. Jen was disgusted at me and the fact that I just continued to stroll along.

The afternoon continued with semi-nudity. We went to the famous Szechenyi Baths, and apparently the name of the game is speedos. Usually men over 65 in speedos, yum. The baths were amazing and relaxing, except for the massages that we had...not that enjoyable.

Lady of Liberty at the top, she has a different meaning for Jen and I! Also, you can see a cave church at the bottom.

Wiener? I Thought We Were in Budapest?

This is a statue erected by the Soviets to commemorate the unification of Buda and Pest. Notice the turban head on top, well the Turks did inhabit Budapest numerous times throughout history, but weren't involved in the unification. So, the Hungarian saying is that the soviets were either really stupid or had a great sense of humour!
