sorry mum! cant do photos though so youll have to live without for now. will show you them all when i get back. have been keeping busy whilst here so have not had much time to update. went to auschwitz which was pretty cool but didnt have as much of an impact as id have thought. spent yesterday wndering round town and seeing the sights - went to the castle and to a thing called dragons lair (took us over an hour to find it and then it was a bit of a dissapointment but never mind! had a drink last night in the hostel and learnt a new card game (which i will teach you all when i get back!) from some lads were rooming with. after we went to a local club which was ok, but unfortunately they were playing flares music! thought id be able to escape it over here! have checked out of the hostel at lunchtime and are now hanging around til tonight when were catching the night train across to budapest. arrive in budapest first thing in the morning! just about to go out go- karting so am gonna get off now. will upddate at next available oppotunity!
