Vienna

28 Aug, 2005  Travel

Hey All…

Partied my bum off in Budapest 2 nights ago, got hammered on Absinth, man that stuff is AWESOME! It’s only like 80% alcohol. It is banned in most countries as it has hallucinagenic qualities. I did’nt notice anything myself… Just danced with a few sheep and kangaroos singing Kumbayah in a river minced meat with a backdrop of the back of the Sistine chapel depicting the last judgement under a sky of marshmellows… perfectly normal really. It was a good night and my first night out in 2 weeks. I have enjoyed slowing down a little.

In my ‘home’ town of Vienna now, just had a Sacher coffee & a Sacher Torte in the Sacher hotel.. very nice. The coffee is worth the €7! Austria Rocks… But I must admit though a couple of us headed to an Aussie Pub last night, had coopers and a very nice roo… Vienna is excellent, so much history, monuments etc. Have been learning alot about the Austrian & Hungarian relationship signified by the two headed eagles which can be seen all over Hungary & Austria.

Our campsite here is one of the best we have had… Very clean facilities and we can even flush the loo paper here… bloody luxury!

Today we have a free day to do what ever we like so I’m gonna check out Schbrunn Palace (I think that’s how it’s spelt) which is very impressive apparently. Tonight we are heading to Prater for some rides & and we have been tempted to try ’schturm’ which is wine 2 weeks before it becomes wine so it tastes like grape juice but is apparently potent as hell. Pete, the Tour Manager advised that us that we should only have 1/2 a bottle each… So the challenge has been set!

I’m finally getting over the Contiki bug, but unfortunately more people are getting sick. This thing has mutated on the bus, gonna need a preist to get rid of this thing I reckon! Hopefully people will be getting better really soon as we hit Prague in 2 days!!

Keep those emails coming guys!!
