Right, the pics are in, (there are a couple more in my folder) so let me tell you about my little holiday. 
For 5 days we lived up in the mountains of Buda.
If you want to know what the city looks like, let me show you.
The weather was very hot and we were most content. There was cake to eat and lattes sprinkled with cinnamon.
There were spas to swim in, where old men sit in rows along benches, with round bellies so over-tanned they look like basted chickens lined up on a spit.
Hee hee, if you look closely you can see the reflection of the camera in the glass through which this photo was taken.
We went wine tasting. The House of Hungarian Wines is quite seriously just an enormous wine cellar in which they let you loose, unsupervised, for a whole two hours. Imagine! There were white wines as plastic as molten My Little Ponies, yet others as bright and crisp as January frost. I look as rough as ever a bear could in this picture, but check out all the wine behind me!!!
We did cultural things too, and saw some astonishing 19th Century portraits at the National Gallery, and some shite paintings at the Museum of Fine Art. We also went exploring the castles labyrinth, which on reflection was probably a stupid-munt thing to do, given that Im a bit claustrophobic and very scared of the dark.
This is at the Szobar Park, full of old Communist Statues.
The Hungarians arent keen on Commies. Although the security dudes at the airport are a Stalinist throwback, the cunts stopped us on the way into the country and had us take every single item out of all our bags, opening boxes of tampons and jars of eyeshadow to check they were what they seemed. Their disappointment at not finding anything was quite tangible.
By way of contrast, we had to stop off at Schipol each way, and the Dutch dont disappoint when it comes to their measures. This is a genuine, undoctored, single shot of vodka. Amsterdam, I bow to you.

it means a lot that you made me one of your favorites!! i hope i stay there a while.. don't be a stranger.
Dude, I don't remember shots of water with coffee & cake (though it's a good idea) - where was this? So I've gotta think either:
(i) You LIE, you booze hound!!!
(ii) You look like lightweight who needs to water down the coffee
(iii) We'd ordered some cold juicy/watery drinks as well as our coffee & cake, so didn't get water shots.
(iv) I've forgotted.
None of the last 3 seem all that likely when you say them out loud though.
Chupta for next 6 weekends btw? Visit to parentals imminent? (Pa's day?) Wanna come visit & go punting, feasting, Ghost Walking, 'n' schnizz in late June/early July?
