One week in...

Have been rubbish at keeping this updated, been too busy exploring various european cities to find Internet cafes.

Have been keeping a logbook but have left that in the truck so I'll see what I can remember...

Been camping all the time, first night in a hotel tomorrow in somewhere beginning with S in Hungary where Dracula lived (or still lives?).

Prague was great, had 3 nights there. Thought it was very tacky and touristy to start with but the second day I wandered off and found some much nicer parts. Went up a tower to see the view, had an ice cream and got lost in the sunshine. Had a flaming absinthe in the evening, I think I can still taste it now...

Long day in the truck yesterday to get into Hungary, (had a McFlurry as we came in!), whizzed through Slovenia which looked much the same as CZ and Hungary really, lots of wind farms. Set tents up in the rain then had a noisy night drinking in the truck and finding out all sorts of gossip from various people... Got up stupidly early this morning to see Budapest - wandered a bit to find some caves/sewers but they were closed so we continued to a thermal baths place and spent 3 or so hours floating about in lovely hot water. 36 degrees was about right, but the best was outside where you could sit in the rain and get battered by hot water jets!

Not got round to sorting any photos out yet so for now have a look at http://odysseyoverland.blogspot.com/ as they've got a few pictures up now. Hopefully I'll have time to sort some out on the truck tomorrow and remember what else we've been up to...
