Budapest

Interesting architecture here - since meeting Lee I'm much more aware of carved stone - and how long it would have taken to make many of the facades and monuments!

Zagreb

Zagreb was an interesting city - a great size to wander around. Croatian people are quite friendly too!

Dubrovnik

Ahh sun, blue sparkling beaches and old fortifications! An interesting place, although took quite some effort to be social as I was staying at a hotel (and paying too much for it too!). Most photos are self explanatory... the misc photo has pics of water polo in the harbour, the traditional dancers that I saw, and the view Ivana and I had from the rocks outside the Lazaretti club we were at!

Prague

I felt like I needed to learn more about architecture after leaving here. I saw buildings exhibiting just about every style there was! The cathedral was stunning! ... well it had better be after it took them a few hundred years to finish!

Me with Ola and Jan outside the (contraversial) fountain on the Rynek.

Krakow

Back in Krakow, the only place I revisited. The jazz was good, although I spent more time talking to the people that I'd met! Not so many pics this time.

Random Snaps

Reflections are interesting (from Prague)... and I thought the symmetry of 10 drinks on the bar was quite kewl (from Krakow)... perhaps it's just me ;-p

Hi Sam,
After our talk last night I thought I'd have a look at your website and you sure have been busy. Great photos.

I loved seeing Gran and Pop's wedding invitation, wasn't it beautiful.

I will put some more photos on my blog soon.

Love from Mum
