After spending a day in the hell hole which is Luton (no offense Luton...For those who have never had the pleasure its basically a concrete block filled with old men . It wasn't to awful though as we did go for some cocktails at Yeates then to see Drag me To Hell which is a fantastic film. Go see it ! ) we finally got back to Budapest.
It was just as we left the place except this time there was only the 2 of us.
We were at the Backpackers Hostel in the same room. There is a new staff member whose job appears to be to lounge around the hostel in a toga all day doing yoga.
We went back to the thermal baths but this time in the evening so all the lights were on outside and it all looked very pretty and then onto the restaurant we had went for my birthday and had the hugest plate of Goulash I have ever seen in my life.
Me and Jenny a the day exploring the Jewish quarter and had this loud extremely Jewish tourguide (Picture this - in a beautiful synagogue and all you can see is this little bald man in sunglasses walking round shouting at folks in hebrew then speaking english in a thick new york accent). He was impressed at our one word we knew in Hebrew "Shalolm" so now we are nicknamed the shalolm girls...
That night at dinner we bumped into him in the restaurant ("Shalolm girls"...errr "tour guide") and it actually felt like we had a local friend ha ha
On the saturday we wallowed in the dark because it was rediculously hot outside, unfortunatly the dark happened to be of a Holocaust museum. It was a brilliant museum though, all audio visual with tons of imformation and I managed to get in for free because of my handy student discount card (gutted that it expires in July).
I also attended the opera (and I didnt even get bored and listen to my ipod!) It was a Verdi opera (with a name i have forgotten) about Scicilly and France and revolutions and secrets it was all suprisingly exciting. We managed to get our tickers for under 5 quid as well. However me and Jenny have decided not to go to another opera until we can afford a box, and a designer dress and those little binoculars on sticks that people seem to use...That could be some time). Also before the opera we bumped into the Jewish tourguide again... I think he is stalking us.
We decided to leave Budapest before it sucked us in and kept us there forever so hopped on a train to Ljubljana in Slovenia.
It was a 9 hour train ride. Passed the time by reading, staring out the window (then once reaching Slovenia hanging out the wondow with a camera taking pictures of all the gorgeous scenery) then eventually me and Jenny had a rave in our cabin to the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.
Once we arrived on Ljubljana we found out there were no hostel rooms available anywhere (panic) however after some time wandering out the city at 10 at night with our back packs we found a lovely little hostel that took us in.
Ljubljana is incredibly pretty however there isnt much to do here. We have explored the castle and walked round parks. Spent this morning walking along the river looking at an antique market and eating ice cream.Like most european capitals you will find lots of scaffolding and building work)
We went for a milshake at a riverside cafe where a mad waiter served us... All he could really say in English was "I love you" and after asking us where we were from he replied with "I love you... Ahh England, David Beckham ... I love you"... I would havse said the Isle Of Man but people get confused.
We are off out now to a traditional slovenian restaurant then to this bar covered in hanging skeletons to drink cocktails (should be interesting).
