Fi-B&W

Prague

Yesterday we went to Prague for the day! Its great because it's only 1 1/2 hrs from Dresden by car :P...

It was a great day for sight seeing so we walked around the city and took soooooooo0000000000000 many pics!!!! It's a really cool city, beautiful down by the river, lots of cafes, Museums and Art Gallery's, plenty of churches, music, theres so many things to do there and plenty of ppl around to create the atmosphere!

After walking for the pretty much whole day till about 9pm, we were pretty stuffed!

I really liked the pl and would definitely go back for another visit someday!

Red Bull Air Race!

We went to the Red Bull Air Race yesterday in Budapest and it was awesome!!!!!! Watching them fly through the markers at such a fast speed was so crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter the Hungarian didnt win :( he was definitely the high light of the race, coz when he flew everyone esp the commentator was cheering him on, you couldnt help but get caught up in the excitment!!! Its definitely something I would go to again :P

Swimming in clothes!

Yesterday was a really HOT day in Hungary, well for me it was anyway! I forgot my swimmers in Germany and the water in the pool was sooooooooooooo nice I had to go in, so....I went in with my clothes on!!! The boys wouldnt join me because 26 degrees is way too cold for them, what wuss's huh? Instead they wanted me to entertain them which involved alot of bomb diving and requests to lose the top! Boys!

Atti & Fi @ Moe's

Here we are today chilling at Moe's about to join Homer and Barney for a brewsky!

Cinema size Pepsi!

Now thats a LARGE size Pepsi! This was Attila's (I ordered the sml which was more like a med size) he managed to drink the whole thing and not even have to get up and go during the movie...we had to do about 3 toilet stops from the cinema to home tho :P

Me

Me standing above Attila (and pretending to fly) while he was laying down on the grass taking shots of me from the ground.

Berlin

Yesterday we drove to Berlin. The car broke down when we got to the city and it was raining and we had to jump out of the car and push it to the side of the road!!!!!!!!

Attila managed to get it to start after wacking one of the battery connections (this is what they call the russian way of fixing things, just wack on it with something and it works again haha)

As soon as we parked the car we went and caught the train to Alexander Platz and were going to go up the Tv Tower (in the pic, smack bang center-its about 200m high and has a restaurant up there that revolves and has an amazing view apparently!) but the line up was so long so we barred that and headed to the Postdamer Platz.

The rain stopped and it started to clear up when we got to Postdamer Platz :P so we walked around and got to bits of the Berlin Wall. (the pic of me with the angry face-the side I am on there was the eastern side of Berlin)

We followed the wall till we got to Brandenburger Tor (Top middle and Middle left in pic) and then we checked out the Reichstag (Top right and Middle bottom in pic) before making our way back to Postdamer Platz.

Before we left for home we caught the Simpsons movie :P there was a film museum and an Imax theater in the Postdamer Platz so we wanted to go have a look if anything was on and there was also a cinema in there and the Simpsons happened to be showing so we went and watched it! =)

Ice cream!

Uta said we had to go to this Ice cream place in Weimar, Cafe Venezia because they have the BEST ice creams. So after Buchenwald, we went there.

Attila got the tiramisu, Uta got the yoghurt with strawberries and I got After Eight (or in Oz after dinner mint).

They were massive and we both felt a bit sickly afterwards!!!!!!!!!

Weimar

A few days ago we went to Weimar for the wk end, which is about 2 hours drive from Dresden. Attila's mum Uta, is from there so on Sat night we had dinner with the family (all of his mum's sisters, brother and their father) we had yummy bbq bratwurst :P

The next day we went to Buchenwald Concentration Camp. It was very disturbing and upsetting. Seeing some of the rooms in the crematorium sent chills up my spine as did the photos of the prisoners...

2 examples:

There was a medical room (or pretend medical rm). They would lead the prisoners into this room that looked to be a medical room where they check your sight, height or weight etc..and in the corner where they check your height, little did the prisoners know that there was a hidden rm directly behind the height measurer. The guards would place there gun through the gap where the height measurer slid up and down and shoot them as they were pretending to measure them.

Then outside the court yard of the Crematorium there were some steps that led down into another horrible room. I thought it was a gas chamber until I saw all the hooks high on the walls and read that the prisoners were strangled on the hooks.

Then the photos in the art exhibition just made the whole scene more horrific. What we think it might of been like was probably nothing to how bad it actually was in there...just un-imaginable

Markets

A few days before we left Hungary (for Germany again ) we went to some markets in Budapest. ^ This is wat it looked liked, pretty swish I say!!!

It was 3 levels so when we ended up the top last we had some yummmmmmmmmmmmmy langos!!!!!!!

Vidám Park

Yesterday we went to Vidám Park. A Fun fair or Theme park in Budapest!

It was so much fun going on all the rides, we started off with the bumper cars then watched Mariko go on some of the lil kiddies rides.

Attila and I then went off on our own for half an hr and went on the newer rollercoaster with the loop. It was Attila's first loop rollercoaster to go on so he was all excited and I was pretty excited too, I love rollercoasters!

Even the old old old rollercoaster built in 1906 was something we had to go on before we left. The photo in the top left is the track! It was still cool, even though it was sooooooooooooooooooo old and had no loop. It still had some good drops too..gotta love those good drops!
