Budapest Zoo

It was another nice hot day so yesterday we went to the Budapest Zoo! It was cool seeing all the animals esp when you have a little one with you (Mariko)...

My fave animal was the little monkey, he was an entertaining little fella! We were still inside an enclosure but there was no cage between the lil dude and the ppl!

The Blacktail prairie dog's were really cute too!!!

Hot day, Cold swim

It was also sooooooooooo hot on Saturday that it called for a swim! After Ikea we came hm and jumped straight in the pool! We ate our ice creams in there too =) Attila also had his brewsky while floating in his blow up chair.

Mariko

The second day in Hungary we went to Ikea to get some mosquito nets!!!

We went and had some lunch at their little cafe there and Attila's little cute cousin Mariko had a drink fest and drank about 4 cups of juice (not bad for a little 2 1/2 yr old)...we kept giving her more straws to drink out of and Attila got the camera out just as it was dripping everywhere :P

Wien (Vienna)

We didnt take that many pictures when we got to Wien! We were there for one night and one day and walked around for most of the day looking at sights in the city (with in the ring)

We made the time to go to the famous Hotel Sacher, where they make the worlds famous Sachertorte!

I am the biggest fan of chocolate and chocolate cake so I had high expectations and unfortunately I didnt like it. It had a strange taste to me, it was real tangy and I thought it would be like a rich moist chocolate mud cake :( ohwell at least I can say I tried it..

It wasnt cheap though, we ordered 2 sachertorte, 1 chocolate shake and a hot chocolate and it came to about Au $30. I dont think it will be something I will have again...

Neuschwanstein Panorama

Another photo of Neuschwanstein and the beautiful panorama view from Neuschwanstein that Attila captured.

It really looks like something from a fairy tale doesnt it? No wonder they used it in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and as inspiration for Walt Disneys Cinderella Castle :P

Aussie Bars

We also came across a Ned Kelly Australian Bar in Munich!!!!

It's so funny to come across them, we've seen a few Australian Bars in Germany already.

The bar was full of Oz memorabilia, even the coasters had koalas and kangaroos on them AND they even had a few Aussie beers (VB, Carlton Cold, Crown Lager, Fosters) Attila was so ready for his VB, but they ran out!!!! He was devo and had to settle for a Carlton Cold.

It was a great little place, made me think of hm and feel proud to be an Aussie :P

Munich

After Sweiz we went back to Munich and stayed there for a few days with Attila's buddy Marcus. He took us to a few places in the city during the time we were there...

We went to a big beer garden (where I'm holding the massive jug of beer and pretending it's mine :P) we stayed there and chilled for an hour or two listening to the band and then catching up with Mike who studied at SAE with Attila.

We also climbed up the famous "Old Peter" church (the pic where we look like we could be in a cage, top right and the two nxt to that one!) I was SO out of breath climbing all those steps and then when we got to the top I was a bit freaked out as it was about 90 meters high, u stepped outside and it was just a ledge that went out and around the church and had that cage like bar around it. The boys didnt know how freaked out I was!!

We caught an english movie (I think they show these in germany once a day) as one of the days there was rainy and miserable.

Then the rest of the time we ate and ate and ate =) had to try some traditional Bavarian food! I'll say it again and again, these Germans know how to cook and I'll definitely miss their food when we return home :P
