Hi guys,
Me again. I'm downstairs in the Hotel Rev at Lake Balaton. It's absolutely boiling here, around 36C, and we are all sweating our tits off!
Our excellently executed exit plan from the island on Wednesday worked a treat. We all took our big bags to the car on Tuesday so all we would need to carry on Wednesday morning was our tents and overnight bags. Laura woke us up at 7am, because she was soo looking forward to getting home and having some proper food (Laura doesn't eat foreign meat, foreign water onion or cheese)
We were in the car and ready to set off at about 9am, and then we had a hankering for sausage and egg McMuffins. Once we'd found a McDonalds drive thru and communicated our order to the staff (although I got chips with mine, chips for breakfast! The heathens!) we dropped Laura off at the airport and set off for Lake Balaton, which took us about an our and a half.
Even though it said that this was a hostel on the booking sheet, it turns out it's actually a hotel. I think Gary descibed it best when he said - 'it's a shit hotel, but the best hostel we've stayed in so far!'. Although it's clean, and I have a room to myself with a double bed in (which is nice after having to sleep with every tom, dick and harry in my tent for the last week!). The only problem is that they don't have laundry here. Which was a serious problem for us because, well, everythinng we own is stinky and damp. So they very kindly opened up their laundry room for us. When we asked where the dryer was the guy said 'I don't know how to say it, but we have drying machine'. Turns out, after a lot of searching, the drying machine was a clothes horse.
Anyways, we're ready to set off now to Loobleeana, so I'm going to say goodbye. Hopefully the next hostel will have a keyboard that hasn't had a few cans of coke poured in it.
Ciao. Jegshemesh.

just for the record, i DO eat foreign cheese. that is all i ate for the 8 days i was in hungary!!!! and also, after much discussion i can tell you that there IS NOT ONION IN ENGLISH MCDONALDS HASHBROWNS- OKAY!?!?!??!?!?!
i told my dad about the birdman of hungary last night- and this morning he thought it would be HILARIOUS to recreate the scene for me.
gazski, you need to stop obsessing over the foreign norks. it is getting beyond a joke!! (just go up to her and kiss her fingers- it might be a slovenian traditon too!)
glad to hear that chris still has a moaning woman strop on- it wouldn't be the same without it! i finally feel alive again, had 13 hours kip last night and stayed in bed this morning enjoying the fact the pouring rain couldn't get at me!
looking forward to seeing you all next week- enjoy your last few days!
