300th POST - Budapest

To celebrate my 300th post in over a year I called on the international sell-out services of George Clooney to help me celebrate from Budapest, Hungary. Hocking cappuccino can be seen as slightly more dignified than other products, but the advert is in English in a land full of Hungarians.

As with most of the places I have been this trip there are castles.


The chain bridge is the tie that holds Buda and Pest together.


Churches are always readily abundant

and luckily for me the nightlife is good and cheap on top of it so I got to celebrate as my trip draws to an end.


No just off to Bratislava, Slovakia and then back to Birmingham.

More Nights in Brum

In the near future my life will start to pick up again in pursuit of stories from foreign land, but right now I am enjoying a little bit of time in one place both in the flat during the day and out on the town here in Birmingham during the nights.

First major event on the agenda is the 15th of March when I will be going to see a football (soccer) match between Aston Villa and Tottenham here in England... more to come

Puerto Escondido

I am exhausted of talking about bus travel now so let's focus on the beach. En Route to Acapulco I spent two glorious days in Puerto Escondido, Mexico and almost couldn't bring myself to leave. It is an amazingly backpacker friendly beach with great surf.


This is the life


I even got the chance to test out the Olympus in the ocean and got some good surf pics. Of course right after taking the pics I got crushed by the waves.


I even got some from my board.


Even on a Sunday the town has some nightlife and live music. The guy on the right has an epic mustache.


If you are backpacking through I recommend staying at the Mayflower it is an easy life there.

I came, I saw, I took a ten second video.
