January 2008
Last Updated: 21/03/08
We saw the New Year in in London - the evening was spent at Flick and Lew's fab house party! Then we walked up primrose hill to watch the fireworks across the city, which were absolutely stunning! This was definitely one of the best new year's we've had! I hope it bodes well for the rest of the year!
Later on in January, in need of a holiday (well, we hadn't been away for... um... 2 months, if you don't include the Cotswolds trip over Christmas), we headed to Budapest! We stayed on a boat on the Danube, and the weather was gorgeous! After investigating all the public transport we could find, exploring to our hearts' content, drinking lots of coffee, beer, wine and Unicum, we headed to the wonderful Turkish baths for a relaxing afternoon - bliss!

Tom, looking much happier about the local tipple.
Warning: The photos get a lot worse, as we become more Unicum-fuelled*
*and yes, we did buy a bottle to bring home |

Tom takes another sip |
|
We both preferred Unicum Next compared to the Original Unicum |
|
|
|
Mmmm! |
|
Pfffffffffff!
(I think the shot glass was empty at this point... that would explain the expression!) |

Tom tries to blend in |
|
Um...
... he says it was totally innocent... |
|
|
|
...yeeees |
|
The weather started to turn bad on our last afternoon, so we headed to the spa attached to the Gellert Hotel - it was fabulous!!
(you can tell how cold it was by the look on Tom's face!) |
