Budapest

Celebrating five years of good times was perfectly summed up in the lands of Budapest.

Although I was suffering from the remnants of an illness, we were still ready to explore and enjoy what Hungary had to offer.

We were not disappointed by the beauty of the city, although we were somewhat perplexed by the location of our hotel and just how far from everything it seemed to be. But it was still a very stunning hotel.

And when it came to it, we were definitely not saddened by our hotels apparent out-of-the-way location when it provided us ample opportunity to visit two very interesting, very Hungarian restaurants. Traditional folk music included.

We also visited the National Gallery, because wherever we go we feel the need to embrace our inner art hoe™ and enjoy some delightful masterpieces.

Our time in Budapest was fleeting but wonderful, and I'd hope to go back there someday. Particularly as I forgot to charge my camera.

Here's a few photos (comprising mainly of me):

Barcelona

I'll start by saying, I had the best birthday, and the most glorious presents bought for me. I may not remember a huge amount from my night out, but I can say I am extremely grateful for having such great friends who are willing to look after one another (At some point I will learn I'm a tiny woman and there's a certain amount of free drinks I can handle).

But anyway. One present sort of stood out a bit. I was surprised with tickets to Barcelona.

Which is really fucking epic.

And so, this last weekend, I spent my time eating delicious food, bathing in warm sunshine and generally relaxing whilst admiring some truly amazing scenery. Barcelona is absolutely stunning. The architecture is something I would recommend everyone go see.

I had the most perfect time, and I felt very spoilt. So thank you, truly.
