Last night Matt, Jon and I toured that natural caves that the river created under Buda. There was a large group from our hostel and it was fun to go with other English speakers our age. Our guide was hilarious! He’s a cross between Borat and the narrator in Everything is Illuminated. He was full of funny stories and dirty jokes. At one point we were all sitting down in a small chamber and one of the guys in our group suggested that we turn off our headlamps to experience total darkness. Once we all turned our lights off and were sitting there our guide said, “In the dark, you cannot see anything,” at which we were all thinking duh. Then a couple seconds later he said, “Except my cock.” It was so random it took us all to get it.

We also got to slither through some pretty narrow openings. At one point I slipped while trying to crawl sideways through an opening using only my left hand and left foot while trying to keep my butt in the air. Needless to say my butt got a bit wedged and I felt like a beached whale trying to wiggle forward. I had the guide in front of me telling my that my bum is too big while I can see the flashes of the camera as Matt is behind me taking pictures of the very embarrassing predicament. To make matters worse I was the first person in our group to go so I also had the other ten people watching me lament my big bum. By the end of the tour we were exhausted and all slept very well last night!

Today we walked up to St. Mathias Cathedral which I took a video of me holing a golden eagle. I really liked St. Mathias Cathedral because it’s old and beautiful, but not too big. It makes sense that they still hold mass there regularly unlike at the Vatican where it feels unreal.

Matt and I spent the afternoon in the turkish bathes, which was an adventure just trying to figure out what we were supposed to do. Nobody speaks English that great and the workers there are super rude! The bathes were neat though and definitely worth visiting. All the tile work and plumbing is from when they were originally built by the Turks when they invaded the area hundreds of years ago.

Tomorrow we are off to Salzburg. Not what kind of trouble we are going to rouse on our drive through the Alps. It should be good!
