And now we come to the last leg of our trip.
Budapest is a beautiful city. If only we knew anything about it. It’s not that our tour guide didn’t educate us about it. She did. Or at least she tried. God Bless her, did she ever try.
Unfortunately for her, we were well aware that we were on our last 48 hours before going back home so all we wanted to do was take pictures and goof around.
This set also includes some pics taken at the Dubai airport where we spent the next 10 hours doing nothing but walk around aimlessly, defile some bathrooms, and dealing with some rude tourists.
It was an awesome awesome trip, but it’s good to be back home where water is free, you don’t have to pay to use a public restroom, and most people can speak and understand English. Also, clean underwear! Yay!

The second to the last stop in our tour finds us in Cracow.
Here we find more buildings and churches. Still awesome, but nothing we’ve never seen before.
The real highlight of this stop is our visit to the Wieliczka Salt Mine; a sprawling web of tunnels that goes as far as 327 meters below the surface, and is 300 km long.
Our tour only brought us as far down as 130 meters, but if you’re a bit claustrophobic like me, you probably wouldn’t feel very comfortable traversing down the long dark tunnels. You’d also be unacquainted with physical activity. And are fat.
130 meters. That’s almost like walking as many kilometers. Because really, the only difference between meters and kilometers is a couple of zeroes. So if you’ve walked for 130 meters, just walk the equivalent of a couple of zeroes more, and you’d have traveled 1300 meters, or 130 kilometers! WOW! Just be careful not to walk backwards though because you might step on a decimal point.
