Crapping on a yak.....overland to the other side of the world and the rest

This is the story of my 32 week London to Sydney overland trip on a big orange truck with 30 odd other people.....and what happens after.. I try to find the best pizza in the world. I test the limits of endurance of my T-shirts in the hunt for the most bizarre location in which to bump into a fellow fan of the band 'The Fall'. Slightly more successfully, I try to take a guitar to as many of the world's monuments as I can. Finally, I confront the greatest cultural divide of them all...toilets.

Day 8 Budapest - 09 August 2009 Budapest

I wonder around Budapest with a group of 8 or 9 of us. John has a peg leg from a bug bite and buys himself a cane with a bell and a flask holder.

After lunch, Dave, Meg - also an Architecture graduate, spiky hair, 6’0”, so will probably get lots of looks when we get into Asia - and I go off to ‘Memento Park’, a reservoir of statues and replicas from the communist era. It is a long bus journey out of the Buda side, so we see the suburban commuter belt of the

city. The first attraction upon entering the statue park is an old Trabant....
