Greetings from Hungary! We arrived here a few hours ago and I am not too sure how I feel about it. It is definatly not what i expected! It is very dirty and busy, with a lot of homeless and drunk looking people. Every one looks depressed. This could have been because it was Monday and the weather was bad or it is just a sad place to live in. We have not seen the whole of Budapest, obviously as we had just arrived. I am looking for to seeing it as every one has told me what a beautiful city it is! We left Siggi very early this morning by train. I am going to miss it! It was so relaxing and beautiful. The training was awesome and I am really hoping that I will be able to go back there next year! So this week I had my first birthday away from home, which was very different but still wicked! My mum was in Siggi so we went for lunch in the village and a walk around town. It was so lovely to see her, it had felt like forever since I had seen here last so her being there made my day. The fruit salad was very nice but I am definatly looking forward to a nice big cake after the race! Not long now till the big race. The nerves are starting to kick in a little and the atomsphere has changed from being very relaxed to a little be more intense. Anyway I shall keep you posted!
Ta ta for now,
Maddie
