Rewind back to Budapest for 5 mins

What can I say... there I was sitting in open air cafes drinking and eating Carrot cake in the centre of Budapest while you busy lads were rushing around in 30deg heat, trying to get your Visa's sorted! I was delighted to know that you knew what your priorities where. Good to speak to you lads while I was there though.
 
I've attached some photos of Budapest for the places you didn't see while you were there. The last picture, as you can see is a tram. As they will be coming to Edinburgh soon I though I would experience at first hand what it is like to travel on this form of transport. I travelled from Buda across the river Danube to Pest and back on one of these ultra modern trams - very effecient, clean and quick. Budapest has the advantage of wide roads so the trams go up the middle of them while two lanes of traffic go either side. Obviously there town council were thinking ahead when planning future public transport unlike back here in Edinburgh!
 
Just make sure you guys keep to the speed limit and use your diplomatic touch when next speaking to the polis on the road. Maybe you could offer them some elastic bands for their wooden speed cameras.
 
I've noticed from the pictures you have been publishing that your hair is looking a bit on the grey side Tom, so I've spoken to the Russian authorities and arranged a batch of "Just For Men" hair dye. Hopefully you will receive that when you cross the border - if not, phone "Boots" the Chemist.
 
Good luck as you continue on your journey!
