This time I ate before posting.

It occurred to me a couple of hours after I visited the internet last that I may have half told a couple of stories.

I haven't re-read anything so I'm going by vary vague memory here. The Urchins in my foot left black marks in the bottom which couldn't really be removed hence the tatoo.

The other clarification is that Jen made it clear it was the sphincter at the top of her stomach, as you're body has more than one sphincter.

So. What's going on now? I've been relatively tired the whole trip, which sucks but I am what I am. Coffee helps to make up for this, gravol taken for a bus trip (which I took today) does not. Belgrade is our new home, it seems we have given up on going south and we're now heading back north. Budapest is likely the next destination, either tomorrow or the day after. Who knows. Sarajevo was beautiful, slapped right in the valley of some mountain/hills with a small river running through it, amazing views, an old town that was made for strolling down and brandys that were made to make you feel sick the next day. We did that, as always we didn't really want to leave. We met two guys at a cafe one night named Vacky and Aldo, I just didn't want to forget their names so now you know, they are the ones that got us on the brandy trip, apricot was one of the favourites.

We also gave up the car in Sarajevo so we are now bus/train'ing it again. Having a car was so convenient it was ridiculous.

I think that's about it for now, I'm off to read. Whoohoo.

i'm really quite relieved that you cleared up a couple of things, especially jen's comment. i also wasn't sure whether you took your bad sea urchin luck as a sign and got a real sea urchin tattoo on your foot (which would have been awesome). i guess i wasn't the only one with more questions! can you post pictures of these amazing places?!

Yeah, the sea urchin tatoo was a stupid thing I came up with that seems to have been taken more (or maybe less?) literally than I expected. Some of the urchin bits have slowly been trying to make their way out of my foot which is unfortunate as I really hoped to keep them as a life long souvenir.

Sorry Erin, you've been bested, the internet doesn't lie.
