Hello from the Buda side of Budapest, Hungary. I thought this an appropriate time to check in with you all again, following our latest music festival; Sziget. Sziget literally means Island, and rather unsurprisingly is located on, yep an island! It’s on the Danube River in between Buda and Pest. The festival is one of the biggest in Europe attracting just short of 400,000 visitors per year. This seemed to include lots of Germans, Dutch, Italians and of course Brits. The headliners included; Iron Maiden, Jamiroquai, the Sex Pistols, REM, and the Killers. However my favorite band was actually the Hungarian Queen Tribute band. Their attempt to emulate Freddy was inspired - they used two people; a pretty blond Freddy and a big scary dude Freddy! Every festival defiantly needs to follow Sziget’s example and have a tribute tent. Anyhow another festival over, and many more new friends met (Big shout to the legendary Dutch people who shipped their VW camper van home from Australia and drove to the festival!), its time to recover in the best way I know how – another festival – Leeds here I come. I shall be giving the car a well needed rest and flying this time. Take care all, and have fun. dxx
