The Haribo post

As I may have mentioned once or twice, I'm a great lover of Haribo. On my travels I decided to explore further Haribo's happy world and discover the experiences of this wonderful sugary treat that others have. I had two criteria when making my selection: firstly, I couldn't have tried them previously in the UK. That's not to say you can't get them in the UK, just that I'd not tried them. Secondly, I couldn't buy the same variety twice. I promised that I would let you know all the different varieties I had whilst travelling and so this post will be dedicated to Haribo: The Champion of Chewy Sweets! 
EASTERN EUROPE
Budapest
Tokarosvert
I was obviously so desparate to eat these I forgot to photograph them first!
Gyor
Veszprem
Heviz
Keszthely
Bratislava
These were delicious
Debrecen
These were awful!
Club Napoca
These were quite bland but did an excellent job of sticking my teeth together!
Sibiu
Sighisoara
These were probably the sweetest of all of them.
Targu Mares
Bucharest
Balchik
Burgas
I was really looking forward to these but they were incredibly disappointing

SOUTH AMERICA
Curico
I wasn't really expecting to get Haribo in South America and this was the case for Argentina and Chile. I became desparate for a sugary hit though and so these seemed the best option. They soon cured me and rather than leaving me with a desire for more, they left me with a pressing need for Gaviscon!
Piriapolis
You can imagine how excited I was when I found these in Uruguay!
Punta del Este
Foz do Iguacu
And then again in Brazil!
These last two I took the photos on my phone and I'm not sure where I was at the time.
You may have noticed that I had Wummis in Budapest and whilst these are the equivalent of that, I decided they counted as a different sweet with the packet being in English. I was right, they were a very different consistency - in the same way that veggie and non-veggie Colin the Caterpillars are.

Familiarity breeds contempt...

...or so the saying goes. But sometimes, being amongst familiar does exactly the opposite. Today is one of those days.  I'm currently in Györ; I got the train here from Tata. I had planned to get the train from Tovaroskert which is the station that was closest to where I was staying the last couple of days. I'd walked there yesterday as I hadn't seen ticket office when I'd arrived (hadn't looked to be honest) so I knew where to get the ticket as I'd be cutting a bit fine wth the train I had planned to get, but when I got to the station this morning, the ticket office was closed ((I know, I should have bought it yesterday...). There were notices on the windows which I think were trying to tell you what to do in this situation but google translate converted it 'you need to deposit a son-in-law which isn't redeemable'. Given I have no children enable me to have a son-in-law I figured this could be a little tricky! Now everything I have read told me not ...

Entertainment on the go

At the time I started writing this blog post, according to my BA app I have 6 days, 5 hours and 26 minutes until my flight to Buenos Aires. The flight time is estimated to be 13 hours and 55 minutes and given the size of Argentina and Brazil (the two biggest countries I'm traveling around), is fairly representative of the long journeys that will be involved in my South American Adventure. To save money, around Eastern Europe I'd downgraded to the free version of Spotify to listen to some tunes, but their New Year offer of three months for 99p has meant I've splashed out and upgraded back to the Premium version (which I'll likely continue until the end of the trip depending on data/wifi availability). I'd had a playlist that I tended to listen to interspersed with various Spotify playlists and specific artists that I'd go for depending on my mood. My 'randoms I like' playlist started with a few songs I'm particularly fond of and then as I thought of o...

Another great detour!

Today marks the two thirds completed milestone for my trip! I'm currently in Suceava and should be visiting the painted monasteries that this area is famed for. However, yesterday on my way to one of them, I managed to pull a muscle in my calf and after an unbelievably painful journey back to the hostel via the pharmacist for painkillers and supermarket for supplies (including frozen peas...) I've been laid up in bed resting said calf. Am gutted I'll miss the monasteries, this is why I'm here after all! But such is life and the medical advice from the lovely Shalini has been fab and it's definitely improving so hopefully I won't be hindered by my injury for too long. In case you were wondering, I did it just walking down the road. I'd slipped a few days ago and it was twinging a little and then yesterday, when crossing the road something felt like it popped in my calf and the pain was excruciating. Wish I could report that I did it doing something more excit...
