More pics, oops-lost:

We started in La Herradura with Jess and Sam.

and went through snow

A characteristic pose.


I'm bereft, Joe has left, Prague, Berlin and home ag'in. But at least I have some pictures from his stay.


From Skalnate Pleso, last weekend, after a gorgeous hike and before a glass of hot wine. We ran into the colleague responsible for localising the MDGs. UNDP is everywhere.


In Stary Smokovec, waiting for the train and writing postcards.


The tastiest thing about the canteen we kept ending up in. The restaurant Koliba, just over the train track, is the one to look for. Albas Koliba is also good; Albus nightclub is not.

We were in Budapest during International Pillow Fight Club, armed with cameras but sadly not with pillows.

Flab dog in the ducksnow.

The Gomboc is the second Hungarian invention to reach the front cover of The Mathematical Intelligencer, the first being the Rubik cube.

After Palestrina, at the totally wicked Palace of Arts in Budapest (also the location of the Gomboc above). The opera was very interestingly produced, and the singers were excellent. What's more, the story (16th century Catholic politics) was a good one for opera, I think.

Joe at the castle.
