Siggy to Budapest

Hi there




Sorry haven’t updated this in a while. Have two more days left here in Sigmaringen, been going good. Weather has been average, except last two days have been really good. On Monday morning I train 4hours to Frankfurt then fly to Budapest, looking forward to going there. Training has been going not too bad, ticking over. Shins been average so have been trying to keep them under control and keeping off my feet as much as possible. Love Europe, awesome place to train in. Lots of cool scenery to stare at when out biking and so different to NZ. My race is on Sunday the 12th at 5.30pm, looking forward to it. 78 guys in my race, should be a step up from Youth Olympics, be good. Race might be on TV at home, not sure, but will definitely be able to watch it on the ITU triathlon website…most likely free. After that I will leave with Mum and Dad, be good to see them again in Budapest, been a while. Anyway enough from me, see you soon.

  5. Hi Bones from Krakow in Poland - really cool place here (and cold!!!) - beautiful old buildings. Went out to Auschwitz & Birkenau concentration camps today - was really good but not a 'nice' place to visit, really sad and quite unbelievable that it all happened. Anyway, was a great experience. Just been for a ride around the city in a horse & carriage (Krystee was Princess Fiona!!! Dad looks like Shrek anyway so he was quite at home!!!!!)
    Had good train trip from Paris (Paris was beautiful - must go there again) - then we took train again to Frankfurt, nowhere near as nice as Paris. Then it was off to Prague, but got held up on the train as some poor man had a massive heart attack - we missed our connecting bus from Nurnberg so finally got on the bus for a 4 hour bus trip to Prague - beautiful old city but didn't get much time to look around. Then yesterday we got a private transfer to Krakow which took around 6 hours - it is heaps colder here - probably colder than when we left home so out with the winter woollies, but they still arent really warm enough (us girls are still toughing it out in 3/4's, boys being total pussies with their jeans on!!!!).
    Going to salt mines tomorrow then guess what on Wednesday - off to Budapest where we can finally see you again, seems like forever.
    Looking forward to it. See you soon.
    Lots of Love, Mum, Dad, Krystee, Nana & Grandad (alias Pockles - he is getting quite used to it now as Krystee calls him that all the time!!!!)
