Sziget

on Wednesday we went on our first big solo journey, we managed to not get lost and got to the Sziget music festival without a hitch. I have been told that Sziget is one of the largest music festivals in Europe and i'd believe it based on the number of people we encountered that had traveled from as faraway as Australia just to partake in the 5 day festival. there were tons of activities, 50 different stages and tents, countless little eateries and bars all out in this huge field swarming with people.
I am X was the first band we watched on the main stage, they're from the UK and were SO good! we proceeded to wander around and soon noticed the plethora of people with straight up BUCKETS of mojitos but we opted for something a little less intense (aka we couldn't find the Mojito Bucket selling tent haha)
Oh by the way the drinking age in Hungary is 16.. Kate got carded twice haha poor thing!

another ridiculous yet awesome activity was this big rocking wooden boat like thing. its hard to explain but its like a ride that rocks back and forth (from "bow" to "stern") and the 50+ drunk people on it are the ones propelling it back and forth. so naturally after seeing this I had to get on and test it out! we got on board and as it got into full swing we began singing Andy Samberg's I'm on a Boat..no one really understood where we came up with this song but it was hilarious non the less.
we went on to get some deliciously cheap gyros, listened to a Roma band and then headed back to main stage after crawling scraping squeezing through a gate in order to find the only non disgusting bathroom at the festival. We then watched Snow Patrol perform which is when Kate got kicked in the head by some extremely intoxicated fool trying to crowd-surf.. but despite said incident the band was still amazing live. The final performance on the main stage was Lily Allen and she was adorable and fantastic as always!

Overall the experience was absolutely amazing and completely worth the trek out there and back, it would have been a whole nether ridiculous experience had we been able to camp there with the thousand+ other people there, but perhaps if i venture back another year camping there for the week will be my goal.
