Budapest Vámpírok Bálja Steintrip - Day 1

In Berlin we sadly had to wave goodbye to some Steinfans who were not following on to Budapest. Brian was first to leave in the morning, taking a long train journey through some beautiful countryside to arrive in Budapest late in the afternoon. Will, eager as ever, was the next early bird but found that his flight wasn't quite as keen to leave for Budapest as he was. The rest of us had a couple more hours sleep, and met Will at the airport.

So the SteinFlight took 6 of us to Budapest where we got a taxi van to take us to our various hotels, in time for a quick sh*t/shower/shave (delete as applicable) before making our ways to the theatre. En route we looked out for any SteinSites like this:



When we got to the theatre, we were surprised, delighted and a little bit worried to see some familiar objects:



Well, we did consider using the coffins as an unorthodox method of getting into the premiere, but even then we'd miss most of the show. Our entrance could be fun though! Instead we contented ourselves with some posing in front of the coffins:



From there to a local pizza place before we returned to the theatre for some stalking. I don't know if they knew we were coming, but the music in the restaurant included AFL and IYWAWAIWAM (first time I've ever typed that one out!). What are the odds, huh? Which reminds me, back in Berlin we heard AFL and Hero whilst sipping a milkshake in McD's.

Back at the theatre, we stalked Rinkoff till he noticed us:



Finally, here are some shots of the theatre and another part of the set later on:
