This morning we woke up bright and early to prepare for the last day of our international trip. Breakfast consisted of a small array of foods and beverages on the otherside of the courtyard from our hostel. We were briefed before recieving our packs for the wide game. After which we rushed off to prepare ourselves, we collected our belongings and headed off to the first location, a short walk from our hostel.
The games began at 10am as the clock chimed, the 13 teams sped off to different sectors on the map, the aim of the game was to avoid the 'guards' and discover and collect codes which gave us points. The general public, unknowingly took part in the game, some of which were more useful than they know...
We ran around Budapest for two hours earning points and successfully evaded the capture of one set of guards but we weren't so lucky with the second lot as they caught up with one of the leaders. The game finished at twelve with 103 sweaty guides, before everyone split to enjoy the final afternoon of the trip.
After enjoying a quick lunch at Subway, an ice-cream shaped like a flower and some souvenir shopping; we hopped on the underground towards the thermal baths. Here we enjoyed 2 hours of relaxing in 37 degrees Celsius pools, we took the underground once more ready for the closing / award ceremony.
All the groups gathered in the courtyard to be seated with other guides from the Midland's. The meal was buffet style and passed by quickly, soon enough we were gathered outside ready for awards. Staffs_slayers (us) won the 'super service project' award and out of the 13 groups we came 3rd overall. We then headed off to bed ready to wake up to travel at 3am the next morning. All in all our adventure was a good one making friends and travelling Europe together.
