In February 2005 it was time for the annual Language College Conference. This year it was held in Budapest. I was lucky enough to stay in the Danubius Hotel Gellert with its luxurious underground pools and spas. I got to use them everyday and apart from having to wear a silly hat, they were brilliant. Fond memories include Bernadette being told off for swimming the wrong way in the one way system, being fined for having the wrong ticket on the tram, a visit to the famous Wieliczka salt mine and being serenaded at one of the best restaurants in the world (somewhere on the outskirts of the city).Â
