Day 7 -- Budapest Arrival

Drive through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary. Beautiful mountains and countryside. Small villages, where everyone is walking to or from the same Church. Much more beautiful than the Czech countryside or even the part of Poland on the way to Krakow. Fighter jet overhead. Roadside restaurant. ...

"Standing here in Buda, trying to explain..." (Pain of Salvation - Waking every God)

Von Wien wurden wir zuerst von zwei Bediensteten einer Fleischfirma mitgenommen, die vorher noch zwei Ladungen Fleisch in den Kofferraum luden. Sie brachten uns bis zum RH auf der Autobahn, von dem ein Ratinger mit Mettmanner Kennzeichen bis kurz vor Budapest brachte. Er fuhr mit seinem Sohn...

All good things come to an end

Our final day. Some last minute gifts to buy, having stowed our luggage behind reception, and then off to visit the Labyrinth and the Hospital in the Rock. The Labyrinth is a maze of underground caves, part of a 10km system which was carved out aeons ago by the action of the thermal waters in...

Let's try some public transport

Dodge the guards at Fisherman's Bastion! When we arrived on Sunday, we trotted across the square to what we thought was the ramparts and were able to walk along a part which gave excellent views over Pest. The following morning we thought it would be nice to see this in early morning light; oh...

Hop on - hop off

A walk round the old town taking in the Vienna Gate and views of the surrounding Buda Hills before catching the Hop on Hop Off Bus from the Palace about 300 metres from our hotel. A great way to get our bearings and have an idea of what we might want to return to to explore in more depth later...

Arrival

And today's lesson is.................when you change your pin, don't forget to change the note you made of it. Embarrassment at Manchester Airport when the card I had got for this trip back in October didn't respond to the pin I thought it had. When able to think in the cool light of a pint...
