Pest-ivus for the Rest-of-us

OMG! This morning Kris woke up at 6am (pretty much broad daylight) to some Hungarian thug stealing my bike!! Uh, a bright yellow, with pink T-mobile sticker bike - totally not cool to be trolling around on if you're a local I'm sure. Our window was wide open on the fourth floor, so he heard some...

I'll Take Buda for $1000 Alex

Well I'm trying to catch up with this travel blog right now. I came down with a small cold that has left me a little tired over the last few days, complete with stuffy sinuses and a running nose. I think it's the cold weather? Regardless, on Thursday we made it to a number of really cool...

Buda or Pest?

Holy cow, the Hungarians definitely contrast the Viennese! A little more rambunctious crowd and noticeably larger stature. Last night's bar crowd was a little rowdy, knocking things over and getting wild. The underground here is functional and packed with people, but definitely not new and...

I wanna go back!!!

Az Alpokban leírhatatlanuk gyönyörűek a faházak svájci zászlókkal virágokkal, akár a mesében. A kameránk természetesen lemerült az utazás végére mivel Col de la Forclazban nem lehetett tölteni az elemeket. A kanyargós utakon rengeteg errefelé a sportkocsi, porschék, ferrarik, maseratik, és egyéb...

At home last night

Éjfélig szereltük a kocsit, így terveinkkel ellentétben még nem indulunk. Jobb híján vacsi a mcDrive-ban.

Terror museum and the baths

Today Em, Janene and I decided to take it a little bit easier and take the metro to the “terror museum” to learn more about Hungary’s 20th centaury history, the museum was really interesting, really depressing and even at some points really sickening! It was very well put together designed to...

Free Walking tour

After our brekki today Chris, our new mate Janene set off to the heart of the city in search of the free walking tour that we saw advertised. As we had missed the 10.30am one we decided to do a bit of sight seeing ourselves before catching the 2.00pm one. To fill in time we walked over the...

Check in, rest!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! What a bloody night! We fell into a deep sleep at around 11pm, thinking we would have a chance to have a great nights sleep and then, perhaps, if we were lucky, a sleep in (train not getting in until 11am) but we were very very wrong. At 3am we woke with a start as our...
