Budapest

We arrive on time at approx 830am. Time to get some money out. So far this trip I have dealt with Euro, Kuna, Marks, Zloty and now Forint. They all have different exchange rates so it is a constant juggle to work out what you are actually paying. 1000 forint is approx $5. It certainly tests this old brain, and certainly Suzie “ I’m in finance” brain took a tumble a few times.

I arrived at my air bnb around 9 to drop my bag and go explore. I could not stay as the last guest was still there. I headed toward the old city for breakfast and to get my bearings. Around lunchtime I realised I needed to shower and rest, not much sleep on the train.

After a rest I headed to “Hero Square” and city park. The park is beautiful.

My first thoughts on a Budapest, clean, great green streets. Look forward to exploring more tomorrow.Read more
