Budapest begins

Today was a travel day. I boarded a bus out of Bratislava in the morning, settling in for the ride to Budapest. 🇭🇺 As we cruised through the Slovak and Hungarian countryside, the landscape put on a pretty spectacular show - rolling fields and small villages covered in snow.

After arriving in Budapest, I dropped my bags at the hotel, took a moment to thaw out, and found the nearest Irish pub showing the Premier League. And what a reward. The North London Derby delivered in style - a big 4-1 win for the Gunners. 💪💪💪

Following the final whistle, I stepped back out into the crisp nighttime air and wandered over to some nearby Christmas markets. I didn’t stay too long, just long enough for a little stroll and dose of festive atmosphere, but it was the perfect soft landing into the city.
