HungaryBudapest is celebrating its national holiday tomorrow, Sunday 20 August, but the festivities began today. Streets and bridges are closed to traffic and there are food and drink stalls as far as the eye can see along the river and music to be heard all over the city. 20 August is the greatestRead more

HungarySlovakia has been a thoroughly wet experience but at least the wind was on our side and pushed us to more than 100km one day. We were a bit surprised how fast we got to Hungary, but the country greeted us with sunshine on a beautiful section of the Danube. After two great days in Budapest we hit theRead more
HungaryOur accommodation is about 10 minutes walk from the Danube so great location.

Walked beside the Danube on the Buda side then crossed back to the Pest side overRead more
HungaryLooked around Heroes' Square and surrounds. Beautiful parklands (City Park) and Vajdahunyad Castle and its buildings. Behind the parklands is the Szechenyi Bath which we had hoped to enjoy but the line to get in was ridiculously long and in the sun and it was 31 degrees....so no!

On our last day in Budapest there were two places we wanted to visit:
1. St Stephen's Basilica - we had gone past it so many times on the bus but had not taken the time to actually stop and look inside. We righted that wrong today...and we were happy we did. The interior is magnificent.
2. "TheRead more

After a longer evening than expected, we started late into the day. It was already very hot. We followed the Eurovelo 6 along the "Donau" (Danube in Hungary). The road was perfect. Wind was supportive. With 30+ km per hours, we easily rolled along the river.
At lunchtime, we passed the OlympicRead more
HungaryIn the morning we visited the 'Shoes on the Danube'. This is a memorial to the Budapest Jewish people during WW11 who were sadly taken to the banks of the Danube, told to remove their shoes and then shot. Tragic and a sad part of history.
