Budapest

While this wasn't the best bus tour ever (are they ever great?) it was definitely my most embarrassing.

Due to the torrential rain, they had a waterproof tent like cover over the bus, but it was just pooling with water which spilled a bit off each time we turned a corner, meaning everyone but us sat huddled in the middle of the bus to avoid getting splashed repeatedly.

I wanted to push the water off to make it so we could sit on the sides again but when I tried it was a huge downpour and made my seat wet so I left it.

Then we came to a stop and Brace said "this would be a good time to pour off the water, do it now"

Like a good little wife, I instantly and obediently sprang into action without a seconds thought, pushed up the tarps hard... Well it didn't go over the side, it parted 2 sections of the cover and the entire baths worth of cold water crashed down over Lennon, Brace and a total stranger lady (who took it remarkably well).

The entire bus crowd gasped and everyone was staring at me and looked horrified that I had just tried to drown my own son, who was sat there gasping and blinking the water out of his eyes, soaked through 🙈

Then Brace said "I was only joking! It was a joke because all the water would pour onto the new passengers getting on" (the hop on hop off bus)

Well that joke backfired 🙃 but no one dissolved and I stopped blushing after about an hour so all is well 😂Read more
