      Night bathing at Rudas thermal spa

      January 3, 2020 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C

      Tonight we drank a few coffees to stay awake for the 10pm to 4am night session at the Rudas baths.
      The original Turkish baths were built 450 years ago and it now has a panorama open air spa on the rooftop with gorgeous views along the River Danube and to the cliff face behind.
      It was so cold on the rooftop that the staff were scraping away the ice forming on the walkway but the temperature of the water in the spa was perfectly warm.
      The walk home in the early hours of the morning was freezing cold (minus 3 degrees) and foggy but the city buildings were still illuminated beautifully.      Read more

      Day 3

      Buda

      February 18, 2020 in Hungary ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      Heute ging es vom Hotel, bzw. dem Hauptbahnhof mit der U-Bahn runter zur Donau. Dann zu Fuß über die Brücke und hoch zur Freiheitsstatue. Von dort ging es weiter zur Burg und zur Fischerbastei. An einigen touristischen Hotspots war es mal etwas voller, dann war man aber auch wieder alleine unterwegs. Unser Weg ist wohl nicht der typische Touritrip. Nach dem Trouble in der Fischerbastei gab es im Cupcake lecker Küchle und heiße Schokolade. Dann ging es weiter an der Donau entlang zur Margareteninsel. Der eine oder andere Cache konnte auf der Strecke auch gefunden werden.Read more

      Day 2

      Budapest

      October 23, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Early start, left hotel at 5:15 to walk across to terminal 3. No queues but we did get the trainee on his first day serving real customers supervised by an experienced agent who reminded him of some really basic stuff. Landed at Budapest but then a lot of waiting around, for another set of guests on a later plane before we got the coach. An hour or so to the quayside to board before waiting for the room to be ready. The level of the Danube is currently very low so some of the cruises are having to start further up river. We decided to go out for a walk, but as it is a bank holiday in Hungary to commemorate the 1956 revolution, almost everything is closed. Strolled the bank side path to the Green bridge crossing the river to walk along the opposite bank and then back across the “chain bridge. Now we have walked through both Buda and Pest (which I think is the side of the river where we are moored).Read more

      Merry Christmas

      December 24, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      Christmas Eve is a big part of Christmas celebrations over here. Everything shuts around 2 in the afternoon and it's party time.

      We put up our Christmas tree (branch) and a few token gifts. Which is cool, because whatever gifts we get we have to drag around Europe for the next year.

      As predicted, it's warmed up to about 7 degrees and the snow is pretty much gone, but still feels unreal to be here.

      We had an early dinner at the same Hungarian restaurant we went to the other day. Melissa had recommended it to us and the food was awesome. An authentic home style Hungarian dinner. Nicky was especially pleased... I think this is the first time in years she hasn't had to cook a Christmas dinner.

      After the meal, we wandered home back along the Danube. The river is quite impressive. At 500m wide, it makes Australian rivers look like creeks.

      Anyway, time to relax and celebrate. Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you!      Read more

      Wundervolles Budapest 🌶️

      April 4 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Bereits um 9.30 Uhr erreichten wir die ungarische Hauptstadt Budapest. Geteilt durch die Donau befindet sich der Stadtteil Buda auf der Seite der "Burg" bzw. des kaiserlichen Palastes und Pest auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, wo auch das Parlament zu finden ist.

      Emsig & voller Vorfreude machen wir uns auf den Weg, denn wir haben ein straffes Tagesprogramm zu meistern: Markthalle, Kettenbrücke, Seilbahn, Palast, St. Matthias-Kirche, Fischerbastei, Margarethenbrücke, Parlament, St.-Stephans-Basilika, jüdisches Viertel und die vielen Straßen dazwischen 😉

      Um 19 Uhr sind wir erschöpft und glücklich zurück auf dem Schiff und genießen noch immer die Eindrücke des Tages, denn gleich wenn das Schiff ausläuft, können wir Budapest noch bei Nacht sehen... Wir sind gespannt und freuen uns 😍      Read more

      Croisière sur le Danube

      June 22 in Hungary ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      Aujourd’hui on fait une journée assez calme.
      Petite croisière sur le Danube avec les explications de l’histoire de la ville ainsi que des monuments.
      L’après midi on se balade dans l’autre partie touristique (un peu trop) de la ville. On voulait aller dans un café spéciale mais il fallait une réservation et ils sont complets pour le week-end. Tant pis 🤷🏻‍♀️
      Après une bonne sieste à l’hôtel, on est retourné manger les fameuses crêpes hongroises. Le serveur se souvenait de nous et il nous a amené des tomates pour Amelia. Après elle lui a échangé son livre contre le stylo du serveur. Une belle soirée. 🥰
      C’était les 8 mois d’Amelia ♥️      Read more

      So, Tag 2 ist zu Ende gegangen.
      Dieses Mal: 502 km und insgesamt von 08:00 bis 19:30 on the road gewesen. Vom strahlendem Sonnenschein bis sintflutartige Regenfälle war Alles dabei.
      Jetzt sind wir hier in Budapest und nach ein wenig Sightseeingtour geht es jetzt ins Bett 🛏.
      Morgen geht es Richtung Rumänien, vielleicht treffen wir auch 🧛‍♂️ Dracula.
      Gute Nacht euch allen.      Read more

      Conquering the Danube

      December 29, 2019 in Hungary ⋅ 🌙 0 °C

      River cruise, 10 euro, with a welcome drink - safe to say we were actively managing our expectations on this one, but it was great! Started at 4pm so we got to see the transition from day to dusk to dark, and how gorgeous the city is in each.Read more

      Fake it til you pee

      January 1, 2020 in Hungary ⋅ 🌙 1 °C

      We stood in the street for midnight on NYE, to be specific, outside a concert hall (pictured in daylight in the last shot).

      The Hungarian approach to celebrating this seems to be either go and see a classical concert or sell any drunk bastard a truckload of fireworks and let them set them off, willy nilly, in the street, and bugger safety. Very entertaining but I'm sure someone has lost a finger.

      At 12 the concert hall had intermission so the very fancy attendees could stream outside, champagne in hand, to watch the festivities. I took the opportunity to try to blend in and sneak inside to use the loo and have a poke around. Some ladies spoke quite a lot of friendly Hungarian to me in the toilet queue which I did my best to respond to confidently to so as not to blow my cover. Some well placed eyebrow raising and sympathetic nods got me through. I got asked to take my seat in the concert hall but decided not to push my luck. Success.      Read more

      Už sa to začalo

      January 22, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

      Ráno začína cestovná horúčka a tak vstávam skoro o hodinu skôr ako bolo v pláne. O pol siedmej voláme Tomčovi, či už ide, ale nedvíha telefón. Tak asi zaspal. Nezaspal, iba sa nevie zbaliť do auta. Nakoniec píše na Viber, že už ide, ale bude musieť nejakú batožinu nechať asi u nás, lebo už nie je miesto pre naše kufre. Nakoniec sme to všetko za prispenia každého z nás nejako do auta dali a nemuseli sme nič nechať u nás. Ale neviem či to dáme aj cestou domov. S 20 minútovým meškaním nakoniec vyrážame v ústrety dobrodružstvám. Cestou do Budapešti pršalo, ale náladu nám to nevzalo. Na prvej pumpe, kde sme chceli dobiť batériu na mieste pre nabíjanie stál benzínový dobrák a tak pokračujeme ďalej a dobre sme urobili. Na ďalšej pumpe tesne pred letiskom ja 150Kw nabíjačka a tak po 20 minútach je auto nabité a pokračujeme. Na letisku to vyzerá veselo. Maďarsky viem trocha a anglicky ani toľko, ale záhadne to nejako zvládam a nestratil som sa. Pokračujeme na odbavenie batožiny, ale najprv pre istotu skúsime odvážiť batožinu. Prvý kufor, má 22kg a to nie je najväčší. Prevraciame oči a každý ďalší je ťažší, no asi bude veselo. Nejakým zázrakom nám batožinu bez problémov prevezmú a máme vyhraté. Tešili sme sa však veľmi skoro. Pri kontrole príručnej batožiny najprv Adamko musí prejsť testom na drogy a potom ja ako posledný a výzorovo najväčší grázel počas prechádzania cez kontrolnú bránu začína táto pípať, ako keby som atómovku pašoval. Tak si ma hneď odchytili. Najprv ma oskenovali a nič nenašli, nezdalo sa im to a tak ešte prehmatanie celého tela a keď aj tak nič nenašli, tak skenovacím prístrojom prešli po celom tele ako to vidieť vo filmoch. Začínal som mať s toho zábavu, stále nič nenašli. Ale úradníci sa nevzdávajú a ja čakám kedy ma odvedú do vedľajšej miestnosti na dôkladnú kontrolu. Nakoniec ešte vyzuť topánky preskenovať nohy aj topánky, keďže ani tam nič nenašli, tak pre istotu ešte zložiť dole okliare, keďže ani pod nimi nič nebolo, tak ma pustili ďalej. Odchádzame do zóny pre cestujúcich mimo EU a čakáme ako dopadne kontrola pasov a leteniek. Všetko dobre dopadlo, tak si Tomčo kupuje v Dutyfree obchode fľašu TatraTea pre Ae v Krabi. Toto píšem na letisku v Budapešti a čakám čo bude ďalej nasledovať, či sa dostanem do lietadla.Read more
