      Esztergom

      January 1 in Hungary ⋅ 🌧 3 °C

      Heute beginnt der Tag mit Nieselregen, wird dann aber drchgehend sonnig. Unser Schiff hat um 8 Uhr in Esztergom angelegt. Nach dem Frühstück hatten wir eine Führung durch die Wasserstadt zur Basilika, in der normalerweise das größte Wandbild der Welt zu sehen ist. Leider konnten wir nur die Schatzkammer und die Krypta besichtigen, weil während der gleichzeitig stattfindenden Messe keine Touristen zugelassen waren. Den frühen Nachmittag verbrachten wir relaxed in unserer Kabine 114. Vor dem Abendessen genossen wir eine Hydrojetmassage. Nach einem leckeren Abendessen spielte im Prima Teatro das Johann-Strauss-Quartett. Unser Schiff fuhr weiter stromaufwärts Richtung Wien.Read more

      Primera parada de hoy en nuestra excursion a los alrededores de Budapest: la badilica de San Adalberto. Está en obra pero conseguimos entrar. A White le sale el sombrero volando en una rafaga de viento aunque consigue recuperarlo.Read more

      Esztergom Day 3 Visegrad & Svetlana

      October 22, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

      We set off for Visegrad at 830am to catch the connecting bus to get us up to Visegrad Castle. No sooner had we arrived at the bustop, when along comes a lady pulling a little bag. She is from Ukraine and we got her life story in 5 mins. She continued her stories on the bus, tears and all.
      Her daughter's who were working in Budapest went to her border town with Russia called "Happiness" to bring her to Hungary in 2021 as war was looming. She and her younger daughter are school teachers whilst her older daughter's a lawyer. However, they now work as house keepers and for Samsung, not sure in what capacity. Just before we got off at our stop, she invited for us to meet for coffee later in the afternoon after her work. She is even eager for us to meet her daughters and go dancing in Budapest on Thursday night. When asked how her village felt about the war, she said that they all just want peace. Most of them work across the border in Russia but live in Ukraine. She said, "We are Russians, but Ukraine Russians. No problem. No war. Just peace. Work Russia, come home sleep Ukraine. What's the problem. No need war. Just peace."

      Visegrad is a very small town with a castle by the Danube bend. Beautiful panoramic views from the castle. The castle holds a small but informative museum. Visegrad was the hometown of King Matthias of Hungary and it was also home to the Summer Palace of the King in the 13th century. Lunch was at a kisch medieval themed restaurant. We shared an entree smoked cheese salad and a bison steak main. The weather was wet and windy so we did not venture for much more hiking than the steep descent from the castle to lunch. We did meet Svetlana late afternoon, and she insisted on buying us afternoon tea. We had to meet her "man " who came to pick her up. He showed us his model planes at the back of his car.

      Dinner was a simple leafy green vege soup back at the accommodation.

      Esztergom Day 2 Esztergom Piac

      October 21, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      After a good rest, we walked to the Esztergom Piac which is the Market. Tried our first Langos. It was delicious. It's deep fried bread topped with garlic spread and copius amount of shredded cheese. We also got some green leafy veges and some meat from the butcher. Whilst waiting in line for the butcher, Ruby started a mime play with 2 little kids who were in line with their dad. She had the kids and other customers in fits of laughter. So much so that when I met the kids again whilst Ruby was at an op shop, the kids gestured🤷 asking after Ruby. I pointed to the shop to their disappointment.

      On the way back from the Piac, I stopped to have a coffee at a sort of pub/coffee shop. A lady that was already there was having a pint of beer and a shot glass of clear liquid. The bar person let Ruby smell the clear liquid and asked if she wanted some. This is not even 10am yet. So using gestures, Ruby said she would try a little. The lady proceeded to pour her half a shot and said it was on the house when I tried to pay for it. It was a delicious apricot brandy.

      We visited the Basilica that is the biggest in Hungary but it was still under renovation. Outside the Basilica was a busker who played 3 recorders really well, together at the same time. When I was playing the recorder, I couldn't even make one sound good.
      The views were spectacular from the Basilica and it was lovely to walk down the streets without the throng of tourist. On the walk we found some lovely sculptures.

      Tag 26.1: Abschied Farmunk - das Pferd

      September 14, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Zum Abschied von den Tieren von Farmunk haben wir circa 1,5 kg Karotten an die Schweine, das Eselchen und das Pferd verfüttert. Das Pferd wollte dann noch mehr raushaben und dachte, dass es bei uns bestimmt noch was zu holen gibt. Erst rannte es mir hinterher, weil es dachte, dass noch was im Rucksack ist und dann streckte es den Kopf zu Robert in die Fahrertür rein und wollte sogar an unseren Minimülleimer in der Tür. Als es dann doch nichts mehr zu holen gab, hat es weiter gegrast, aber hat sich für unsere Abfahrt dann keinen Zentimeter mehr zur Seite bewegt. Farmunk war auf jeden Fall wieder ein Stellplatz mit Naturerlebnis.Read more

      Tag 24.1: Farmunk

      September 12, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Heute haben wir uns mittags aufgemacht zu einem Stellplatz nordwestlich von Budapest in der Nähe von Tata. Das besondere ist, dass es ein Farmgrundstück namens „Farmunk“ mit Schwimmteich ist, auf dem ein Esel, ein Pferd, Ziegen, Schafe und eine Gans frei herumlaufen (es gibt noch weitere Tiere), man auf dem Teich mit dem Ruderboot fahren und im Teich schwimmen könnte und das ganze nur für den Erwerb von ein paar Lebensmitteln.
      Wir waren einkaufen und haben für die Tiere Wirsingblätter mitgebracht, die ratzfatz verfüttert waren.
      Es ist mal wieder ein idyllisches Stückchen Erde, ein toller Platz für die Kinder und ein sicherer Ort für uns alle. Und vielleicht bring es ja Glück einen Esel vor der Tür stehen zu haben.      Read more

      Die Sankt-Adalbert-Kathedrale

      August 18, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Ein absoluter Fail. Als wir ankamen, war die Kathedrale wegen einer Messe geschlossen und es standen locker 1500 Touristen davor die gewartet haben, dass sie reingehen können.
      Kein Kommentar 😅 Wir sind dann gegangen.Read more

      A strange Hungarian version of St Helens

      July 29, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

      Post ice cream, it was back over the border to Hungary and the bike lanes continued though in places they were labelled as tractor / horse and cart lanes - no matter at least the mad drivers weren't my concern. Getting across the numerous level crossings however was - lethal. Next stop was the lakeside resort of Tata - lunch stop and with only 10 to go. Settled down in a shady spot by the lake, watched the comings & goings both on the lake and lakeside. Very pretty - also quite busy. From here Tatabanya was signposted but strangely it was unclear when it began. Before getting to the hotel I went through various districts (ish) and none seemed central. Lots of Soviet looking tower blocks then in a stone's throw you seemed to be back in the sticks. Just down the hill from the hotel were three supermarkets all next to one another & nothing else. That is apart from the athletics stadium the hotel overlooked and the mining museum round the corner from Aldi. Clearly it was formerly a mining town but felt more like lots of little towns. On arrival the provincial theme continued - Not a word of English & she wasn't keen on Google's attempts either. At the moment Google isn't doing so well for me. In fairness she hunted down the AIRCON remote for me. Once cooled down decided to have a little look at the mining museum. Unsurprisingly no-one spoke English though one of the other people visiting suggested she'd translate the tour guide. Didn't think that was fair on her so photographed the map & key and mooched on my own. Interesting window on life in Soviet times. Back to the hotel & thunder was rumbling as was an athletics meet. As the heavens opened I sat on the balcony watching the athletes compete in the rain. Decided to opt out of walking to the rather distant restaurants that might or might not be open according to Google. Lidl was definitely open and close enough.Read more

      Tata

      July 7, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Nach einer extrem ruhigen Nacht in der Pusta, ging es noch eine kleine Runde durch die Wiesen. Dann auf die Piste nach Tata, weil die Stadt im Internet als besonders sehenswert ausgezeichnet wurde. Von einem Parkplatz etwas außerhalb, auf dem man theoretisch auch übernachten könnte, ging es mit dem Rad ins Zentrum. Mit dem Labcache konnten die Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten schnell erreicht werden. Ja ganz nett mit dem See, der Burg und dem Schloss.Read more

      October 31, 2022 in Hungary ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Der Dom überragt mit gewaltigen Maßen 100 m hohe Kuppel das Donauknie. Er ist der Sitz des Bischofs mit Priesterseminar. Der Löwe als Zeichen der Macht ist aus Sand erstellt und wird regelmäßig erneuert. Der Flötenspielen konnte mit 3 Flöten gleichzeitig spielen und als er wusste, woher wir kommen, spielte er "Freude schöner Götterfunken." Das war uns ein Trinkgeld wert.Read more
