Budapest

Budapest, as mentioned, rich in its history and culture, magnificent in its architecture ... I'll let the pics below do the talking.


Quick update ... after a delightful evening with Anton and Karin, the Swedish, South Africa to Sweden bikers, who cooked up a very tasty farewell dinner in the apartment they had rented, I woke this morning still tired after a storm interrupted sleep. Checked-out of the hotel, walked and coffee-shopped before picking up the bike; all good-ish, don't know that I'm totally happy about the new rear bearing but I'll give it a few kilometres first before passing judgement. Rest of the bike is perfect and singing sweetly. Weather has turned stormy so will stay put and let it pass. Found an excellent place to camp. A motorcycle-mad and biker-friendly, mother and son, who have basically given over their garden to bikers where my tent is now pitched; the garage has been converted into shower rooms, toilets, and kitchen. Facilities include washing machine, BBQ, chairs, tables, loungers, etc and a fridge full of beer, wine, etc with an honesty board for marking what you've consumed. It really is excellent and 5 kilometres from Budapest city centre. Perfect place to hang out.

Please excuse the brief, bland and plain script but will put better 'pen to paper' when I have something more substantial to say. Enjoy the pictures although an iPhone can never bring the best out of this city ...
