Once on the road, Emil and I sailed through the border controls (still in place between Hungary and Romania until the end of the year). But when I saw the speedometer barely touching 50 km per hour I wondered if I did the right thing by accepting a lift to the airport- at this rate I could’ve run…

I was, we were, quite drunk last night as it was Wayne's great plan for us to get really smashed. Once again I was forced to drink and I really don't know why I am still keeping myself from killing off this dude and then be sober for the rest of my life. I am such a good person I could go on Oprah.…

Many travellers who got far away from home often missed the chance to see what's right in the neighbourhood. Shouldn't happen to me. My country has a couple of neighbours, Hungary being one of them. I've been in Budapest last time 10 years ago for 1 day only, it was time to see more of this beautiful city. And a chance to meet travbuddy Livia who was ready to show me and my two friends (collegues) around. Mix it with a beautuful shiny weather and what comes out is a perfect weekend trip.

An extremely long work day combined with an exceedingly short sightseeing:-))...just to give a taste of my capital...to be up-dated soon....

The few hours we had before the cab came to take us to aiport, was relaxing once. Slept till 8.30am and took some time finish packing, had some breakfast and Patrick watched tv up until it was time to go. The cab was a few minutes early and we got to the aiport in about 30 mins. We were a little …

We were drawing our European vacation to a close. We had to leave to go back home the next morning. Naturally we'd have to spend some time with the family before leaving. Fortunately we had the whole day to spend going back and visiting some of our favorite places.The day started off cold and li…

After a fantastic breakfast at the hotel we headed to Memento Park - see the review!  It was an interesting visit and it was nice to see the area between central Pest and the park which turned out to be about a 25 minute drive.  It was getting colder by the minute, the gloves that I broug…

So I had every intention of finally leaving Budapest last night, but after my failed attempt to get to Eger on Saturday because we didn't get up early enough, I decided to hold over another day so I could get there.  Plus, no one can leave this hostel.  I think the record is 6 failed atte…

Kristoffer and I woke up and were more then ready for a day of travel. We had spent the night at my boyfriend to make it a shorter drive to the airport and having the luck of him driving us as well was pure luxury:) We got to the airport where we were to meet Liz and her nephew, Patrick. Since th…

Hello dear readers, The time of writing is now 22.18 pm. In less than an hour my train will leave for Romania. So, if there are seats left, I will be in Romania tomorrow to continue my trip. Yes, I will continue my trip. As I wrote before I did not die. I´ve made some creative banktransfers with …

Budapest was quite nice and the experience was made even nicer because I stayed in a great hostel and met a lot of great people. Budapest is actually two cities - the older Buda, located on one side of the river, is dominated by Castle Hill. Like the name suggests, it is a hill with a castle on it,…
