Now this will make you cringe, there is a campsite on an island in the middle of the river in the centre of the city. The parliament buildings are awesome, outside & inside, inside everything is gold leafed.
We flew & hired an apartment, found it much more interesting than Prague.

Yeah theres a free parking right opposite the parliament buildings ..but i imagine it will be a nightmare to drive in so i dont think ill go

 

[Northernraider]

Tesco was a disappointment ...no soup but you could buy anything in there from apples to tyres , batteries , wardrobes paint ... you name it

No hoodies my size either

Dogs did better than me ...this is all i got

But it did cost less than 15 quid for the lot

That is real coffee better than that black sludge you get in coffee shops.

Just to chip in here on the Budapest debate. We were there a couple of years ago and the park that sits on the river is huge, even for a big city. Would recommend a visit to Tam or anyone else who might be passing.

No hope for you, that instant stuff does not relate to coffee in any shape or form.

Ill think about it

Why?

Its cheaper than water

Whats wrong with real coffee?

Too much hassle

 

[Northernraider]

Diesel is £101 here . Guess who Fiddlesticksin filled up before leaving Romania.


And the speed cameras are sneaky

I had a few cars flash headlights at me so i expected a police or border guard check ....3 miles later i see a black unmarked suzuki swift of all cars parked at the side of the road at an angle with a dirty great camera pointed out the open passenger window. Id have never paid that any attention if cars hadn't flashed.


Now in mezotur for the night . Quiet wee park up next to a huge park

Many years since we were in Budapest, I remember many of the buildings were dilapidated but there was a McDonald's on every corner.
We travelled along the river by crowded tram but 3 guys got on then put on red arm bands and started to check tickets The bell was rung and when it slowed there was a mass exodus of people.

 

[Northernraider]

Oh also no masks here inside or out
No checking of vaccine status etc ar border either.

Tam on lunchtime news they had a reported in Budapest. Behind him was a huge amount of refugees who had arrived for processing. So be careful if you do go
