Via Marisa: So, can I just say that we love, love, LOVE Budapest? Budapest is the best!! It is beautiful and chic and people are not rude and it is fun. The architecture and surroundings remind me a lot of Paris, with a little hint of tree-lined West Village. Heaven! Zsa Zsa Gabor is originally from Budapest, so we decided that this meant we nee...

After a short 1-hour flight we arrived in Budapest. We were both eager to get to know this city! In the airplane we were sitting next to a hungarian pianist that lived in the Netherlands with her husband. She was going to visit her parents in Budapest and by coincidence they lived very close to our Hostel. So we took a taxi together to our desti...

Being a local, Istvan took us on a walking and metro tour around, taking us first up to Heroes Square and then across the Danube to the Buda side. We climbed the citadel for absolutely fabulous views of the c...

Apologies for the delay in the latest updates but we've been busy doing lots of different things that have taken up quite a bit of our time. We arrived in Budapest on the night train from Sarajevo and noticed that the Kelete train station looked a lot like Victoria so for a short while we where a bit confused that we had somehow arrived in the w...

Hi everyone (it's Devon), So there's been a slight change of plans as you can see from the map.....we said ciao ciao to Italy, and decided to head north to Eastern Europe.
