Nothing says get out while you still can like riding around Budapest at 3Km per hour on a customised 12 person beer bike, urinating under bridges and crazy violin street performers.

Yesterday’s photo was the outside of the Hungarian Parliament house, todays photo is from the inside of the Parliament house. I did a tour early this morning as planned. The tour was ok, but unless you are an EU citizen I really wouldn’t bother as the price is double for non-Eu citizens. Afterwards I checked back…

Oh Budapest, I really think you are trying to kill me. I don’t want to leave you again, but at the same time my liver is telling me to get out while I still have a chance. Early last night after wandering the city in search of some live music and drinking the remainder of…

More markets and more bars! Today a couple of dudes who work at the hostel went out to the Chinese market on the edge of Budapest to pick up some things for the hostel so I decided to tag along. The market is in an old industrial estate, the actual market was a little disappointing,…

Today I ticked off all the dirty backpacker checkboxes. I have been in desperate need of doing some washing for a few days but the hostel machines have been broken. I have been re-using the least smelliest socks for the past several days, my shoes are covered in mud from caving yesterday and my dreads…

Caving in Budapest! Today was a bit of a miserable rainy day in Budapest, so I planned to spend majority of it underground. My plan was to visit the Hospital in the rock, then the Cave church near the Liberty Statue, and finally finish the day with caving. Because of some soaked shoes I managed…

Last night I planned to have a couple of quiet beers at the hostel, but after some pool, foozball, and homemade rakia I found myself at Szimpla kert for the second night in a row. Szimpla kert is one of Budapest’s famous Ruin Bars. There are heaps of these abandoned buildings turned pubs in Budapest…

So this morning I was rushing to try and get to the 10.30am free walking tour, on the way a bug Hungarian guy stopped me and took my map. I wasn’t sure what he wanted so I tried to grab it back off him and said “I’m fine mate, I’m need to meet someone and…

Today I finished my stint in the Balkans. Other than my few weeks in Turkey I have been exploring the Balkans since Day 95. It really is a fascinating place. I have purposely left out a couple of Balkan countries (Montenegro, Romania and Kosovo) so I have an excuse to come back to this amazing…
