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.

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…

Because I only 9 days until I fly out to Cuba I spent last night researching accommodation, transportation and downloading a shiteload of ebooks, Spanish learning apps and maps. While doing so I had my first encounter with bedbugs! I noticed one on my bed, and when I inspected closely I found 3 more of…

This is the view of Pécs from atop the TV Tower on the hill overlooking the city. The TV Tower is a massive 176 meter high tower that was built in the 70’s and is now open as a lookout point and restaurant. To get there requires a car or a 90+ min hike from the…

I decided to give my liver a rest for a few days and head to the south of Hungary to check out the small student city of Pécs. Because winter is on its way it gets dark by 4.30pm here now, which makes it difficult to do/see much in the daylight hours, especially when you are…

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…

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…
