Budapest Central Europe

Buda, Pest & Bratislava

29.9.24 6.45am alarm and off to brekkie, I don’t do well with only 6 hours of sleep. Thankfully the espressos are very strong. First stop metro 2 to the war memorial.

Must-See Highlights in Budapest: 18km of Exploration

28.9.24 Another comfy night for me. Not sure why but Carol was woken by flashing lights in the room in the night, which must have been scary. Breakfast was good, not in the same league as our last 2 hotels, but definitely plenty of choice. After breakfast I went off to the loo and wondered […]

Time to explore Bratislava.

24.9.24 I stirred at around 5am, Carol was scrolling on her phone. I turned over and went back to sleep and at 7.45am she was still scrolling. She was so excited by now to be able to make a noise and began to bounce around the room, bless her. Think Duracell Bunny. I only have […]

23.9.24 Firstly apologies to anyone who has ended up on this site expecting girl on girl action. Lets explore Central Europe looked like a good domain name until all the gaps between the words were merged into one long word. I’ve since changed it but now have the word tit in the middle. Sorry to […]
