The best laid plans

Budapest (again)

We are back in Budapest this week.

Our original plan had been to stop over in Budapest for two nights on our way to Romania, then Bulgaria and onto Greece. But unpacking and repacking every four days tends to unpick the relaxed vibe, so we decided to skip Romania and just chill in Budapest for a whole week. We loved our time in Budapest last month and Romania's not going anywhere, right??

For the sake of clarity - travelling around like this for months is seriously my dream lifestyle and I am loving it. But we're in this for the long haul, and are discovering that moving a bit more slowly is way more fun!

Despite doing heaps on our earlier trip to Budapest, the city is so huge and diverse we've had some new experiences as well as repeating some of our favourites from last time.

Here's the last few days in pics:


Coffee at My little Melbourne Cafe - we spotted it, had to try it and it was awesome! There has been waaaay too much coffee consumption in the past two weeks. I blame a sudden abundance of great coffee. We also tried some palinka - not sure what to blame that one on ;)



Dohany St synagogue - the largest synagogue in Europe! It was apparently designed by non-Jewish German and Hungarian architects, which explains the presence of a huge church-style organ...


The streets are filled with buildings exuding character...



And insane street art


City park Sunday market - there was a literal herd of animals on offer - chicken, lamb, pork, beef, duck, goose, goat...


This one was not on the menu - awww...
