Budapest In November

budapest-boat-on-danube

Yesterday we had to go to Budapest.

It was an unplanned trip and we were quite busy.

But I managed to steal a few moments for taking pictures.

budapest-coffee

The weather was, well, like in November.

I decided  to warm myself up with a BIG cup of steaming coffee.

Accidentally, I ended up with the tiniest cup possible.

But it looked cute in the picture … .

I like to look at the bright side of things.

It helps me a lot!

And it seems that no matter what the time of the year it is, people still want to have fun.

But these guys went a bit too far I think!

They were supposed to stay on the road, weren’t they?

(Update: I checked them out and can’t stop listening to their intro song, it is gorgeous.)

budapest-gulls

Do you think it’s criminal to throw a rock in the river just to see some gulls take off?

It is?

I didn’t do that then.

Not at all!

Poor little gulls, that would scare them… .

budapest-parliament

Oh, how I love this building – the Hungarian Parliament.

It looks like if they’d let thousands of people add what they liked to the facade while they were building it.

Somebody is going to hate me for what I’ve just said… .

But I truly love the looks of that building!

budapest-suitcase

I started to feel a bit insecure when I had noticed this.

A suitcase in the park next to the Parliament?

There could be a bomb inside, that’s what I thought.

But luckily, I was wrong.

I love it when people create lovely funny things and have fun…

budapest-munching-couple

… I love that so much!

This Huge Trip Around Hungary

Hey, did you miss me?

Don’t worry, I am back.

Do you wonder where I have been?

Well, on the BEST VACATION ever!

Me and my boyfriend decided to have a look at what it looks like over in Hungary.

For those of you who don’t know where on earth that could be – Hungary is a lovely state in the center of Europe.

The following pictures will guide you through the whole journey!

Enjoy dear friends!

eger-view-from-the-castle-final-III-stroke

The first town we visited was called Eger.

They have a wonderful castle offering this marvelous view.

Then we strolled up and down the little streets and found this cute late summer harvest display.

eger-cafe-final

This little cafe looks so inviting.

eger-grape-must

Hmmm, and I hadn’t even expected this – GRAPE MUST – an absolute autumn Hungarian must.

eger-sunset-in-eger-final

The sun had set and our first day was done.

Time to go to bed and get a good sleep. There were six days of traveling ahead of us.

We slept at little local hotels. Another night – another hotel. It was interesting but it has taught me that there’s no such thing as your own lovely, used-by-nobody-else-before bed.

miskolc-tree-alley

The next day we visited Miskolc, a truly wonderful town. This alley had led us to a huge surprise…

miskolc-the-castle-final-darkened-edges-II

… actually, it wasn’t huge, it was HUGE!

And that is a king in the front. Yeah, you are thinking the right way, he did own the castle.

Can you see the years on the front plate (1342-1382)? That was pretty long ago, haaa?

According to Wikipedia he enjoyed reigning over various countries and his greatest hobby was warfare.

Who would expect that, right?

miskolc-my-loveliest-final

This is my personal favorite.

It really warms up my heart and brings about that sweet dreamy feeling.

Yaaay!

boats-on-tisza-final

The third day was spent on water.

Precisely, on one great river called Tisza.

tisza-rowing-down-the-river-final

We borrowed a motor-boat…

tisza-me-and-my-legs-on-the-boat-heading-forward-final

… and had a great time.

Especially me because I had to do absolutely nothing –  just look around, relax and take pictures.

Lucky me!

pumpkin-field

A pumpkin patch.

I had never seen that before.

I was totally amazed.

puszta-final-stroke

This is the Hungarian renowned puszta – a wide field with no hills or mountains in sight.

bekescsaga-guy-final

Our last but one day.

The town of  Bekescsaba.

The guy looked back at me and asked if he should move.

And I said “no please”.

Yummy…

bekescsaba-tulips-on-the-table-final

Lovely tulips.

szeged-morning-final

Warm sunny morning in Szeged.

szeged-gorgeous-temple

I had to show you this!

And then we headed back home to show you all the great pictures.
