Eastern europe day 3

We go on a city tour in the morning on our 2nd day in budapest. Our first stop is the hero's square. It's a huge parade square flanked by art museums. There are statues of arc angel gabriel and the 7 heroes of hungary at the top of the square. We're off to dracula's castle next. :-)

Eastern europe day 2

We made our first sight seeing stop of the day at a little hillside fort called citadella. The fort offers a beautiful view of budapest and the river danube. It's a really pretty place surrounded by lots of greenery and a nice little park which would probably be really nice for an evening walk. Dinner is next. :-)

Eastern europe day 2

Now that the borders have been open, crossing over to Hungary is a quiet affair. Kinda wish that there was still a border crossing, would be cool to get a stamp in the passport. :-) The above is a photo taken soon after the crossing into Hungary. Apparently it is still not advisable to take photos of the border crossing so hence a photo of a field of flowers instead. Can't wait to get to Budapest. :-)

Eastern europe day 2

We've landed in Vienna, Austra. Am so glad to be back on land. Our first stop was at a super market to buy water. We won't be staying in Vienna though. We'll be making our way to Hungary first and will only be back to Vienna to explore the city on a later day. Later. :-)

Eastern europe day 2

Am transiting in Dubai International Airport now. It's a relatively messy airport in my opinion. We were taken via bus to the airport terminal and had to go through security to enter the transit area. The area was small and there were far too many. It was quite chaotic. We also had to take off watches and belts and put our passports in our bags as everything had to go through the x-ray. I didn't like having to take off my belt. :-( Anyway, above is a photo of the airport terminal. Not the most representative perhaps but i don't really feel up to walking around to take a better shot. So... Too bad. :-)

Eastern europe day 1... Sorta

The tour agency I signed up with called this day one which is a bit of a cheat since I only check in at the airport today and only fly in the early hours of tomorrow. Anyway, have arrived at the airport way too early. Traffic was really good. I thought it might be busy cuz of the up coming public holiday on Monday. Anyway, am at terminal one. Will fly Emirates which I hear is nice. Well that's it for now, may go look for a place to hang for a bit. Cheers. :-)

Snail.

Two days ago, i was on my way home when i say this little fellow making his way slowly along the pathway. He looked so cute, i decided to take a photo on my cell phone and share it with you. Anyway, tomorrow i go off on a 15 day tour of eastern europe. Hope it'll be fun. :-) good night. :-)
