Budapest Day 4 — a woman of leisure

After see­ing most of the main things in the city, I decided to spend the day just leisurely walk­ing in the neigh­bor­hood and of course vis­it­ing one of the famous baths of Budapest.
After a slow start in the morn­ing I scroll to the mar­ket, yet again, yes, indeed again. I ate at the first day’s […]

Budapest Day 3 — climbing and sweating through Buda

On the way though, I pass through the mar­ket again to eat some of those Langos I […]

Budapest Day 2 — walking through Pest

Amsterdam Day 3 — cloudy, rainy, cold and Red

The day looks gloomy when I wake up. Plus the fore­cast on my lap­top says rain. Not a great option for this trav­eler. I sleep in a bit and then make my way out.
It is pretty cold and windy on top. Not rain­ing yet, but it looks like it might any moment. I am headed to […]

Amsterdam Day 2 — sunny and wonderful

I woke up fairly early. Breakfast starts at 7am, so I went for it. It was pretty sim­ple one — bread, cold meats, cheese, condi­ments and drinks, but it was nice never the less.
Then I started my explo­ration of the city. They obvi­ously dont like to begin the day early, as the place was dead. The […]
