Well, this is my last full day in budapest. Its been a really great time. Of the 3 travel buddies ive made, one was hungarian. and last night he took us to his uncles house for a traditional home-style hungarian meal. First came the welcome drink, palinka. a fruit flavored brandy. then a salad. then a "push the food down drink... palinka. Next was Dinner, with bread, Nokedli( pasta type dish), Perkote( Goulash style beef stew) and some kind of potatoe dish that i cant remember the name to. It was all delicious! then another "push down the food" drink. Some [View Full Entry]

Just got back from the spa. Just as good as the last, but still no massage. i underestimated how many people were into it and would have had to hang around for 4 more hours. ill live. the thermal baths mixed withe saunas and steam rooms are enough to transform you into a mound of jello. its starting to rain now for the first time since i left the states. so the outdoor club is out of the question. looks like fat moe's speak easy is the conscensus. dinner tonight is gypsy food. then tomorrow its of to the bus station, [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Budapest today via a 3 hour train from Vienna. Vienna was beautiful but quite touristy and expensive. I'm glad we only spent a couple nights there. So far Budapest seems pretty cool and prices are a little cheaper (phew!). We want to check out these public baths (like giant hot springs) and a lady on the train told us about these nice islands near here that we can get to by renting little electric cars or something. I'm sure we'll keep busy. Alex (the guy from England that we met in Prague) is still with us, but is [View Full Entry]

....maanantai-iltana muuten käveltiin Váci Utcalle Szent Mihály Templomille (kirkolle, joka on alunperin rakennettu jo 1230, mutta sittemmin tuhoutunut muutamaan kertaan ja tämä viimeisin versio on 1700-luvun alusta) ja kuunneltiin aivan ihana barokkikonsertti. Soittajat nuoria ja todella hyviä. Ohjelmassa Bachia, Tartinia, Telemannia sekä Händelia. Viulu, sello ja cembalo. Täällä on todella loistava kulttuuritarjonta! Aion mennä joku päivä Botticellin näyttelyyn, joka on Sankareiden aukion isossa taidemuseossa. Tänään lähdimme aikaisin aamulla ajamaan Bag-nimiseen kylään, n. 35km Budapestista koilliseen. Siellä tapasimme Zusan ( Zollen kaveri) ja hänen kanssaan lähdimme retkelle vuoristoon. Ajoimme maastoautolla tosi kuoppaisia teitä (oikeastaan teitä ei ollut, vaan ajoimme peltojen reinoja ja [View Full Entry]

I just got back from one of the bath houses they have out here, and my god! the thermal baths were around 70 degrees. so relaxing. i soaked for around 3 hours and turned into a prune. the gellert thermal bath is one of the more famous of the bath houses here. the hot spring water contains calcium, magnesium, sulfate-cloride, and floride ions. being in the open air pools outside, just made me want to go right to sleep. unfortunely its a holiday and the massage rooms were all closed. that would have really capped the whole experiance. the steam rooms [View Full Entry]

Täällä ollaan jo kuin kotona! Jaana käy Kauppahallissa ostoksilla ja kokkaa kaikenlaisia dieettiimme sopivia keitoksia... Eilen tehtiin Co au vin a la Montignac, paellaa ja uunikasviksia. Kaikista tuli oikein onnistuneita. Huomenna syötetään kukkoa Mamalle ja Nagy Mamalle. Mammat saapuu klo 13... Maanantai on täällä II Helluntaipäivä ja siten Pyhä. Kaikki on kiinni! Tänään oli Helluntai ja äitienpäivä. Me tehtiin retki Tonavanmutkaan Zebegenyn kaupunkiin. Sää oli ihana ja lämpöä autonmittarin mukaan 22 astetta. Filmattiin paljon. Käveltiin myös Kiraly Rét -reittiä ylös Börzsöny-vuoristossa. Jaana satutti varpaansa ja nyt siinä on mustelma... ei kuitenkaan murtunut! Tosi kiva päivä! Illaliseksi syötiin kukkoa... ja todettiin sen [View Full Entry]
