Budapest day 2 It is 11:10pm and we are just now home. We have had a massive day sightseeing. The big bus hop on hop off was a great success, though I am terribly sun burnt. I feel like we have seen so much today, one building has begun to merge into the others. The Fisherman's bastion was amazing as was Buda castle and Parliament House. Tonight we went on a night tour and got to see Budapest lit up. It was really quite beautiful. We have successfully navi...

Budapest Day One We had an easy morning wondering around Pecs. Not much was open so we headed back to our accommodation, loaded the car and headed off. We drove through some amazing countryside seeing a sea of yellow with field after field of sunflowers. Nelly took us on a beautiful journey and we soon arrived in Budapest. After a cup of tea we headed out to start exploring. Another amazing town steeped in history. We walked along the river seeing all the rive...

That's what one does of cause, just drives through a new country in search of what you need.

Thanks to Jeremy's help (from Australia) we were able to find a Michelin tyre place...

Unfortunately the tyre was not a common size so we were trekking all over Ceske Budejovice all to no avail. By 3pm we gave up the search and continued our travels arriving just outside Cesky Krumlov desperate for some lunch. Walking through Ces...

Prague day two After bending my glasses last night the first job off the rank was to find an optometrist...we were sent in various directions but finally found the optician who fixed them (with a warning 'at my own risk'). She did it free of charge and they are now better than they were before. Once that was done we boarded the hop on hop off tour bus and began hearing all about Prague, the different buildings, squares and its political history. There was so mu...
