Ok so that's me home and all unpacked. All the fridge magnets are around and about, I think we've a couple we cant find, but am sure they will pop up at some point. Monica also has unpacked, she had a big huge bag so a bit more to do than I did. Final thoughts and thanks time I reckon. So many memories from the trip, it really has been wonderful to visit so many places, experience so many cultures and places, good and bad. The Mozart Concert will of course rema...

And what a welcome back it is as well ! The flight was fine and no issues at all. 3 lady stewardesses, none of them really going to win Miss Wizz Air 2014 to be honest, but it was better than 4 bloke stewards on Easyjet on the way out. No hen party's, no stag party's. Collect bags, and head off out of the terminal to the bus stop taking us back to the car park. We meet the most miserable bunch of people ever ! Our driver is Mr 'Elf and Safety mate and lets it k...

We walked, took a while to be honest, but as with everything here in Budapest, if you make the effort, you are well rewarded. Surprisingly things were priced quite ...

A walk along the banks of The Danube is as romantic as it gets really and after the chocolate festival, me and Monica took quite a long walk at night. From the Buda side of the river, we crossed the beautiful Chain Bridge - we were lucky that it was closed to traffic tonight and it really was so busy with couples enjoying the romance that was being presented to them by the city. We walked past the Parliament Building and on past Margret Bridge, walking parallel...
