What a day!!!!!!!!! It started with no breakfast at the hotel, fortunately we had some pre-packed croissants and apple juice which we devoured whilst sitting outside on chairs made out of pallets. On the plus side the sun was shining and we did get titty out of the alarmed hotel at 8.30 as they promised. So off we went and boy did my legs ache, so Donna's must ache as well. The plan was instead of having one day off in Budapest and wear our legs out touring the city on foot to have two days off (Donna really wanted a week as her body aches). So we booked somewhere more expensive than we woud have liked with the benefit of a swimming pool, steam room, etc. Our tired legs were gad to finally arrive in Budapest. Titty had to be uncoupled into two pieces to get her into the lift and up to our apartment. Then the first mission was to find a bike shop to get our buckled rear wheel rebult with new spokes or trued up at the minimum. The guy in the bike shop took a careful look at our wheel and pointed out that it had a large crack in the rim - oh b*****. Now the technical stuff for all the cyclists reading - They didn't have and couldn't get a 48 spoke rim to replace our cracked one - they phoned other shops in Budapest to no avail. We had invested in good quality wheels - Andra 30 - 26 inch 48 spoke rims with ceramic facing (for swiss top blue brake blocks) with DT Alpine III 2.5mm spokes 4X. With the Budapest bike shops drawing a blank on getting us sorted we phoned JD Tandems in North Yorkshire - they are building us a new wheel and sending it tomorrow but what with the weekend it probably won't be here until Monday, so our 3 night stay has now been extended into a 6 night stay. We can't check out and go somehere cheaper as we have had to use this address for the new wheel to be posted to! So Donna get's to rest our legs after all.
