Budapest



Budapest has been amazing. I took this picture on the Buda side from the main castle. Beautiful city, with the feel that it is only the tip of the ice burg in what it will become tourist wise in the future. Much like Prague felt in 99. The Pest side is busy, with a few wonderful walk streets, and many cafes. The Buda side is where it really gets great to look at. Huge homes, tree lined streets, and older architecture.


The bad news today, was I somehow managed to get TWO parking tickets in one day. The 1st one was in the morning out side our hostel. The 2nd was due to our not having enough change, and the machine only took change. In a country where its 200 to 1 exchange rate, the machines should take bills or credit cards. SO we tried to make the 2 hour bus trip around the city in the 2 hours we had paid for. No suprise to see the cop writing the ticket when we got back, about 20 mins after our slip expired. Ah well. 6000k in parking tickets in one day! Otherwise Budapest has been outstanding.

At least you weren't cited for parking in front of your own home by a prick named Schaefer :)

You still park like it's the Manhattan-freakin'-Village. Those things are legit in the rest of the world, y'know.
