Budapest tour

On Sunday we left the bikes at the campsite and took the Metro into the city centre. This was quite an adventure as we couldn't make head or tail of any of the language. We had problems getting out of the main station as we didn't know the word for "exit"!! Anyway after a bit of wandering around lost we went on a "hop on hop off" bus tour around the city. Hopped off for some scenic views at the citadel on Gelerts hill and again around the castle. It took us all day and was well worth it. It gave us a feel for the city and some ideas of where to visit. Here's a few views around the River Danube.




Back at the campsite in the evening we found we had company. Two Serb bikers turned up although they were at pains to explain that one was a Hungarian Serb and the other a pole. We got on well and after half an hour were invited to go back to stay with them in Serbia on Wednesday! We were tempted but its outside the EU and none of our insurance would have covered us. There's also a Danish couple here who speak very good English unlike the Serbs. we had a long chat in pidgin , English and bits of German over a few beers - great fun!
