28 January 2019 This is Flora and behind her there is the skyline of Budapest. I went again to Wombat’s to use their PC to work on the blog and on my planning. This took many hours. Then I went to the Basilisk, but it was closed for a concert. So I went to a cat cafe nearby. On the way there was another manhole cover.
27 January 2019 Miklós was getting visitors and that’s why he asked me to move on. It took me a long time to pack my bag because I had taken everything out to reorganize everything.

When I asked Flora if I could stay with…

Marton even bought a ticket for me from a kid that was behind the…

No matter where I am those kind (technical) of things keep me fascinated. After breakfast…
