13 February 2019 Budapest – The Netherlands It is a weird day . I have until 14:00 hours to spent in the city and then I need to be on the bus. I had breakfas at the hostel and then I went to a few things in the city that I wanted to see but didn’t when I was here. Malicious pleasure was one of them (this car). I also found a manhole cover that I hadn’t seen….
12 February 2019 Kalocsa – Fajsz or not Piroska brought me back after breakfast to Kalocsa, to the place where she had picked me up two days ago. Then I walked into Kalocsa. There was this abandoned guard house. Then I walked onto some sort of memorial square. I went into the direction of the church. Which was unfortunately locked (like most of them in Hungary). I wanted another pilgrimage stamp. So this is the second best. After…
2 February 2019 Budapest – Érd In Érd I met up with Csaba whom I have been in contact with for a while. He has walked to Santiago de Compostela 4 years ago. It was so nice to speak with hem because he had similar experiences as me. For example having chunks of clay under your shoes and how annoying that is and that if you take it off, it comes back in two minutes. Wet shoes and other stuff….
1 February 2019 It seems so easy to send an package, but in Hungary it’s, at least for me, not so easy. I had stuffed everything in a box and wrote the address on it. But I hadn’t used the right box because it was not a standard Magyar Posta box, so I needed to buy a box and then filled out a complete form. Then I needed to pay again because I couldn’t pay the box and the sending…
31 January 2019 I spent almost the whole day sending requests for the route from Budapest to Novi Sad. So it was a very long and boring day. But it felt as an relief that I have done it.
30 January 2019 False violin: In Budapest there is this old men who’s playing the violin, but it’s not that great and I have seen him in multiple places. He is always bent over forwards and looks a bit crippled. I did not want to keep this from you so hit the play button. I went to one of the thermal baths and spent many hours relaxing and being lazy. This is the only photo I managed to take. On…
29 January 2019 I went to the store to get a swimsuit and then I took metro 2 to the end point. It is a very long line. So I misjudged how long it would take, so when I arrived there I could only go to the toilet because I wanted to do a free walking tour. So I got back on the line and made it just in time (7 min late) and the group had not left…
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. I also spent time on my planning. When I left at Miklós I thanked him for looking after me and he was so kind to drop me of at Flora, where I would stay tonight. When I asked Flora if I could stay with…
26 January 2019 castle district I visited the Labirintus a big cave system in the same geological formation as the hospital in the Rock. It took me a few hours to walk through it.
