So ……. we took the train from Krakow in Poland to Budapest in Hungary and passed through the Republic of Slovakia without even knowing it. How times have changed since 1989. Travelling light as usual.
The couchettes were excellent tho’ the clickity clack, clickity clack does not have the same soporific effect upon me as it does for Sharon.
First impressions of Budapest are very favorable. We negotiated the notorious cab-sharks at the airport with the help of another (Hungarian) traveler who graciously phoned a cab company for us. Interesting that SIM cards do not appear to be universally and easily available. In China they have dispensing machines at the airport.
The apartment we are in is HUGE …. larger than many of the cottages in Rosedale. A well-respected café below us and a pub just down the road. Full agenda of course. Tons to see and a huge city so we bought underground/tram week passes. Sharon’s cousin and his wife have lived here for 12 years so we plan to spend much of the day with them.
