Budapest Day 4 – a woman of leisure
After seeing most of the main things in the city, I decided to spend the day just leisurely walking in the neighborhood and of course visiting one of the famous baths of Budapest.
After a slow start in the morning I scroll to the market, yet again, yes, indeed again. I ate at the first day’s [...]

Budapest Day 3 – climbing and sweating through Buda
Today I am off to the Buda side of the city, which is on the other side of the Danube. I have some idea of where and what I want to see and with my trusty map, I am off.
On the way though, I pass through the market again to eat some of those Langos [...]

Budapest Day 2 – walking through Pest
The morning starts mellow. I woke up early and had some coffee. Then I decide on my direction for the day and take off. The city is waking up, coffee places and restaurants are opening. I am headed to the Great Market Hall (Nagy Vasarcsarnok), which is one of the largest market halls in Europe. [...]

Netherlands to Hungary and why pot doesnt make for friendlier people
I had a good rest and wake up at about 6:30am. I dont feel like packing my bags, so browse the Internet and when 7am comes around I move down to the lobby part to have some breakfast and coffee. I stick around for awhile and sort out pictures and read a bit about Budapest [...]

Amsterdam Day 3 – cloudy, rainy, cold and Red
The day looks gloomy when I wake up. Plus the forecast on my laptop says rain. Not a great option for this traveler. I sleep in a bit and then make my way out.
It is pretty cold and windy on top. Not raining yet, but it looks like it might any moment. I am headed [...]

Amsterdam Day 2 – sunny and wonderful
I woke up fairly early. Breakfast starts at 7am, so I went for it. It was pretty simple one – bread, cold meats, cheese, condiments and drinks, but it was nice never the less.
Then I started my exploration of the city. They obviously dont like to begin the day early, as the place was dead. [...]

Japan to Holland – and I love Japan Airlines
After a nice rest I wake up to my day of flight a bit more rejuvenated. I need to go to the post office to drop the box for the girls and it opens at 9am. My train to the airport leaves at 9:38am and takes longer than an hour. My flight is almost at [...]

Tokyo Day 4 – Tsukiji Fish Market, Ginza, Shabu Shabu and things come undone
This turned out pretty long, maybe longer than you would care to read, but that is what happens when you write without any time pressure in the train to the airport and in the plane.
Better grab a coffee and drug the children down
_________
This morning I was supposed to wake up fairly early to [...]

The dog ate my homework
Hi everyone,
No update from yesterday, as I just didnt get around to it. I thought I would put you last
The pictures are ready, just the story needs to be finished and I will definitely do that on the plane, if not at the airport when I wait for my next flight.
I leave in about [...]

Tokyo Day 3 – temples, market, outskirt neighbourhood, europe, observatory and very sore legs
I didnt sleep good, maybe because I was overtired, but at least it was not terrible. This morning I thought I better miss the morning rush and waited until close to 9am to leave for the day. The Station seemed very much more manageable, although it could have to do with me getting used to [...]
