The second part of the Budapest pictures from this trip. I mentioned it in the post before: Since I have been so many times in Budapest I spare you the same pictures. I focused mainly on buildings this time. But if you want to see more of Budapest: All the Budapest Posts. The Széchenyi Chain…
Today I was the tour guide for Mitsos. The big walking tour of Budapest. From our place to the bakery on the corner and further to the river, over the bridge and up the Castle Hill. And from there in a circle back home again. Since I have been so many times in Budapest I…
Got up early and put the car in motion towards Hungary. On the way, I saw an old school-house that I wanted to picture so we stopped in Sebes for a coffee. Sebes Old school building from 1865: Education is freedom Church in Sebes – note the small towers! Some old guy closed the church…
The second day in Sibiu. We walk around the old town and enjoy the old streets with the old houses. And the blue sky of course. There is so much to see in this little part of the city that you need two days at last. Better make it more days and you have more…

After our party evening, we had a good nights rest and some coffee in the morning. After that, we hit the mountains behind Kalabaka to see the Meteora rocks and the monasteries up there. In the early 9th century monks started to stay in the caves there. It took another 500 years and they started…
