Got up early and put the car in motion towards Hungary. On the way, I saw an old schoolhouse that I wanted to take a picture of, so we stopped in Sebes for a coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some old guy closed the church gates when we wanted to get in. They have a lunch break here! Reminds me of Italy, where many churches are closed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e2pa Ro\u0219ie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e2pa Ro\u0219ie (Romanian for “red ravine”) is a natural monument in Alba County about 4 kilometers north of Sebe\u0219. We tried to find an easy road that goes there, but somehow we got lost, and it took us forever to get up there. Finally, we reached the parking and hiked up the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"On <\/picture>
On the way out from the Canyon, we followed the wrong road along a river with no bridge for way too long. Even the cows can not make it! But in the end, we found our way out and got back on the road towards Budapest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do with the last money? You stop at one of the last shops and get some cigarettes for friends and some beer for the road! CiUC beer – it was hot in the car, and the beer was cold = win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budapest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As always, we had to find a safe parking space for the car. All that Olive Oil and Greek food inside. Not easy if you do not know a place. I used booking.com and was able to find a cheap place with safe parking behind metal gates. A Chinese guy who has two apartments rents out rooms on AirBnb and booking. What a world! After we checked in, we had a stroll to the river and back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count Zichy N\u00e1ndor. He initiated the canalization of several rivers in the Transdanubia region. The Count built his palace in the palace district of Budapest in front of the Jesuit Church. This part of the city was called “Little Vatican” because of the high number of Catholic institutions. Zichy supported the Jesuit order until his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
