Budapest days

I'm in Budapest travelling with an old school friend we're just having a few days away with staying in a really nice apartment in the Jewish quarter.  its full of funky artwork and pictures and paintings on the walls it's in a classic Budapest Courtyard building.  we are on the second floor, actually it's a bit like Fort Knox I'ts got a grill with two locks on it, a door into a communal area that locks and then the door into our flat so we are definitely very safe...


we've been out for a wander and a coffee in a cafe sat on the street so it's real cafe Culture it's warm not like Northumberland Cafe culture probably not like Bath cafe culture ... it is nice to feel some nice warm sunshine.

I'm writing this speech to text so will be very little punctuation but it does mean there are spaces in between the words which I don't seem to be able to manage when I type it on the tablet. one of the problems I'm having now is that blogger has come up all in Hungarian and I'm trying to remember what translates to what as I can't find how to turn it into English.

Tomorrow we will go explore properly but today has been a very long day both of us starting at about 5 o'clock in the morning so we are having a quiet night and will probably go to the castle tomorrow

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
