I'm here!
Finally I stopped a moment in front of the PC to tell you, but also show you, our trip to Budapest.
different from how they are used in my travels, this I once entrusted to a travel agency, which in turn is assigned to a tour operator very good! And the only thing I regret is the fact that we could choose to take the plane ... imagine that the trip ... meatloaf.
We left Perugia on 1 January with a train that took us to Bologna, where we've been, just not to get out of breath on the morning of departure (scheduled for 06.00) and where we made a detour to escape center, with the lights of Christmas has a magical atmosphere ...
La Piazza del Nettuno with the same name fountain and two towers, and Asinelli Garisenda
And finally, on January 2nd, we are ready to face the endless hours of travel that separate Bologna and Budapest to be exact long the journey took 11 hours!
After naps or longer, after passing through Slovenia, which makes us beautiful memories come to mind, we arrived in Budapest at night. And we could not wait to be able to stretch their legs all the time they were caught between the seats and backpacks. ...
The next morning we waited for what would be our guide for the next three days, short but intense, Erzsebet, or Elizabeth! The first
visit we made was to Parliament in Budapest, one of the highest buildings in the city, wrapped in a light mist that made it even more magical.
We then continued our tour by visiting the St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent István), not to be confused with our martyr, the saint in question is the first king of Hungary who proceeded to convert the population to Christianity.
We then arrived at the Heroes' Square . In this wonderful place, which unfortunately I could not make a whole picture, there are representatives from all the rulers of Hungary since Árpád founder King.
passed the Heroes' Square was waiting for us the Vajdahunyad Castle. A beautiful castle looking a bit '... Draculesco ... pass me the term.
in which, beyond the tourist sights, there holds the statue of Anonymous writer who wrote the Gesta Hungarorum in Hungary, in the news that recounted the story of the great Hungarian families. This writer, also known as the notary of King Bela, it seems to bring good luck, in any field, to anyone who touches his pen .... I could let this opportunity slip away??
Vajdahunyad Leaving the castle, and after a lunch in a restaurant from the Hungarian cuisine, accompanied us to visit the Fishermen's Bastion , in my opinion one of the most beautiful things in the city.
Compared to the city, the Fishermen's Bastion is located in an elevated viewpoint and from the terraces that form is what you can see ...
It is a breathtaking spectacle?? But here ... Why It Does Not soon after, moving towards the Citadel, with the day now set and the lights of the city swarms, this is what occurred in our eyes ...
E 'was a bit' difficult to be able to take pictures at night, was the first time that I attempt, the pictures are successful, but not as well as I wanted, above this is one that I like more. Having had the digital SLR ... ... ....
After this long day we took a drink in a cellar in Tokaj, a typical Hungarian wine (alas, they took the first), where we admired the largest cask, obviously hand painted, in the world: it contains the beauty of 1014 hectoliters! Just look 'that work ...
Ok In this photo you do not understand anything of what is recorded, but it was only to show the proportion between the barrel and the guide is below to the left ...
actually depict scenes engraved in the barrel one by one the different stages of harvest, from harvest to transport, from beatings to bottling, and contain a lot of people. These two scenes that I liked more.
Here ends the first, beautiful and intense, day in Budapest. And since this post to make him choose between the best pictures, scan them, and adapt them to write everything it took more than a week, for the time I leave .... I'm going to prepare and prepare for the next part of the trip.
Good weekend and good creativity at all!
