Fourth week Viena to Budapest

Monday the 6^th of April
I rode from Viena to Bratislava in Slovakia. The weather was a bit mixed, but good at all. Here are some impressions :)

Citypark in Viena. :)

Along the Danube.

Nice clouds :)

A castle shortly bevor Bratislava

This was an animal in the woods I never seen before. Maybe someone knows what it is? I tried to feed it, but it feign death.

An old mansion.

Bratislava close in front of me :)

Passing the border to Slovakia. 

Old tank blockades from the war.

An old bunker.

"A bridge with an UFO on it" was the description of the way. YES now I know what you mean. :P

Beverly Bratislava :P

The castle of Bratislava.

The UFO again.

Arrived at Ivans home. Here we cooked together. 

Ivans working desk with a funny engineering for a third monitor and his cool headphones. :D

Thuesday the 7th of April.

Ivan helped me with my stuff and we said good bye. I rode trough a little part of Bratislava.

A part of Bratislava.

The day was a bit boring cause I rode always along a canal. In the beginning the wind came from the front, riding was very exhausting and in about 3 hours I only had about 30 KM on my clock. I was depressed. After I rode wrong in the evening and came in a branch of the Danube, where the road ends my feeling wasn't better. I decided to put up my tent and sleep costless this night. I startet to make a fire, eat something of my bear-garlic and enjoy the sunset. It is really impressive, how good a man can feel, warmed by the self made fire and eating the self collected things out of the woods. :P :D

Duckparking along the Danube 

Ivan showed me fresh bear-garlic and told me where I can finde it beside the road. Really cool! :)

Lunch for today - Nudelklumpen with bear-garlic.

Did somebody know for what this round balls are? I saw them a view times on the way.

My home for today.

Could be worser than here. :)

Feuer gemacht!

Tuesday the 7^th until Thursday the 9^th of April

Tomorrow I'm going to meet Volker, who is visiting me. He searched a place on my road, where I can have a cheap rest and send me to Tata in Hungary. As I arrived, I was really impressed by the beauty of this place. Tata has a small castle, a lake and a lot of holiday resorts. Usually Volker an me wanted to camp at the Danube, but we decided to stay at this nice place. Was really nice days! But have a little look :)

Riding again. :)

Little horses standing beside the road.

Found this dead hawk and stole his feather.

Maybe this nature thing gone through with me a bit, but the feathers are really nice. :)

First pictures in Hungary. :)

Trys with the zoom-objective.

Tata from far away.

Here I decided, that I should stay here longer. :)

Next day I had Hungarian salami for breakfast. Delicious! :)

Next day -Volker arrived in the afternoon. Thanks for your visit, I really enjoy the time with you! :)

Something like grilling in the afternoon. :)

Friday the 10^th of April and the weekend
This day I was riding to Budapest and looking forward to see my colleagues Alex, Bertalan, Daniel, Konstantin and Ralf, how are on a weekend trip to see the city. Volker and me had breakfast at the see again and said goodbye. The 73 KM today were really hard, cause there were many small steeply hills. It was a hot day which makes riding event more exhausting, but I wont weight down the sunshine after all the rainy days! :P

Steepy roads on my way to Budapest.

Nice color play. :)

Sun sun sun!

FINALY ARRIVED IN BUDAPEST! :)

After I arrived in Budapest I startet in the night with Ralf, who arrived first from the group. The others arrived time by time and we had a great night! Bert, who lived in Budapest made the tourist guide so we came to the enjoyment to eat without mistakes at the good places and see the important things with nice background infos. Was a really great time! Thanks for that guys! Here are some impressions for you :)

Inside here is a little food cornor, where you can get delicious food. I tryed the typical Hungarian cheese Spätzle. ;P 

Here you see the Scimpla, which I show you in the latest part of this post. :) Really nice place!

At the Bors we had a really great breakfast. They have a daily card with nice soups, bread and fresh drinks for fair prices.

I ate the ham-baguett. :)

At the Danube, behind Ralf and me, you see the castle. :)

In front of the big Basilika.

Bert showed us the best icecream shop in Budapest!

Everybody is happy about his icecream...

...even so happy that a short moment of love was in the air!

Went up on the Basilika (or down at this moment.. :P).

The parliament of Budapest is the second biggest in Europe, behind the westminster abbey in London.

In the night, after a meal we went to a club. Here they had a cool decoration and they can open and close the roof. Really nice! :)

Here the entrance of the club. The other pictures I had to censor in case of to much porno! :P

Next day we went to the spar. Here you see the house of terror.

Security dog.

After the spar we had great burgers....

Goa Mama :D

Then the guys had to leave and we said goodbye. I checked in to a hostel and had a great sleep this night! :P

Monday the 13th of April

I meet Martin again and we had a nice day in Budapest. He rode with me through the city, we had a look in the Szimpla which really impressed me. Here are a view pictures of it!

Heellloooo :D

You have different things to interact with. Here Martin turned on the wheel. :P

The garden.

Here a little map. Every room with its own surprises.

Other way of table-soccer D:

This room was the one with the most interaction. Here you had a board, to press some buttons which all had an other funny function. :)

Here the board. :)

Fear and loathing in Budapest. :)

Parliament at night. 

In the afternoon we cooked together with Martins girlfriend Aurelie a tasty risotto. After this we went out in the Morrisons2, cause it was Monday and Monday is Morissons day. :D

One on one kicker :D

A Monday in the Morrisons2. This is only the relaxing part of the club. It has two floors in ground and two more in the cellar, one with karaoke. Awesome! xD 

Thanks Martin and Aurelie for this great day and night! :)

Wednesday the 15th of April. 

I still hang around in Budapest. Today I want to checkout and after I get my money out of the ATM a man beside me on the automat asked me, if I want to change my 10.000 Forint with his both 5.000..... I turned around and asked the woman behind me "are this forint?". She said.. yes, looks like. So I changed it and became 10.000 "something". Event the employee of the bank couldn't tell me, what currency it is. So now I will go to the police and advert the guy. After this I will start to ride to Belgrad and enjoy the sun on my bike. :)

Which you all a great start in the summer!
