Our journey from Sighisoara to Budapest on Wednesday lasted an epic 9 and a half hours, at first through Romanian countryside where you could easily be watching the farmers of 100 years ago, and then through the incredibly flat Hungarian Great Plain ( I suppose the name is a bit of a give away). Despite lots of chocolate and much dozing, we were pretty sick of 20 Questions by the time we eventually arrived in Buapest. We got to the Art Hostel around 9pm after a crazy tram ride during which I think we defrauded the Hungarian public transport system (the slightly drunk driver said we could have it as a souvenir....). After a nutritious and satisfying meal of cuppasoups and biscuits, and much chatting with other travellers, we turned in for the night.
As we're staying here a week, we took the opportunity the next morning to do a lot of washing and stock up on food to cook for ourselves in the well equipped little kitchen. We really noticed the difference in stock at the local supermarket compared to the ones we've been using in Romania - there is so much more choice here, especially of fruit and veg. In Romania, broccoli was classed as an exotic product. We managed to buy frozen peas for the first time, which made Sarah very happy. All practical considerations having been dealt with, we teamed up with a lovely German medic called Susan, who was also staying at the hostel, to explore Budapest.
