The travelling day. Budapest --> Krakow.

Still in Budapest.

Drove off to Puszta, some little place off the city area. Arranged for a Hungarian cowboy show. Got up the carriage and the horses took us on a little tour. Owner of this place is probably a fellow victim of "maths and anything associated with numbers dont like you" syndrome. These 2 poor horses had to carry like dunno how many of us. The other carriage has 4 horses with only maybe 6 passengers.

These people are inexperienced with tourists. They just suddenly started doing their stunts before we knew what was going on. First up, they led this very goodlooking white horse out. Very white! Supposed to be their best horse around. Just when we were whoo-ing and Ar-ing.. the horse walked back to the stable before doing anything. It was like "huh? thats all ar"

The horseshow.

A donkey! looks cute.

Daddy participated in the "whip the bottle over" game and he won a bottle of wine!

The prize.

The Dinner place.

We had this flaming apple dessert! Not too sure what is it actually.

Espresso. Pretty good! came with the dinner. But i dont want to stay up all night so i only had 2 pathetic teaspoons of it. Haha..

Next day was a travelling day. Drove past Slovakia again to get to Poland, Krakow.

Tatra Mountains, Slovakia.

Cold place.. who would think summer here is like 11 degrees. Supposed to be a ski resort in the winter. Had our lunch stop here.

My auntExcuse me Mr Strawman, that bag looks kind of familiar.. you sure that's yours... ? Doesnt seem to go with your outfit. Menu with alot of words. Multiple languages. Never seen a menu with more words than this. Hard time trying to spot the english description amongst all that German, Polish and what not.Onion soup. Yum! But salt is cheap.. if not free over at eastern europe. Everything is salty. Another photo stop.

The Oravsky Hrad Castle.

After that is travelling travelling and more travelling till we got to Krakow, Poland.

Budapest

That night we got to Budapest, we had dinner at this places where there is live performances. Da jie and Daddy got invited up the stage to do a dance. Haha.. so cute. Thank god they didnt choose me. Was sitting right beside my sis. So stressed when they came over! Not quite used to eating their traditional fare.. so we ended up Hungry in Hungary. Budapest was 2 different cities in the past, seperated by a river. Buda and Pest. Pest sounds like rodents and ka chuas i know.. but the locals dont pronounce it that way. I remember they pronoucing it like "Pesh". Maybe it is just my hearing problem. Cant remember what got over them to merge the 2 cities together but they did that anyway. So now it is one big place called Budapest! Capital of Hungary.

Thats Buda

Thats Pest!
Both of them connected by the Chain Bridge now.




Next morning was the Budapest City tour. Rain Rain Rain.. super heavily somemore.

Makes no sense to go on a city tour by sitting on the bus the whole day. So we braved the rain and went down to take a few pictures.

Heroes Square.

Heroes battling under a groomy sky.

Sis and Alvin battling the groomy sky. haha.. Cant remember where.Szent István church.

If i'm not wrong. Confused by all the churches and their names. Fisherman's BastionNice tiles, which doesnt look like it fits into the architecture style. But again, not like I know alot abt archi. Took one miserable module, by force.
The Lim Clan.

To be precise, there is a Lin amongst us. But same la.. 500 yrs ago... the Lims and the Lins are one big happy family.. haha.Model Lim's (as shown below) camera battery died on him. So he appointed Photographer Lim (yours truly) as his photographer of the day. Model Lim is very demanding!
Demand 1: I want to look like the statue, make sure you take the statue as well leh.
Outside the Church, Mummy and me.Somebody realise she got left out and ran back in for another picture.Gellért HillThe Blues.. with some black. So.. putting all the common factors tgt, you get the "blueblacks". The name suggests their violent tendencies. The peace loving non-blueblack is the one taking the picture.supposed to be behind the machine but i dont know how to look like i'm operating it. Lack of military training which i have no complaints of.
What are you saying, I dont speak your language. Zenzen Wakarimasen! Troublesome Model Lim strikes again!
Demand 378676: Aye.. I want to see the whole machine huh, must look like i am operating it.
Demand 378677: okok.. now i want close up. Demand 428717: Must make it look as if i am in deep thoughts.

More unpublished demands. Complain photographer too slow, throw slipper somemore! Tsktsk! Models nowadays.

This is the day Photographer Lim gets instructed all over the place by demanding Model Lim.

Slovakia+ Szentendre, Hungary.

Not quite one of the places on the itinerary but since we have to bypass this place, the tour guide thought he might as well be nice to us and show us something extra. So he got us a photostop at the capital of Slovakia. According to google, the capital of Slovakia is called Bratislava. But this is not a name i can remember. Doesnt even ring a bell.

The Dont know what castle.

Roomies. Yes, roomies for the entire 10 nights. I know I'm very bright in there. Bright by all definitions. :)

Cousin who always help me move house/hall.Supposed to be an artistic shot.

This picture is named : Looking at the river beats listening to u. Full force. 7 of us travelled tgt this time.

Daddy Mummy always arguing. Lunch stop. On my itinerary, this place is called Szentendre. Entered into Hungary grounds but not in Budapest yet, which is where we were supposed to go. Side track to some unimportant details: I had a very salty pasta at this restuarant!

All of us were supposed to look natural and pretend to be candid. But Alvin is caught smiling at the camera! Yeah.. my kind of thing. Sit back, relax, have a drink, watch the world go by.The whole street was lined with souvenir shops. Tourist trap in other words. Discovery of the trip: Mummy like to take pictures with horses. Danube River. The tour guide say until how nice how nice and got my expections up high. So wasnt exactly impressed by this river. Seen prettier ones in NZ. Maybe this river will look very pretty during other seasons. We went on a cruise down the Danube River, which took us to Budapest in an hour.Pretty Mummy.Pretty architecture at Buda or is this Pest.
