Budapest minitour by bike. We had time to see:
- Margit Island. It’s a park that looks like Hyde Park/London – Central Park/New York. Big, with smooth pavements and lots of green spaces, with jogging tracks and spa/swimming pools. If I had something like this in Timisoara, that is the place where the skaters would gather.
- The Buda Castle (again) – with the fort and the churches.
- The Vaci Utca – aka the main street from Budapest (only one end, because you have to walk it by foot).
We met 4 Polish guys from Cracow. The were going by bike, from Cracow to Transylvania (Brasov/ Sibiu/ Sighisoara/ Cluj). That’s about 750 km. They were planning to go around 100km/day.
I took the wrong way 2 times. The first time, instead of going to the Nyugatyi Railway Station, I got to the Kelety one. (Pretty big difference). Second time, instead of going left on the Arpad Bridge, I went strait ahead. This time was simpler to follow the correct route.
