On the way to Wroclaw - Transit in Budapest (x2)

As I told you in my previous post I "visited" Budapest on my way to Wroclaw. Obviously while going back Serbia from Wroclaw I passed through Budapest again. I timed by trains and buses "perfectly" - well, being a night person easy choice for me was to travel by night from Serbia and arive to Budapest in dawn. Well - luckily enough I didn't book a ticket to Krakov>Wroclaw 1 hour after the train arrives cause it arrived 55minutes late. And for return ticket unpopular bus that leave wroclaw in 4:30am was 15euros cheaper - perfect combination (also managed to propose two posts on the station.) :) First scenery that greeted me in Budapest.

I had about 10 hours to spend in Budapest(in total), and here will be some photos from Saturday rain promising morning and beautiful Saturday shiny evening. Left and right respectively

Budapest on the first sight looks like clean city with nice architecture and everything is in order - lots of police is taking care of that - never mess with Hungarian police.

So here is the first comparison: entrance to the pedestrian zone. Time difference is about 7 days and 12-13 hours.

Speaking of architecture I really like how the setting sun gives a totally new meaning to these words on St. Stephen's basillica :

If you are interested what it means - just google it, if you are that lazy drop a comment

Since the first post about Budapest contains majority of photos from the morning stop (shorter) I will focus on the street photography in the evening. Next photo I wanted to drop out, but just couldn't. How often do you see the whole family running? Just beautiful.

Just decided to put another comparison here - empty street and a frozen painter with a full garden of people and lots of beer.

Blooming with life in pedestrian zone, sun is mildly bathing everyone, inside every restaurant is violin and cello playing some music (also Hungarian dance (no. 5)). But just outside for those folks that like to walk and be on fresh air there is a live performance too. These musicians were playing Frank Sinatra - My way beautifully I would say!

And while on the first Saturday main attraction was military show, next one had a completely different connotation. World Cup Fan Zone in Budapest was overwhelmed with Croatian fans, and photo on the left was taken at the moment when Denmark scored in 3rd minute. was a pretty devastating blow for the crowd there. But we know how it ended (good luck in a couple of minutes!!!)

Proceeding to Wroclaw here are two shots I took somewhere in Slovakia from the bus... I guess even if I asked the driver wouldn't have understanding to stop a bus for such a great view and shot.

Last photo from Budapest is just below. But before that I must say - that looking at it, it is a nice city, architecture is beautiful there are some nice places to walk, but no places to chill - zero parks, or to get to one park/green area you need to march some long distances, I don't like that - and that's why for me Budapest is the crossroad and bypass station for other trips.

Well, I wasn't being completely honest about that, at the end of July I will be stated in Budapest again for few days it is Hungaroring time! See you all in the next town.
