Bye bye Budapest

It was a quick 3 days in Budapest with only a bit of free daylight. Even though I had been here before years ago there was so much still to see. We spent the first half of the day yesterday at a town called Szentedre which is along the Danube. It was a bit touristy side but still worth the trip. It was good to see more of Hungarian life outside the capital.

If I have one regret it is that I did not manage to make it to any of the famous baths and I probably keep hearing how I am now an epic failure from the rest of the group.

This morning we are off to Bratislava to meet with Slovnaft, the national oil refinery company, and then on to Prague in the evening. Still have not managed to sleep much but I guess that is the beauty of a 6 hour bus ride.

Will try to post more details about some of our company meetings in Budapest as soon as I get some more free time. Traveling without a laptop is both freeing and a little frustrating. The keyboards in Hungary have extra character keys.... I still can not find the 'at' symbol anywhere.

  1. The baths were awesome. You definately missed out. It was great to experience the multiple hot baths and saunas as well as see all the European swimwear.
