Let’s not talk about sleep as it has the potential to become a real focal point, and I am trying to not let it. We shall just say I need more of it, at night time, for longer periods.
Yesterday you will recall my lens broke on my camera and despite all efforts to get a cab to a camera shop not one cab in all of Budapest would pick us up. Too much traffic and too busy and the store closed at 7pm. So Having waited for half an hour, after being told ten minutes, and then no one coming at all my first world world problem gained far to much importance and I of course sulked. I would not have my camera for the night tour or for the morning tour to Sventendre. To top it all of the Barman seemed not to notice me, More than once I might add. At the time I thought he was a jerk but now maybe it was a glare I was giving and he was just frightened. Hey I was tired. Very, very, tired. So let’s just move on.
Beautiful day in Budapest today and we had booked to go on a tour to Sventendre , then on our return go to a camera shop and then visit the big beautiful castle you saw in the night photos yesterday then back to the ship for 4.30pm sailing.
Sventendre was about 30 Minutes away by coach (ooops I mean bus, I have already become chain cruise tourist person) which is little town just outside of Budapest. The history of Hungary just like most of Europe is fascinating and this town was no different.
It had lampshades strung across the streets in all sorts of colours and fabrics. They change them for all white at Xmas and winter. They were colourful now for spring. There is a little museum there called the micro-museum. You look at the exhibits through a microscope. It was quite literally amazing. A chess board with all the pieces in the eye of a needle. The worlds smallest book with 6 pages on a pin head.
All in all a pleasant meandering morning. Back to the ship and call a cab to take us to the camera place and eureka the cab came. Traffic was really slow as it is a long weekend here so it took forever. The Digi-cam didn’t have the same lens but the guys rang round, and came up with solutions, admitted it wasn’t the best solution, despite trying but a solution non the less. A new lens, with a narrow field and no zoom but at least a lens. Thanks.
The realisation that we would no longer make it to the spectacular palace on the hill had now dawned as the traffic was appalling. We jumped on a bus as that seemed the quickest mode but after we ran out of bus lane we too became part of the gridlock. A decision was made to simply abandon the bus and walk the long road back to the ship.
We made it back for departure and a couple of G and T’s for me and beers for him and the feet and limbs revived themselves just in time for safety drills. Yipeee.
Cruising along the river now, the sun is setting and it’s all very idyllic. I shall sign off now but first I have to share these photos of my favourite statue whom I met the first night, I have no idea of her name or the artist whom sculptured her but I nicknamed her tall, skinny lady. It’s not because she’s skinny that makes her my favourite its her walk and face and stance. She is awesome. You go girl.

tips for Budapest
if you break your camera go to Digi-cam, the guys there were brilliant and despite speaking little English (but far more than my Hungarian) were more than helpful.
Budapest = the s is pronounced “sh” so it’s pronounced “Budapesht” easy on the “t”.
visit the micro -museum
spend another day here you will need it.
