Budapest

So, soon 2 years maaried – true to the.. well .. soon 2 year old tradition, we headed abroad for the celibration. last year we did Texas, this year its Hungary.

As we say – out on trip, never grunpy. (That translates pretty bad, sounds better in Norwegian)

And speaking of Norwegian, they of course where 40 minutes late. not to bad, its below the usual delay. (why is not my iphone putting capital letter after “.” anymore??)

Slept all the way, and woke up at touchdown to a beautifull sunny and warm day. Excelent

Aprox 7420 huff’s to city center, not to bad – 23 kilometers ride. the taxi driver was a controlled agressive driver with a “ok” understanding of traffic rules.. so we bonded fine! 🙂

Maren had us booked in at Gellert, a 100 year old Hotell, well known for its adjoining spa/pool setup, temered baths n so on.. massages.. spa stuff. but a lot of pools. I did not know any of this, I did not even know where we where headed before we ehere underway to the airport.

we had a quick meal. beer, and decided to head straight for the pool area. last nights concert with Glucifer, in Oslo, still lingers. so a beer to set things straight, and a long soak sounded like a good plan.. and so it was.

the hotel guest gets 50% off, so its 10 EUR for a day pass. has your general swimingpool, 40centigrade pool, 33 centigrd.. etc. Perfect for us, that started the day sitting inside Hobbes (thats the car), eaiting for the ice to melt of the windows.

finished of the day by crossing the river snd getting som gulash.. or goulash-like, i dont think it was proper gulars, but super tasty. Im planning 4 days of goulash testing, so.. decent start.

Beautifull city, well get up early tomorrow, and see if the pools are a bit less crowded – and then do a full day of sightseeing.. and find a few brew bars i have noted down on google maps.

Budapest

For our second wedding aniversary we are going to Budapest. It was my year to do the planning so Trond was clueless as to where he was going up until the ride to the airport.

Lisbon, Portugal

Ai, where to begin. We arrived yesterday – flying in to my brothers wedding on saturday.

We checked into our hotel, The Independete Terrace and Suires.. And hostel to.. They have the whole setup from backpackers to suite preferers. And of course – a couple of drink to start.

We did early dinner at l’entrecote, thats the same chain resturant as we visited in Bordaux. They pretty much just do fries and meat 🙂 with a killer sauce! Great stuff – and a nice area, close to the hotel.

Met up with the rest of the wedding guests at a place called.. Chineese Pavillion (or something like that), a real cool english style pub with some asian inspiration. Smoking allowed inside.

Anyways. A bit of a hangover today :), but managed to do some sightseeing. Post some pics later on.. Now.. Lunch

Even more cheese shopping

Comming over the mountains from the westcoast, you have plenty of oppertunities to get your hands on goat cheese.

This othe place we visited produced their cheese in ironpans, the first place did it in copper.

My fav was the copper ones, but we picked up a cheese here to – and some sausage made of goat that was super tasty.

We are now pretty close to Haukeli, and soon be heading down towards sea level.
