At the moment we are sitting in a Scottish restaurant having a coffee and I had a chocolate biscuit which was very rich and now I have sugar overload, it should make for a fun 3 hour train trip to Vienna. So we wanted to come to Budapest because we knew it would snow while we were here, and it did. The weather forecast was exact. It snowed on the Thursday and was sunny for the rest of the time.

| On the train near the Hungary-Croatia border stop. Sometimes trains are boring... |
We booked an apartment here which was right in the centre of town and we were able to walk everywhere. Sometimes the walks were quite long, that was okay though because we got to see lots of fun things and walk through snow.

| Happy food! |
 |
| It begins... |
Budapest is a wonderful old city, the buildings are interesting because they have such a architectural range from Roman ruins to stark grey Soviet monstrosities. The food is filling and warming. The drinks plentiful. The people are friendly and happy on the whole.

| Double glove, it's that cold. |
 |
| Buda castle complex, super views |
We saw many homeless people who are living really rough, it must be so hard in these wintery countries to have to sleep on the street. I find it very difficult to see this daily, the old people in particular are heartbreaking to see.

| Us, obviously, in the snow |

| They call it chimney cake, I call it delicious |
