First full day in Budapest

Had a pretty decent sleep at the hostel, even though it was pretty hot. Got to breakfast and it's not what I'm used to: white bread, museli, cereal...typical hostel breakfast. I had a few bites. Chatted with a young fellow from Brussels and he's traveling with a friend. They were thinking of going to Sofia … Continue reading First full day in Budapest →

Lots of walking in Lisbon

Was up early and off to the Museum of contemporary art. T'was ok. Some pieces I enjoyed and lotsa portraits too. Due to works on one of the exhibitions, we had to go to a separate building for another exhibition and it was neat as it encouraged you to touch things. Wasn't my favourite of … Continue reading Lots of walking in Lisbon →

Big day in Lisbon

After a good sleep in and a big breaky, off i went to the Mercado da Baixa. Small market but still plenty of little stalls: jewelry, honey, nuts, meats being BBQed, etc. I walked by a shoe store and saw a lady ask her partner if these strappy, yellow leather looked nice and he had … Continue reading Big day in Lisbon →

Final full day in Barcelona

El casal for breakfast. Cheap, yummy and simple hot breakfast. Friendly fellow running the shop there open from 7am! He's from France and was very quick too. Would come again! Shuttle to Park Guell from Alfons X station was easy. I guess they make it simple so more people would come! Lots of street vendors … Continue reading Final full day in Barcelona →

Day 2 of 3 Bopping around Barcelona

Woke up late and after figuring out Park Guell tickets, we went to the Federal cafe. Found this one on Google just from roaming around the map app and seeing what pops up. Felt like I was in Melbourne! Not surprising as the name is from a town in NSW so maybe they are influenced. … Continue reading Day 2 of 3 Bopping around Barcelona →

Day 1 in Barcelona

Out at about 11 and got to Milk bar and cafe and it's by owners from San Francisco apparently. Super nice and fun decor. Some spanish influences in the brunch but more traditional brunch. Chorizo hash by table share buddies. Looks good. The eggs benny was very nice but I didn't like the dish that … Continue reading Day 1 in Barcelona →

27 hours in Grenada

We’re up early and on the Alsa bus to Grenada. The screen looked like it was showing our bus at terminal 23 but when we went over, T saw the Alsa bus at terminal 26 said to Grenada! It was confusing and a bit stressful but luckily people were friendly and helpful. So, tip: keep … Continue reading 27 hours in Grenada →

Hot days in Seville

It was a hot evening in Seville and even with the fan I found it hard to sleep soundly. Sweating through the night is not my idea of a comfy sleep! I had hoped for a sounder sleep but it's been very, very warm... even with windows open too! Anyhow, T & I started out … Continue reading Hot days in Seville →

Next day in Cordoba

I went for a walk on my own and saw the Roman Temple ruins and the Plaza de la Corredera. Free to see these two. The temple is so cool. It’s the remains of a few pillars in the middle of the city here but to imagine it in the hustle and bustle of ancient … Continue reading Next day in Cordoba →
