- Budapest - Sziget Music Festival
After a very slow start to the day (I seem to keep writing that…), we left Krisztina’s apartment for some lunch around the corner so that we could be at the Sziget music festival by mid-afternoon. Krisztina took us to Posted by joshtracey in Josh & Tracey's Adventures | Sep 27, 2008

After a terribly hot night and not much sleep at all, we rose as Krisztina left for work and were introduced to a small sit-down shower (as everything is tiny is a tiny apartment!) Andrew had gone to buy milk Posted by joshtracey in Josh & Tracey's Adventures | Sep 25, 2008

Surprise! School doesn't start this week... we have a whole week of TESTING. Everyone is very anxious about them but I am feeling cool and collected because they are placement tests, we aren't supposed to know everything before we start Posted by Caitlin L in My Adventure to Europe | Sep 16, 2008

This weekend was very relaxing. I went to the store and got some hangers and other necessities, so now I am finally able to completely unpack. Kate, my roommate, and I lucked out with our room. It is meant for Posted by Caitlin L in My Adventure to Europe | Sep 15, 2008

Today was a day full of travel, it began with a 3 hour bus ride and I spent most of the day inside the bus, but it was well worth the trip. The day started in Vezprem, our tour wa Posted by Caitlin L in My Adventure to Europe | Sep 14, 2008

On our second day of orientation we saw the place that the first Hungarians came from Russia. There was a memorial similar to Hero's Square featuring the "founding fathers" of Hungary but there were also many other cool things Posted by Caitlin L in My Adventure to Europe | Sep 13, 2008

Kesckemet is a little town about an hour bus or train ride south of Budapest. There are only 100,000 people that live in this city. However, it doesn't seem that small because the Posted by Caitlin L in My Adventure to Europe | Sep 10, 2008

This morning I went to the Church in the rock, it is built in a cave where a saint lived and healed people with the spring waters. I went for a walk to find the caves you can go Posted by Passmore in Erin's trips | Aug 8, 2008

So this morning I started out at the Basilica and saw the mummified hand of St Stephan. Then attempted the Budapest transit system for the first time. I miss Vienna it was a lot more straightforward. Eventually Posted by Passmore in Erin's trips | Aug 7, 2008

Today I walked around another park and went to heros square. Then to the fine art museum, i liked the ones in vienna better but it was ok, it was more religous scene based. I found a used Posted by Passmore in Erin's trips | Aug 5, 2008

It's nice to have the time to leisurely explore a city. The first day in any city is always the most challenging because we have to figure out a new language, the money, the public transit system, the street Posted by jhongny in While We Are Out... | Aug 4, 2008
