Arriving in Budapest, we head for our last minute Couchsurfer, Sara, who lives with her family in the heart of the city. One of his daughters gives up her bed for us to a in and we are wined and dined the whole night through.
The next day we frantically search for another "couch" or "warm shower" (a similar peer-to-peer accommodation site, aimed at bicycle tourers) for the night, to no avail. We do some sightseeing in the Pest side of Budapest and later camp approx 15km north of the city in a disused meadow.
Again the search begins the next day for a "couch" for the night.
Happily we find Balazs, who suggests that we can stay in a community
centre in the city centre. Finally, I can see what all the hype of
Budapest-at-night is ask about. We go to bar Simpla, in the former
Jewish District, and the most popular bar in Budapest. Afterwards we
roll around on our bikes taking photos of the spectacular buildings and
the wonderful lighting.
