One Last Day in Budapest

After an epic trip around southeast Europe, Kristen and I spent one last day in Budapest.  We saw this sweet car parked on the sidewalk near where we stayed the night.

Train to Hungary

To get back to Budapest where Kristen and I both were to catch flights, we decided to take the train from Timișoara.  The Timișoara train station is one of the more dilapidated halls of transportation that I have been in.

The Ruin Pubs of Budapest

IMG_0436

Budapest has an interesting series of pubs that have sprang up inside of old derelict buildings.  Many of them were neglected for decades and have fallen into ruins.  Thus the concept of the ruin pub was born.  Kristen found several good ruin pubs for us to go check out.

There is usually a mix of eclectic art and ruined masonry in the ruin pubs.

Free wifi is available at most ruin pubs.  They seem like a nice place to do some mid-day work.
