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.

Kristen and I stayed in the town of Timișoara to take in some of the culture of far western Romania.  This is an old station of some sort with preserved statues out front.
