June 10 - Turnu Magurele - Bucharest

 At 5 am I went up on deck to watch the docking of the boat, and enjoyed seeing the fishing boats going out. I had a last swim in the pool and chatted to a couple of friends in New Zealand. 

Breakfast was served, our bags had their last packing and checking and at 8.30 we said last goodbyes and boarded the mini bus for Bucharest. 

This 2.5 hour ride wound through a variety of landscapes, from small cities, to run down cottages and villages. Late spring is here, with its ripening plums  and cherries. Mulberries paint the footpaths. 

We arrived in Bucharest, got an uber to our apartment and dropped off our luggage while we waited for check in. The apartment has 3 levels of security. First there is a gate on the road with a combination lock. Then there is another combination to enter the building, and finally a combination to enter the apartment itself.

(This is the cafe where we bought coffee while we waited. )

On the way I'd bought a small bottle of milk as I was longing for a cup of tea. I boiled the jug, put the tea bag in, and poured in the milk. It was Ayran, drinking yogurt. blegh

I googled another supermarket and found there was one 11  minutes away, so I headed out with Selah and 3 minutes later found another one. Yay - milk!

Bruce wasn't feeling well, so we had a rest for the remainder of the day.

Vienna 31st May, and starting our cruise

Image
 We had decided the night before that we would rise early, check of the airbnb and start the day with coffee in a cafe somewhere. We were away by 7.30, and got an uber into the central train station so we could store our luggage for the day. This cost 3.50 Euro, so was a great option. We then grabbed a coffee and sat outside to plan our route. The hop on hop off bus won, as it would give us a way to get to other places as well as learning about other places on the way.  The first route took over two hours, wandering all around the city, over the Danube and back again. Lots of historical information about the places we passed and then it was time for lunch. We found hot food for sale at Spar Supermarkets, and tables and bar stools also inside. This was fantastic as it had just started raining.  Well fed, we heading over to Selah's choice: The Museum of Kriminology. It was very well researched, with lots of authentic displays and newspaper articles from the last couple of hundred yea

Budapest Tuesday 4th June. Synagogue and Parliament

Image
 The day we met other kiwis. Doing the same tour in reverse, we happened to meet with them in the garden of the Parliament.  The Parliament was amazing and spectacular and incredible and overwhelming and and and ...ostentatious and there was no information anywhere of how much this edifice cost the people of Hungary. It might as well be a castle. And there's no drop-bears. How odd to have missed this important detail. Sometimes I thank God that we live in New Zealand with the somewhat embarrassing Beehive.  Bruce took these photos. The tour cost NZ$108 for the 3 of us.  In the morning we went to the Grand Synagogue. This cost NZ$148. It's been an expensive day.  The synagogue tour was better as it spoke to the heart. It spoke of a people, so willing to be counted as citizens, that they gave up their customs and built a synagogue, employing a Christian architect from Vienna. A synagogue that looks like a Catholic church, with symbols and imagery that would not look out of place

One day in Zurich makes a jetlagged person stumble

Image
Leaving Darwin for Singapore...... In Singapore. this is a glass topped pool. Hard to photograph.  So, here we are. We've arrived on the continent. Zurich airport is much like any other, except, like Singapore there are trains to take you to one place to the next - in this case to where we picked up our luggage.  Having collected all four pieces we headed over to customs. There wasn't any. What there was was the clear bright sky, pavement and directions to the train station. A few false starts later and we were aboard the train to the Zurich town centre, where we wasted some time because we couldn't find lockers to put suitcases in, and then we couldn't work out how it worked. How it worked was that you paid for 6 hours and when we returned 10 hours later, we paid for 3 more hours. hmmm. In any case, The train station is reminiscent of Sydney Central station, except that 7am in Zurich is crowded with people, and we when returned at 6 pm, there's about 10 times as ma
