Our trip to Budapest included a few memorable excursions out of the city and into the countryside. The most bizarre of these was taking the Children's Railway (Gyermekvasút) to the Elizabeth Lookout (Erzsébet-kilátó) at János-hegy - the highest hill in Budapest. This was probably the craziest thing I saw in Hungary, and definitely the closest I … Continue reading Elindulna a város
Ahol laktunk
I know this blog is supposed to be about Denmark, but I am not quite done with Hungary yet so bear with me. The place we stayed in Budapest deserves a mention for its self proclaimed 'very special atmosphere'. If you ever want to live out some kind of Miss Havisham role play in once opulent but increasingly derelict … Continue reading Ahol laktunk
Smaragdváros
Ahhh, I forgot to find a place for this! Oh well, it can have its own post. While we were visiting the castle it became apparent they were filming a movie/tv show. We were tipped off by the presence of smoke machines and these guys: From our investigations (i.e. looking at some signs around the … Continue reading Smaragdváros
Szabadidő Budapesten
From my first post you'd have got the impression that Budapest is all about grand architecture and manly statues. Which it is. But it also has a deserved reputation for leisure activities and partying - truly, it is competing with Tallinn to be the city that launched 1000 British bucks parties. Firstly, the overwhelming impression … Continue reading Szabadidő Budapesten
A kiruccanás Magyarország
Surprise! This post is not about IKEA or our pitiful first-world moving struggles, or even about the garbage collection area of our building* (sorry to disappoint). It's about what we got up to on our Easter holidays - thanks Jebus! The Danes celebrate Easter in a very Danish way - by giving everyone five days off … Continue reading A kiruccanás Magyarország
Flytte hus
I am writing this well rested because just over a week ago we gathered our belongings, said goodbye to our raucous friends outside Cosy Bar, nimbly avoided all the inevitable vomit hazards from the night before, and hopped in a taxi to our new place. En route the taxi driver picked up on Ant's interest in an advert for … Continue reading Flytte hus
Flere havfruer
Hej venner! In a previous post, Carla hinted at the existence of some other mermaid statues around Copenhagen, but claimed her journalistic integrity would not allow her to dignify them by including photos. Luckily I shed all vestiges of integrity a long way back so here are the pics! This first one looks like the sort of … Continue reading Flere havfruer
Flere skrald tegn!
Everyone is going to think I spend all my time skulking around the bins, but this is a really important update on the last post so I'll take that risk... Great news! We've finally worked out which bin the flamingos go in: Thank god. They were really starting to pile up in here, and the shrimp … Continue reading Flere skrald tegn!
Billedet og virkeligheden
This post is dedicated to the people who have stoically read this blog and kindly asked whether København is really as pretty as the photos would imply. Yes! Of course it is. It's super smukke*. Would I lie to you, on the internet of all places? I will, however, show you what the majority of my mad photography … Continue reading Billedet og virkeligheden
Foregribelse!
