Good bye Budapest and Hungary. Leaving today for Bucharest in Romania. A few travellers have already said Romania is their favourite country and people were very kind. My sort of place then another one to challenge all the stereotypes you hear about.
Budapest is beautiful, Hungary has a population of around 10 million and according to my guide yesterday has list every war it’s ever started or got involved in. The Balkans are an I teresting place. All very proud and nationalistic but the EU seems to be doing a good job if them also finding an identity together. That makes the world a safer place. I could spend a week here easily especially as it was 23 degrees yesterday. Met lots of lovely folk too and the buildings are amazing.
Having trouble labelling the pictures at moment. I can see the description but don’t think you can, so I will work on that….Eish!

Retired nearly 13 years ago and since then been privileged to travel all over the world and meet amazing people and cultures. I'm now driving from Birmingham to Cape Town and collecting donations for the British Red Cross where I have been a volunteer for over five years. Please be as generous as you can. Thank you

Send him my all goes but I liked it very much and remember to ask him to do it in Arabic too please. Send him my apologies too. It’s the only clip I have lost and am now much more organised.
