Photography Friday: H is for ‘Hungary’!
Back in 2008 I boarded a bus with a bunch of European Erasmus students from Linz, Austria to Budapest, Hungary.
Budapest is split by a river Danube, one side of the city is called ‘Buda’ and the other ‘Pest’ or ‘Pache’ if you’re pronouncing it correctly. The parliament is glorious, particularly from the view of the Buda Castle across the river.
Rather than go on too much, I’ll let the photographs show you how beautiful Budapest in Hungary really is. Excuse the quality of image composition, this was a long time ago and my photography has come a long way since!

Finding a little piece of NZ in Budapest – we stayed next to the embassy!

Despite the horrible accommodation (imagine a bed of just springs basically in like a 20 bed dorm) and long bus ride, it was a lovely weekend trip to do. The baths were incredible – like swimming in Roman Baths and the architecture around the city was beautiful.

It’s such a fascinating city; there is a park that holds all the old communist statues that I would like to visit but didn’t get a chance too on my last visit. Stunning photos x
Not my best photos from my old camera… but yes looking back it was a pretty incredible city – that park sounds interesting! I don’t think I managed to get there either… reason to go back I guess!
