Sorry for the delay with the update, a sudden influx of British (or more accurately Scotts!) last night kept me up talking to well passed my bedtime...<br />
<br />
We spent a good day in Budapest yesterday, the metro was quick and efficient and cost £5 for a day ticket which covered all metro, tram and busses. If you're not going to use it much you can get a single ticket <br />
for 70p a journey. I wouldn't recommend the busses though – when you visit you will see what I mean!<br />
<br />
We started off in Pest and walked over the Chain Bridge after viewing the houses of Parliament, the views from here are fantastic and you can see the castle welcoming you to over to Pest. We took a cable car up to <br />
the top and wandered around the castle and courtyard for a couple of  hours, arguably the most historical area of Budapest. After viewing the Waterfall, we crossed another bridge back into the main shopping district.<br />
<br />
The money here is quite hard to understand… 1000ft is about £3.50. Sophie bought some new shoes as the ones she had were giving her some trouble after two days of capital crawling and explored some of the shops which weren't western high street brands.<br />
<br />
We hopped back on the metro to take us to Heroes Square home to a monument very similar to the one in Berlin as well as several Spa Bath houses and Museum's. There are a lot of Museum's here in Budapest and if <br />
you was here on a city break or a week you'd probably want to visit them all, but it's not really our thing – we like to take in as much as we can without joining the crowds of tourists!<br />
<br />
So today we are heading off to Lake Balaton, but have decided that we might dip into Croatia after inspecting it… we'll just have to see.<br />
<br />
Not sure when we'll have Wifi again so you might not see any updates for a while – hope everyone is keeping well! Adam & Sophie.

Today we drove 350 miles from Czech to Budapest, via Slovakia. The <br />
motorways in Czech were pretty hard going, being made up mostly with <br />
paved concrete so we had to drop our speed down. We'd like to have <br />
explored a bit more of Czech but there is pleanty of time for that! We <br />
were thankful that the roads in Slovakia were tarmac and we were able to <br />
make up our lost time. We stopped at a Tesco in Slovkia to stock up on <br />
essentials (beer, cured meat, olives, cheese!) before crossing the <br />
border into Hungary where we bought another vignette - can hardly see <br />
out of the windscreen now for them!<br />
<br />
No pictures of Budapest until the next blog post unfortunatly as we were to busy navigating the <br />
traffic (I'll be sure to get some pictures on the way out!) and the <br />
directions for the campsite were a bit vague... the campsite is on the <br />
street that it says it is but its entrance is down the next street <br />
(<a href="http://www.hallercamping.hu/">http://www.hallercamping.hu/</a>).<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we'll be getting the tram into Budapest and will report back <br />
with pictures, we're sat outside the van with some food, it's been about <br />
30 during the day and now its got to be 18 or so with a cool breeze.<br />
More tomorrow!

Greetings from Budapest!
