Today we travel from Budapest to Frankfurt and then on to Abu Dhabi. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it we have a fair amount of time to kill as our flight doesn't leave until 6pm.
So we decided to walk around, firstly to the "big shopping centre" around the corner from our hotel. The directions were a little vague and after a fair walk we couldn't find it. So we decided to head into town. Maps, who needs them when you have a vague recollection of what it looks like and a single conversation of what train to take. Anyway the nearest bus won't take us there and we don't have enough coin for the train. Walking it is, how far can it be?!
Apparently a bloody long way. After an hour or so of walking and not really getting much of any view that looked familiar we decide to head back and have lunch at the hotel. Over lunch we get out a map. Turns out we remembered quite well, we were on the right raod heading in th right direction. What no-one had managed to tells us was just how far it was. Well beyond walking distance!
This will be it now until Abu Dhabi. We fly Buda to Franfurt at 6pm, then Frankfurt to Abu at 10pm arriving at 7.30am. At least it is nights we are losing.
