    Museum day.

    Oh look, a familiar view

    Something British. One faucet for boiling hot water, one for ice cold. Oh well

  2. Took a walk around a graveyard.

    IMG_8614_zpsf771c952.jpg

     

    Always interesting to see the differences in marking the dead in various areas. It was unusual for me to see stories or narratives, informalities in my opinion, written out on the gravestones.

    IMG_8608_zpsef72c78a.jpg

     

    Images, sure. This guy probably had had a tractor

    IMG_8638_zpse36eea47.jpg

     

    This guy probably was a fisherman

    IMG_8595_zpscb7dbc8b.jpg

     

    This guy probably worked on a rig

    IMG_8598_zps4f79572d.jpg

     

    This lady probably decorated that Scottish house I posted before

    All things made clear

    IMG_8647_zpsbb0b585c.jpg

     

    Headstones carved out of granite like the houses.

    Back towards Stonehaven.

    IMG_8542_zpsbf73b72a.jpg

     

    Summer idyll.

    IMG_8545_zps0dfb1e32.jpg

     

    Julia is loved even here, far from her motherland. Cool.

    Waiting for the train...

    IMG_8549_zps5ee0dafb.jpg

     

    ...with horrible local shortcakes.

  4. The main street.

    IMG_8367_zps7ffb2d21.jpg

     

    Happened to visit a some kind of concert that had been arranged for the thing that looked like a torch that had not been lit. Horrible.

    IMG_8441_zps47c14f7f.jpg

     

    Stayed for the irony. For a while.

    IMG_8445_zpsd3425fbb.jpg

     

    Security everywhere, fences everywhere, labyrinths of fences everywhere, security announcements over the loudspeakers between each song. A big fuck-all screen up on the streets, guarded by twenty-thirty policemen and zero (0) people watching it. Whaaaat's going on Aberdeen.

    IMG_8446_zpsaa04dd57.jpg

     

    Useful

    IMG_8448_zps80f2cc5d.jpg

     

    The sundown was nice. Granite buildings on the way back to the sleeping place.

  5. Hostel chicks r eazy

     

    Stayed at acquaintances.

     

    did you take a sleeper train in the UK?

     

    Yeah. The Caledonian Sleeper to Aberdeen and back. The best sleep I've had on a night train ever.

    Here's waking up to the rolling hills already in Scotland.

    IMG_8384_zpse0b565cc.jpg

     

    A very Scottish street

    IMG_8406_zpseb5eb847.jpg

     

    Very Scottish

    Very Scottish

    IMG_8404_zps6577f398.jpg

     

    Signs, signs everywhere. This was really strange and unusual for me, not used to signs being posted everywhere, telling this, telling that... Very dangerous.

    IMG_8420_zpsfe8a1bdf.jpg

     

    Suddenly roads closed, police everywhere. What's going on?

    IMG_8400_zpsdd78f311.jpg

     

    People running, camera crew shooting, someone in the middle carrying something that looks like a torch that hasn't been lit. That's the star of the show. Hey hey the guy is waving at me whoa hey.

    IMG_8401_zps0e69fe88.jpg

     

    A bus full of policemen ensuring the torch that has not been lit is safe. Hmm.

    IMG_8403_zps24faf507.jpg

     

    Back to town. The council estates.

    IMG_8430_zps4658a1e4.jpg

     

    Sum graf.

  6. So yeah, walking towards the wine cellar area in town.

    IMG_7739_zps126c4d45.jpg

     

    There's so much wine there they pour it on the streets, it's crazy I know, wow whoa hey.

    IMG_7724_zps044c8e7d.jpg

     

    Wine cellars. Almost no people which was strange.

    IMG_7726_zps2c3da2d6.jpg

     

    Lots of wine and no photos. Well, here's a healthy snack for you. White bread with lots of lard, salt, paprika and onion

    IMG_7729_zpsfc43ac90.jpg

     

    IMG_7730_zpse366f474.jpg

    Down the hill.

    IMG_7861_zps6f190e07.jpg

     

    Anyways, this one district had a "trash day". The inhabitants could bring various trash out on the streets and then trucks provided by the city drive around and pick it up for free. I guess it happens once or twice a year for each city district.

    But then the gypsies turn up. Some drive around and take things they find valuable with them, some just sit on a pile, declare it theirs and try to sell it.

    Another church, this time converted into a gallery

    IMG_7715_zps36e27b49.jpg

     

    A graveyard...

    IMG_7716_zpsb7ff564a.jpg

     

    Of course, we were in the wine area.

    Nice house, eh

    IMG_7437_zps047170bb.jpg

     

    Went to a Turkish bath built in the 16th century. Obviously not many photos. Google Kiraly baths... A great place. Only negative thing was a strange Chinese man

    Popped through the Keleti station, one of the central ones

    IMG_7283_zpse4a86533.jpg

     

    IMG_7285_zpsab865bde.jpg

     

    Then it rained.

    The town really reminded me of Paris. Nice. Cosy.

    IMG_7294_zps349341f6.jpg

     

    Went to the suburbs to check out a place I'd seen on the net.

    IMG_7298_zps69f4e3b4.jpg

     

    IMG_7303_zps43053cc2.jpg

     

    IMG_7304_zpsfffd0ffe.jpg

     

    Yay, still there.

     

    IMG_7305_zpsbbb427e2.jpg

     

    Easy access. Wave to the workers. Walk around.

    Back in the city, along the Danube.

  10. So I made a really good omelette this morning and figured I'd do this thread thingy here.

    So.

    Even if the forum is dead. Last post in the daily pies thread was in May? Well okay.

     

    So I went on a short trip around Europe recently. Took many photos.

    Sleeping place...

    IMG_7260_zps603c408a.jpg

     

    Taken to an industrial area immediately. Brick roads, nice buildings, half-abandoned, the sun was shining.
