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.

Budapest.

Sleeping place...

IMG_7260_zps603c408a.jpg

 

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

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.

Yay, still there.

Easy access. Wave to the workers. Walk around.

Then my battery died.

 

Back in the city, along the Danube.

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

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

Up to Castle Hill

IMG_7834_zps5be1fce9.jpg

 

IMG_7836_zps4112e016.jpg

 

Guards and photo opportunities for some

IMG_7838_zps6c7fe64b.jpg

 

IMG_7854_zpsf441fe5c.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.

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.

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.

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

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
