Second update of the day!

I've done a lot and it's only been a few hours. But before we get to that, guess where I am that has free wifi?


It's an English pub! A street away from the river, and a couple over from the bridge! I am having a halfpint of cider and have ordered a shepherd's pie and there's Sky Sports on the tv. It's a proper pub! So I'm having a giggle to myself and skype-messaging with Danes. It's lovely. (I might also be seated near an English cricket player?)

I've been all over today since we last talked. Took the guy's advice and wandered down the main drag we're on. It took a little while to find a cafe that also served food, so all I've had today is coffee and a croissant. (I woke up starving)

Went straight down Rakozi (one of the main roads and the one my hotel's on), took a right turn, wandered down some random streets (on which I found a tea place, which I might go check out later) and found my way down to the river and the first of the bridges, which my map calls Erzsebet Szabad, but I can't tell if that's the road or the bridge. Walked along the riverwalk until I got to the Szechenyi chain bridge and crossed it. Took loads of pictures, then crossed underneath and walked back on the other side. Both sides of the river have a little park/walk to sit and talk and such. The one I decided on had a guy set up selling beverages and playing techno music in a language I couldn't decipher. 

After a nice long sit and journal writing session, I took off in search of some food. Now I'm here. After this (delicious cider and very yummy pie!), I'll head back the way I came and see if I can find the tea place. 

  • My work boots are not conducive to fast-paced wandering or slow meandering. But they will be good for standing in one place and digging for hours on end. 
  • I'm starting to get a little apprehensive for the dig.
  • No pictures yet, because first I have to get them from my camera onto the laptop, so pictures later.
