Day 13, Rest Day Budapest - Capital of Hungary

So guys, we made into the city... It was really warm to get downtown on the motorcycle, but the traffic was not to bad. Already last night we walked downtown and had a great dinner. Today we explored the old town along the Danube river - great architecture all over. We even arranged a visit of the Parliament of Hungary - it was easier then to get a Metro ticket!

Juan Pablo haveing dinner - of course Goulash Soup!

trying to get the subway tickets...

The Parliament

Modern City, or?

Walking, walking and walking... time to rest!

Day 10, Restday Cracovia - now we know why!

Cracovia - now what a wonderful place. A lot of people say this would be the nicest old town of Europe - maybe they are right!

Here you have a lot of things to visit: In walking distance of our hotel you find the biggest medieval square(200 x 200 meters) in perfect conditions,something like 700 churches, all over the places. The famous covered market hall, the Jewish Quarter and finally the Wawel Castle!

And everywhere very friendly people, now we know what makes Eastern Europe so attractive!

Inside Wawel Castle - isn´t it great?

Great shops and bars in the Jewish Quarter, right next to the old Synagoge...

Polski Fiat - nice car!

here one of the old Synagoges, quite interesting.

In Cracovia you can do nearly everything - even a Communist Tour in old communist vehicles...

Finally Cracovia in the evening - great nightlife!

Good night!

Day 9, Dvur Kralove(Czech Rep.) - Cracovia(Poland)

Another wonderful breakfast and then the next border, right into Poland! It is so nice in the European Union, nobody checks you - you just drive through - perfect! Already the 4th country on this trip - incredible!

After an easy ride a short coffee stop, before we visit the ancient concentration camp(KZ) of Auschwitz. Interesting but terrible, anyway - a part of history...

Our breakfast table - we had to show you this - isn´t it nice?

Our first stop in Poland - the language looks a lot easier than Czech, doesn´t it...

To tell you the truth - it was really interesting to visit this place, but nobody of our group could stand the whole tour - it was too tough.

Lot´s of people from all over the world come to visit this place - even from Israel.
