Lekker dagje strand met Adriaan.

My parents invited Mayke and me to join them on their orchestra tour of Budapest last week. Budapest has changed lots since my last visit (about 8 years ago), the city seems to have turned into a fun culture-rich and fashion-aware modern capital. Highlights were (of course) the thermal baths (Gellert and Széchenyi) and the impressive statue park with impressive socialist statues, and excellent restaurants! (Dio as top-pick).

A daytrip by car to Eastern Eger, a small town surrounded by vineyards, was also rewarding, although the weather was less cooperative that day. The Hungarian motorways are top-notch, the coutryside is beautiful and they make good wine!
