    We were wondering when you were going to post an update. Everything you said totally resonates with us. Full-time travel can be rough, especially with the "not so great" Airbnbs. Totally jealous about your dual citizenship. It's becoming more and more difficult to travel in europe which is a bummer. We hope the physical therapy helps so you'll be back in business for 2025. We will be back in Europe in 2025 so perhaps we can meet up if we are in the same city. We're starting in Italy around 2024. Cheers!

Exploring the Buda Castle District, introducing Ollie to the metro, visiting iconic landmarks like Heroe's Square, Vajdahunyad Castle, and the House of Music, as well as enjoying the beauty of Margaret Island and trying Hungarian dishes at Lagos and Frici Papa must have made for wonderful memories. Ending your trip with a night cruise along the Danube and some homemade Taco Soup for a taste of home adds a personal touch to your travel story.

    @andyhorvath6630 8 месяцев назад

    The thermal baths in Budapest were already known in Roman times, they sent wounded soldiers to recover to Aquincum (and built a town there, now a district in the north of Budapest), more than 2000 years before the Gellért baths and the others were built. The remains from the Roman period are still visible in Aquincum and other places in the north of Buda. Yes, you should always have a valid ticket on the transit in Budapest (actually you should everwhere). I’ve had my tickets checked many, many times. A few years ago I was in Budapest and I still had some tickets from the year before, I checked whether the price had gone up and it hadn’t. Only the colour had changed, so I thought “I’ve paid my fair, so I can still use these tickets”. No you can’t, even though the tickets were the same price, my ticket was regarded as invalid upon inspection and I had to pay the fine. No arguing possible with this bossy inspector with her two colleagues. I’m half Hungarian and I could speak fluently with them, but there was no remorse. I had to pay the fine. This was on tram line 2 alongside the Danube, a very scenic route popular among tourists and the inspectors see this line as a tourist trap to meet their goals. Nowadays I always buy a multi day or week pass for all the transit; it’s a bit more pricy than buying individual tickets probably, but it saves you from the hassle of buying the right tickets for your journey and the encounters with the ticket inspectors.

      @thegreatescapers 8 месяцев назад

      Thank you for the comment and for watching! We knew you had to always validate, it just didn’t read the second ticket 🙄 it’s an unfortunate situation that Budapest reacts in such a way for sure. We honestly just didn’t find many people there kind in any way honestly. Too bad, it’s an incredible city.

      @@thegreatescapers Over here in the Netherlands and I’m sure in several other countries, you also will not be greeted enthusiastically by ticket inspectors if you don’t have a valid ticket. The people in Budapest, in my opinion, are not unkind, just like any big city people anywhere really.It’s no different here in Amsterdam, or London or Paris (try that place!). My experience is just the contrary actually, but maybe the difference lies in the fact that as a Dutchman, I speak fluent Hungarian. People are surprised when they hear I’m Dutch, most of the time they don’t even hear a foreign accent and assume I’m Hungarian. With even a bit of a western Hungarian accent though; I started learning the language when I was 2,5 years old during our first holiday in Hungary from my grandma and family Budapest is a fantastic city, it’s my second home town and I still know my way around there better than here in Amsterdam

    Everything is nice there is Hungarian. Hard to see the statue of Ady (great hungarian poet)on the street, and the golden headstatue of King Saint László in the Episcopal Palace. All these things was stolen from Hungary. But nothing is eternal, once all of these will return to their rightfull owners, to Hungary!

      You’re right, Oradea was Hungarian for nearly 1000 years, and before that, very few Dacians or Romans lived in the area, the city basically didn’t exist. It only became part of Romania in 1918 and became predominantly Romanian only in the late 60s early 70s after Ceausescu’s industrialisation and urbanisation. Sadly for the entire city, the Hungarian population has been in decline and I think it already dropped to under 25%. I don’t see Oradea returning to Hungary any time soon. It would take something miraculous to happen. Like Hungary becoming the next Switzerland or something😅

      @@threesixnine369six Who thought in 1878, that 40 years later a fully hungarian city became part of a surreally extended Wallachia? All the hungarians would laugh on you if you telling them. So just take care, history working on mysterious way. And nobody can predicting the future...

      @@threesixnine369six This is false. The Salca archeological site (the current Lotus Supermarket's location) in Oradea is the largest archaeological site ever discovered in Crișana. It's almost 7000 years old, dating back to 4800 BC, and it proves Oradea has been inhabited since then. There are news articles covering this and the city museum has thousands of artifacts on display; from ceramc pots, to tools, to decorative artifacts. So much for "very few inhabited the area".

    Hello, 🦩🦩🦩🐼🐨🐼🐦🐦🐦May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?

    Nice vlog and editing skills guys :) however, "everybody talks about how much they love America and want to go to America over here in Europe" :)) well I must disagree ... not many Europeans even like America (not the American people per se, but the society), to put it that way.. so maybe visiting as a tourist, as the US has a beautiful nature, but Europe still attracts more tourists than the US (about 60% of global tourists come to Europe).

      We understand and agree! But you’d be surprised how many people we talk to here that always say how much they want to go to America… We always try to make people understand it’s not what you see in “the movies” as they’ll tell us 🫣

And yes, u kinda don like most of the americans, they are loud, noisy and really dont care about the people around them and respecting the country they are in(When they visit). I said "most" of the americans, because ive seen a lot of vlogs lately from american people in Europe who start to take an interest in the history of the places, to not take stereotypes as a fact and start to wonder in eastern europe discovering beautiful places and changing mentality about the balcan area.

    Loving the videos! We had a similar situation in Riga where we bought two bus tickets on one of our phones, but only one validated. It wasn't possible to validate the second ticket. Luckily we didn't get caught. Another time Chris's phone ran out of battery power just as the controllers started walking through the bus checking to see that tickets were validated. Definitely good times learning how to navigate each country.
