Today we ventured across to the otherside of the Duna river (the icey river that separates the two halves of the city) to get maps of Africa loaded on to our GPS. The folks at WorldGate GPS were fantastic they took care of our navigation needs, lined up a garage to wash the car ahead of it's appointment with the press tomorrow am, organised some sand ladders at a fair price, made us a cup of coffee and took care of any translation needs. Speaking of which although not knowing any Hungarian isn't too much of a barrier most of the time not all of the locals understand English. Pete is doing his best to build bridges through, and it was with the best intent that he asked one of the girls behind the bar last night "where could we do our laundry" unfortunately she thought he said "could you do our Laundry for us" and we found it very difficult to get a drink for the rest of the evening!
We can definitely recommend a bar call the "Old Man" if you're ever passing through Budapest. It's a cosy bar with live blues music, relaxed crowd and good atmosphere - even on a freezing Tuesday night the place was jumping.
