Buda and Pest continued

Tuesday 8 July

Dave headed to the airport to have his bike shipped back to London as he flies off to Moscow tomorrow to ready himself for the Trans Siberia Rally. He's co-driver in the Porsche Australia Team's Cayenne. They didn't manage to finish last year, but have big plans for this one. The rally finishes in Mongolia. I think the flight out of Mongolia will be the most adventurous part.

Visited the main market. Great building and lots of good produce, but our QV Market is every where as good. This one just has more varieties of Hungarian salami. Did some more walking, this time to the top of another damn hill to see another damn Citadel. Great views of Budapest.
Pic of a relaxed and tanned newbold. The dark clouds are a bit of a worry. Not looking forward to riding in the rain again.

Tonight will be the "farewell Dave meal". Should be a good one. It'll be sad to see him leave the ride, I'll miss the continual piss taking and his wind problem, but I wish him luck.

The ride tomorrow is not planned yet. North to Slovakia or west to Austria................?
