Nick posted the pics! They are not really organized yet and there are about 650 pcitures in total. Here are the links, one with pictures from my camera and one from Nick´s. Here are a few of my favourites if you have limited time:
Deborah - the best employee at United who helped us get on our flight to Germany
Oktoberfest - early evening , a few liters later and many beers later
We really weren´t kidding when we said it was snowing
The Steady Stead
Innsbruck
Bolzano, Italia - town surrounded by the Dolomites and here´s a fun one near our campsite
Driving through the Dolomites - C and i, Alpine Lake, Beer delivery by chopper, more Mountains, Frolicking, Group photo
In Klagenfurt, Austria with Heidi
Vienna - Ferris Wheel, Coffee shop
Finally, getting our bikes!
This is proof of the river crossing - nick, k and c
Here is a nice view of the Danube from one of the bridge crossings on our way to Bratislava and as we are getting into Bratislava in the dark. And here is Nick posing in the main promenade the next morning.
One of the nicest bikepaths we took was in Slovakia, from Bratislava to Gobcikovo. And here is Charlie´s attempt in cushioning his sore bum.
Here is a pic of the only ´hotel room´ where we could bring our bikes in. It was an abandoned university dorm and our only option in Gobcikovo. Here is another one to show how abandoned it was. And our lovely dinner.
The next night we arrived at Komarom, Hungary where we stayed with Edith and her husband in their very homey cottage.
Ah, and of course, a Trabant, they were all over Hungary.
The next destination was Eztergom, one of my favourite towns. Here is a nice view from our room in the attic at Lazlo´s 1600 home. And a beautiful sunset over looking the Danube atop the town. And of course we had to document our hungarian omelete breakfast the next morning with Lazlo´s wife.
This is Charlie and I about to collapse from exhaustion from climbing the hill from Eztergom to Szentendre. Apparently there is a Santa Fe Cafe just about anywhere in the world. Did we mention that Paprika is a Hungarian specialty?
And finally, arriving in Budapest!! We made it up to Castle Hill just as it was getting dark. We had a nice traditional Hungarian meal, and a stroll across the Chain Bridge.
The next day we visite the Hungarian History Museum, the Parlaiment ...and cafe, a stroll in some massive mall (we were looking for an internet cafe) where you were allowed to do just about nothing and a delicious dessert (it´s a Hungarian specialty but i can´t remember the name), upon Valeria´s recommendation, to end the night. Well, we did other things too but there are too many pictures for me to post them all (and i am getting tired...)! Definitely go check out all the other great pics on the websites!!
