[歐洲 匈牙利 Europe Hungary] Day 48 Saint Andrew's 單車x虛脫之大番滾 Extreme super bike

雖然終於順利出發到Saint Andrew's，但吃過Brunch已經是2時，比昨天還要遲！轉電車又轉巴士終於來到租單車的店，己經是接近4時。單車東主指必須於最遲晚上7時還車，否則後果自負。計一計時間，來回最快需要2小時，我應該還有2小時漫遊小鎮。歐洲租單車和買合我小腳板的鞋情況一樣，很難找到合適。最後我只能選小孩單車，車身較矮，但會比較吃力。

Although we finally visit Saint Andrew's on schedule, it was already 2pm after brunch which was even later than yesterday. We switched tram and bus to arrive the bike rental shop, it was almost 4pm. The owner of the bike shop said we have to return the bike by 7pm. Otherwise, we will have to responsible the consequence. It takes at least 2 hours for return ride, and we would still have 2 hours for wandering in the town. To rent a bike in Europe is similar to buy a shoes fit my little feet, that is HARD. Finally I have to choose the kids' bike which the frame is smaller but more heavy. So I will have to use more energy for the ride.

[歐洲 匈牙利 Europe Hungary] Day 47 我的口頭禪 My Signature Phrase: Its Okay!!

昨晚喝得太多，Adam、Örs 和我都宿醉，睡到中午才起床。原本打算踏單車到鄰近小鎮Saint Adrew's (Szentendre)遊覽，但時間關係只能押後到明天。Saint Andrew's 是在布達佩斯以北的一個小鎮，旅遊書或遊客都十分推薦。

Adam, Örs and I also suffered from hangover this morning. It was 12 noon when we finally woke up. We planned to cycle to a nearby town in the north of Budapest which is most recommended. However, it was pretty late to do a trip to Saint Andrew's (Szentendre) today, so we will do it tomorrow.

再對布達佩斯反感是發生在地鐵站，我打算買一張全日票放便今天行程。由於沒有零錢，所以我排隊到售票處購票。職員問＂你要什麼？＂我說＂一張全日票＂但他說的價錢我在收費表沒有找到感到奇怪，原來他聽錢了，以為我要十張全日票。儘管我跟他解釋，他以先入為主認為我有心戲弄他，十分生氣。即使我拿回車費，但他不想再給我賣車票。我十分不喜歡他的態度，更打算就此離開票也不買便坐車。他再次問我要什麼，我這次說＂24小時票＂他反問＂你確定？＂我說＂是的。＂然後我應該會得到車票吧！但他只給我一個不屑的眼神，然後無視我並轉向我身後的乘客問他需要什麼，更說了幾句匈牙利文看似在說我不是。我再次被這個人無視。真的是我錯是我的問題嗎？我被他這樣發脾氣真的很無辜，最後他賣給我一張24小時車票並說了句"It is not funny!!" 天啊!!!
The second time I dislike Budapest happened in the metro station. I was about to get a one-day ticket before starting my day. Since I only have a big note with me, I lined up at the cashier for getting the ticket from the staff. He asked “What do you want?” I said “ a day ticket please.” He then charged me a different price which is not found on the price list. I was wondering if I was having the right thing. It turned out he misheard me saying “ten tickets” so he processed to sell me different thing. He was obviously pissed about the mistake and the trouble I brought him. No matter how I explained he already thought I fooled him. Although I have the money back, he refused to serve me and sell me the ticket. I was also annoyed by his attitude and one second I decided not to get any ticket and just skip the fare. He asked me again what I want, I said “24-hour ticket”, then he challenged me saying “ Are you sure? “ I said “ Yes, Sir!” Guess what next? I should have my ticket, right?! But he just gave me a dirty look and talked to the passenger after me in Hungarian and asked what the passenger needed. I was ignored again by this bastard. Did I do something wrong? It was really not fair to throw me the temper. Finally he sold me the stupid 24-hour ticket and said “It is not funny!!” >__< What a jerk!!

[歐洲 匈牙利 Europe Hungary] Day 45 Eger 一日遊 Day Trip

[歐洲 匈牙利 Europe Hungary] Day 44 遊走布達佩斯大街小巷 Wandering around Budapest, both main street & alley

Adam 這幾天會出差到法蘭克福，所以我便自動升級airbed 到他的高床軟枕，真的是睡過才知道什麼是舒服。

Adam will be in Frankfurt for business trip these days. So I upgrade myself to his bed instead of the airbed. It was so comfortable when compare with the airbed.

旅程那麼多天，不是衝衝趕路便是每天忙著跑景點，晚上回家只想好好休息，想看看書做點資料搜集的精神也拿不出來。藉著在布達佩斯停留時間充裕，今天可以好好計劃之後兩個月的行程。想想還是否按照計劃到斯洛文尼亞、波斯尼亞和黑山還去嗎、還會跟克羅地亞人一起攔車遊意大利嗎、怎樣回到慕尼黑呢？這一切未來幾天將會有答案。

Since the day I started my trip, I was so busy with travel around and did sightseeing. I just wanted to take some rest at night and I cannot even have the energy to read or do some research on my trip. As I will stay in Budapest for a rather long duration, I can slow down my pace and do some planning for the upcoming two months. I needed to think about if I should visit Slovenia as planned, how about Bosnia and Montenegro? Will I still hitchhike with the Croatian in Italy? How should I get back to Munich? There will be answer to all these questions.

2014 Macau 澳門 2D1N Walking All the Way 大暴走

週末到了澳門，兩日一夜自由行，因為新屋先生和美國朋友Samir 也同時到了香港，所以順理成章便成了三人行。
We visited Macau in the weekend. It was a 2D1N travel with Mr. New House and a friend from America – Samir since they both visited HK at the same period. It was a trip with 3.

[歐洲 匈牙利 Europe Hungary] Day 43 Become Rich!! 做個有錢人!!

銀行回覆我的戶口及提款咭運作正常，對於這個說法我還是半信半疑，即管再到銀行嘗試，如果真的不行我一定會寫一封憤怒的電郵投訴！！！去過幾間銀行內的櫃員機，發現都需要在門口刷卡才能進入，我每一次都是跟其他客人進入，因為之前試過刷提款咭或信用咭都沒反應。

The Bank informed me the bank account and the debit card worked normal. I doubt if it is the truth, but I went to the bank to try withdraw money again. In case I failed again, I would definitely write a complain letter to the bank. I have been to several ATM inside a bank, all of them require swiping the card at the door for verification. Everytime I tried using my cards, I failed to pass the verification. Therefore, I will follow people in most of the time.

[歐洲 匈牙利 Europe Hungary] Day 42 Poor Travel Budapest 窮鬼遊布達佩斯

第一天在布達佩斯，首要事情當然是解決錢的問題，離開斯洛伐克前我把幾十英鎊換成匈牙利貨幣HUF，那裡只有20鎊 (約240港幣)。Adam告訴我匈牙利有銀聯的提款機，所以應該不成問題。找到提款機有如找到希望，當我滿入歡喜輸入密碼及提款金額後，畫面顯示交易不成功，我做個有錢人的夢幻滅了。

The first thing to do in Budapest is exchange money. I exchanged Hungarian Forint (HUF) with 20 pounds before leaving Slovakia, but it is just equal to HKD240. Adam told me there are Union pay ATM in Hungary, so it should not be a problem. When I found the Union pay ATM, I was so excited and found my hope. I entered my PIN and the withdrawal amount but the transaction was not accepted. My dream to become rich has vanished.

[歐洲 斯洛伐克 Europe Slovakia] Day 41 On my way, Back to my track 繼續獨自上路

整天都提不起勁，因為跟Moritz餘下的時間還不夠12小時，什麼都沒心情去做。

I was not in the mood the entire day because I only have less than 12 hours to be with Moritz, I don't feel like doing anything.

[歐洲 斯洛伐克 Europe Slovakia] Day 40 Charming all the time 魅力沒法擋

舟車勞頓之下，10時才起床，如果不是肚餓，相信會繼續睡。這裡沒有Krakow的摩登餐廳，也沒有供應到下午4時的早餐，全都是直至11時，所以假如你看不上三文治或長法包，基本上就沒有其他選擇。

After the adventure yesterday, I woke up at 10am. If I was not feeling hungry, I believed I could sleep late. We cannot find the modern breakfast place like those in Krakow, nor restaurants provided breakfast till 4pm. All the breakfast last until 11am only. Therefore, if you do not want sandwiches or baguette, you do not have much options left.

[歐洲 斯洛伐克 Europe Slovakia] Day 39 What an adventure!!! 真心大冒險!!!

今天又是移動日，Moritz會跟我到最後一站斯洛伐克Bratislava。根據網絡資料，在昨天去塔塔山的巴士站有巴士到Poprad火車站, 然後可以轉火車到Bratislava, 我們的確看到早上有到Poprad 的巴士時間表，所以便在車站等著。可是快到發車時間還未見巴士開始感到疑惑，便問車上的司機巴士什麼時候到。誰知他說那巴士只在夏季行駛，而夏季的定義是6 月15日。今天是6月6日，所以巴士還在路上，還有10天才會到達。哈哈。

Today is day of relocation. Moritz will travel with me to the last destination - Bratislava, Slovakia. According to the information on the internet, the bus stop where we left to Tatra has bus to Poprad train station, from Poprad we could take train to Bratislava. We did find the bus schedule with bus leaving in the morning to Poprad, so we waited at the stop. However, we did not see any bus even it was time for departure. We asked one of the driver at the stop to see when will the bus come. He said the bus operates only in Summer and the definition of Summer is not until 15 June. Today is 6 June which means the bus is still on the way and will be here in 10 days.. lol

[歐洲 波蘭扎科帕內 Europe Zakopane Poland] Day 38 Conquer Tatra 征服塔塔山

早上起來發現天空放晴，開開心心吃過早餐。

The weather was nice in the morning, we could have the sunshine. It made the breakfast taste better.

[歐洲 波蘭扎科帕內 Europe Zakopane Poland] Day 37 Before Tatra 登山前夕

離開Krakow前往Zakopane 也是令我興奮的，因為我即將可以登上期待已久的塔塔山，當初安排Zakopane塔塔山也猶豫不決，因為擔心自已一個登山應付不來，加上登上路徑五花八門，真的有點手足無措。但之後Moritz表示可以隨行，令我信心大增，大家有商有量去達成目標，令我覺得這個男人很可靠。
Leaving Krakow to Zakopane is something I looked forward. I will hike up to Tatra Mountain for the stunning scenery. I hesitated to hike or not at the beginning, because of the safety to hike alone and the various routes on the mountain made me headache. However when Moritz said he could join me, I was confidence to conquer this challenge. We discussed with each other and worked out for a best plan. The whole process convinced me this guy is really responsible.

[歐洲 波蘭克拉科夫 Europe Krakow Poland] Day 36 Rest Day 休息日

我們是睡在客廳的沙發，所以半夜Stefan 回來都能聽見，我們還聽到不止他，還有另一把女人的笑聲，過了不久門鈴再響，是第二把女聲，我當時半睡半醒，所以也沒有理會便又再沉睡。甚至乎之後Tequila跳上沙發，壓在我和Moritz 腿間跟我們一起睡或是鑽來鑽去換個更舒服的姿勢，我也沒有理會，睡到天亮。

We slept on the couch in the living room, so we can hear Stefan was back in late night. He was not alone but with a girl because I heard a woman giggle. After a while, the doorbell rang. It was another voice of a woman. I was not full awake, so I didnt find out what happened but fell asleep immediately. Even Tequila jumped on the couch in the middle of the night to sleep on our legs and moved around for the best posture, I ignored it to sleep till the morning.

[歐洲 波蘭克拉科夫 Europe Auschwitz Poland] Day 35 Auschwitz Concerntration Camp 奧斯威辛集中營

早上9時出發到巴士站前往Auschwitz集中營，我們怕集中營沒有食物或只有昂貴的餐廳，所以臨行前買了很多麵包肚餓時吃。最後一刻趕上了集中營巴士，上車那一刻我覺得自己好像當時的猶太人即將被送往集中營。

We headed to the bus stop to Auschwitz Concerntration Camp at 9am. We worried that there is no food in the camp or only expensive restaurants, so we bought some bread just in case. We caught the camp bus in the last minute. The moment I got on the bus, I felt like I was the Jewish being sent to the camp.

[歐洲 波蘭克拉科夫 Europe Krakow Poland] Day 34 Jewish Heritage Path 猶太歷史路線

昨晚被嚇得跌在地上，整天坐下時屁股就很痛，加上昨晚睡在地上令身體僵硬，令整個人很累，真的要盡快離開Cafe Marek。

I fell on the ground last night and my butt was hurt when I sit down. Together with the uncomfortable carpet bed made my body in pain too. I was feeling so tired and wanna get out of Cafe Marek's place asap.

[歐洲 波蘭克拉科夫 Europe Krakow Poland] Day 33 Nothing is Impossible 世事真的無絕對

又再踏上旅途，又再一次8人座車廂，又再一次全廂滿坐，我和Moritz對坐著窗口位置。

We are on the road again; we sit on the 8-person carriage again; and it is once again a full house. Moritz and I sit opposit in the window side.
