4 Day Trip to Budapest - 17-20 Feb 2003 Parliament Building as seen from Buda Castle Hill - Budapest Feb2003 Ever since the fall of communism in Eastern Europe in the early 1990s, I had wanted to visit many of the countries that used to be known as “being behind the Iron Curtain”. It’s hard to explain to young people nowadays just how little contact we in the West had with the affected countries …and how segregated the world was. In 2003, I got the opportunity to holiday in Budapest, capital of Hungary, with my buddies from work, Ailish and Aideen. My bucket list blog this week covers our trip.

 Little Mermaid Statue - Copenhagen, Denmark The first overseas trip I took with Charlie is very memorable for a few reasons. Firstly, it was Valentine’s Weekend 2006, secondly we flew to the beautiful Danish city of Copenhagen….and thirdly we were almost frozen solid! Never before or since have I felt so cold….as a bitter east wind blew in from the Baltic making the already below zero temperatures ever colder with the wind chill. That said, we still really enjoyed our short trip and I hope to revisit one day – in the summertime!
