We chose our current campsite as it had the major advantage of a bus stop just a short walk away at Zugligeti Libego and a 20 minute ride on the 291 into Budapest through the leafy suburbs of the city on the Buda side of the Danube.
Marta, the campsite matriarch, was able to sell us tickets for one of the Hop on Hop off City Buses and we purchased a 48 hour ticket, with a discount for Ray 😉 She also informed us that Ray qualified for free travel on all public transport, bargain!
I purchased my single journey ticket of 450 Forint on the bus and made sure to validate it there and then.
Today we were up at, for us, sparrow fart. The intention was to beat the crowds and visit the largest and oldest of the meteora monasteries The Great Meteoron Monastery.
A chance meeting after dinner in the beachside bar at Enjoy Lichnos on Tuesday night has led to us moving today up to Meteora a UNESCO listed group of rock formations with six precipitously built monasteries perched on top.
