It was surprising to wake up to pouring rain and a temperature of only 13 degrees when we thought we were only going to be experiencing warm summer weather. We walked the couple of blocks to the bus station in steady rain to catch the 9.30am bus to Budapest, lucky we weren't visiting Plitvice today, it would have been horrible.
It took quite a while to do the border crossing between Croatia and Hungary, as normal all our passports were gathered up by the bus driver but a little later we were told to get off the bus. Then one by one our name and country were called out and we had to collect our passport and get back on the bus.
Once we arrived in Budapest we tried to get a taxi to our apartment but the driver made all kind of excuses for not wanting to take us, including its a busy weekend this weekend .... who cares aren't you a taxi? We ended up tackling the metro and finally made it to our lovely apartment where the owner told us that it was a big weekend in Budapest, something called the Red Bull Air Race was on, we had never heard of it.
The streets seemed to be full of groups of tourists, including young English girls and guys apparently on cheap weekend breaks.
