Last day in Zurich

EN - Our last day in Zurich was beautiful , we had all kind of weather but mostly sunshine. In the morning we searched for a coffee bar that has free wifi. Not an easy task, plus most of them open only after 11. We decided to just try it out there sitting on a bench, it worked. Then we moved to the near by coffee shop and had my coffee, it was funny because the coffee shop was an adult xxx style bar ( we won't post those pictures here ... haha ). After lunch at Burger King we slept in the park next to the Zurich National Museum, it was nice and sunny . Now , recharged and fed we choosed a different area to visit, it was a great site as you can see from the photos. After a short rain, the sun came out again, awesome for picture taking. We spent the evening taking photos, although it was getting a little cold. Around 9:30 we decided that we made enough photos for the day ( about 600 ) and we went back to the airport for another night, the last one in Zurich this time. The flight it was short again and I'm writting from Budapest airport now, where is free wifi and we are thinking how to get to the bus station. I will write a full review of the trip at home after I sleep and take a shower, the first one in 4 days.

RO - Ultima zi in Zurich a fost frumoasa, am avut tot felul de vreme dar in general soare. Prima parte a zilei am petrecut-o in cautare de internet wifi gratuit, ceea ce nu e lucru usor in Elvetia. Dupa o vreme am decis sa incerc doar asa intr-o piata si spre norocul nostru a mers. Ne-am asezat pe o terasa din apropiere si am baut o cafea. Abia dupa aceea am observat ca era un bar pentru adulti xxx, nu ne-am asteptat la asa ceva ( pozele alea nu o sa le postam aici ... haha ). Pranzul l-am luat de la Burger King, un fel de Mc'Donalds cu portii mai mari si mai bune, imi placea in America mult. Ne-am asezat pe iarba in parcul de langa Muzeul National al Elvetiei si dupa ce am mancat am si atipit putin la soare, a fost relaxant. Acum , cu forte proaspete am pornit din nou sa exploram si sa vedem alte locuri frumoase si sa mai facem poze. Pe la 21 :30 am decis sa ne intoarcem la aeroport , pentru ultima noapte din Zurich.
Zborul din Zurich a fost scurt , acum ne aflam in aeroportul din Budapesta de unde va scriem si postam pozele si ne gandim cum sa ajungem la statia de unde porneste autocarul spre Targu Mures. Voi reveni cu un rezumat al intregii calatorii dupa ce ajungem acasa dormim si facem un dus, primul in 4 zile.

Zurich is beautiful on Mondays too !

EN - Still in Zurich.

Today the weather was finally really nice, sunny and the sky was beautiful. To bad that we had to run between the airport and Zurich . We had some good times anyway, some more great photos around an awesome castle. What can I say, even without money you can enjoy Switzerland, there is so much to see that it keeps you fascinated and you almost forget about everything else.
We checked the bus rides - all booked until the next Monday. We also checked the train -it is booked for the next couple days also , it doesn’t matter because we could not afford it anyway.
The airport and the airlines did nothing to inform or accommodate all the stranded travelers , it’s all up to everyone to manage how they can.
Tomorrow we might just go again to the city and find something new to see and do.

RO - Tot in Zurich.

Azi vremea a fost in sfarsit frumoasa, soare cu un cer frumos. Problema a fost ca am facut naveta intre aeroport si oras pentru ca am avut rucsacii la aeroport.
Ne-am distrat si asa insa, am facut niste poze excelente, am mai vazut o parte din parada si am vizitat in castel foarte frumos. Adevarul este ca Elevetia este atat de frumoasa incat si fara bani multi te mentine fascinat si uiti de probleme oarecum.
Am incercat sa gasim autocar la budapesta insa fara noroc, totul este ocupat pana Luni. La fel si trenul, ocupat pentru urmatoarele trei zile, dar oricum trenul e exagerat de scump si nu ne-am fi permis.
Aeroportul si liniile aeriene nu au facut nimic sa informeze si sa ajute in vreun fel pe calatori, asa ca fiecare e de capul lui aici si se descurca cum poate.
Maine vom merge din nou in Zurich si daca vremea va coopera vom incerca sa descoperim alte locuri frumoase pe care nu le-am vazut inca.

Zurich

EN - We’ll start where we left over ...we are stuck in Zurich, airports are closed in most of the Europe. Our flight was supposed to be Monday morning 6 AM now we are hoping we can get on the next one which is one day later, Tuesday morning.
We visited all day Zurich, a very nice and beautiful city also, beautiful architecture all over the place. Unfortunately there is not much to do for us around here except walk and just take pictures. Everything is so expensive, food, drinks and don’t even want to mention hotels. The next 2 nights we’ll spend them in the airport. We’ll see how that works ????
Today there was also a parade, still don’t really know what was all about but we could see kids and adults dressed as people did in the past, different eras and a parade of different country’s national wear…that was a nice sight too in downtown Zurich.
That’s about it for now, it’s midnight here and we are sitting in the airport.
Take care everybody.

RO - O sa incepem acolo unde am terminat si anume ca am ramas blocati in Zurich, majoritatea aoroporturilor din Europa sunt inchise. Avionul nostru trebuia sa decoleze luni la 6 dimineata, acum nu mai putem face altceva decat sa speram ca ne vom imbarca in urmatorul, care este marti dimineata la aceasi ora.

Toata ziua am vizitat Zurich, deasemenea un oras frumos cu arhitectura imitate peste tot. Din pacate noi nu avem prea mult ce face aici decat sa ne plimbam si sa facem poze. Totul este extrem de scump aici, mancarea, bautura si sa nu mai mentionam hotelurile. Urmatoarele 2 nopti le vom petrece in aeroport, o sa vedem cum va fi si asta, … macar e cald aici..nu am mentionat pana acum ca e cam frig prin tara aceasta.

Tot astazi am vazut o parada , inca tot nu stim cu siguranta care a fost motivul dar ideea intru-un fel am prins-o, foarte multi copii si adulti imbracati in haine medieval si totodata o parada a porturilor nationale a mai multor tari.

Cam atat acum, aici e miezul noptii si noi suntem in aeroport.
Toate cele bune tuturor.

3rd World Kata Tournament

I'm not going to write much now. We are stuck in Zurich because of the volcano erruption and the internet here is not cheap. I will edit it later with the story for the last couple days. Take a look at the pictures for now.
