This is one example of the fantastic wall art you can find in Budapest.

It’s hard to believe this sci-fi-esque piece of architecture belongs to something as banal as a shopping centre! Spotted in Frankfurt on a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon back in September.

Germany is a well-connected country on mobile, generally speaking.
That being said, I found myself limited to 2G EDGE Internet or less in many parts of the town of Bacharach in the Rhine River valley.
It was mostly a blessing to be relatively disconnected … but if you really need to get something resembling high(er)-speed mobile Internet on 3G, it is possible in pockets of town, including a lookout tower along the town’s string of wonderful hiking trails (top photo) or in the courtyard/patio of the town’s youth hostel (second photo), reachable by an even windier hiking trail — or by road if you have a car/bike.
Your search for mobile connectivity will give you a great workout from the vertical ascent … and reward you with a fantastic view of Bacharach and the Rhine River (photo below).
It pays to look up …

There’s a lot of serious art in modern Europe commemorating very serious events in its history. Once in a while, however, you come across something like this statue along the Danube River in Budapest: It’s just plain whimsical, celebrating the joys of everyday living.
Happy Friday.

Hungarian on the fly!
17 Saturday Oct 2015
My Hungarian is only as good as what I could glean from the back pages of a travel guidebook … and I can’t speak to how good my accent is … but with a handy-dandy sign like this, who needs words? 🙂
Spotted along Andrassy Ut in Budapest back in September.
