## Trip to Budapest

Once Mutabor together with his friends had visited Budapest. A long trip by trains (pic 1) and we had reached this beautiful and eclectic city (pic 2–9). Budapest is the only capital in Europe (and maybe even in the world) where there are some caves right under the city! One of such caves is now converted into the church (pic 10–13). And the two caves are accessible for tourists: Szemlo-hegy cave (pic 14–27) and Pàlvölgyi cave (pic 28–31). And together with Lucy we had climbed the Gellert hill by some unusual way :) (pic 32)

Return to Budapest: Muddle and Fails

Once living in Germany I (Mutabor) had decided to meet with Alexandra Zero in Budapest. Alexandra would arrived to Budapest one day later, so I had a free day which I spent walking. This resulted in some new city impressions (pic 33–35), the discovery of an abandoned railway station with old cars (pic 36–44) and a small brook sewer under the railway (pic 45–49). I have also found out that the outlet of the famous Ördög-árok sewer is not anymore accessible (pic 50, 51).

Together with Alexandra we continued to walk in the city (pic 52–54) and tried to visit two well-known lost places that were inaccessible at that time (pic 55, 56). After that we tried to get into the same Ördög-árok sewer, but from the back side. At first it seemed to us that the there will be an easy trip: the sewer was high, wide and dry (pic 57). But soon things had changed: from the two attachments the strong stream of sewage filled the sewer (pic 58). Wearing water mocassines, it was possible to go a bit deeper in the sewer. On the way I saw some manholes, but the lugs were completely destroyed by rust, so they were not suitable for getting out (pic 59). And finally the water level became so high, that even water mocassines were not enough to go (pic 60). The full water-proof suit was needed to explore this sewer fully. So another fail...

Next day I had some time before the flight to Berlin (Alexandra had left Budapest earlier). I walked a bit more and found out a depot, which was abandoned from one side (pic 61), but being used from the other (pic 62). So I have many reasons to come back to Budapest :)
