On Whitsunday 2025 (June 8), we began our long journey to Turkey in our motorhome, traveling through Austria, Hungary, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Thanks to the excellent highways, we reached the Turkish border after 10 days – including several two-day stops. Our first stop was breathtaking Budapest, the capital of Hungary, where we were both visiting for the first time.

The Hungarian Parliament

We found a good parking spot in a suburb about 10 km southwest of the center, so we took our bikes and spent a whole day strolling through downtown Budapest, including Margaret island in the mighty Danube.
