BUDAPEST: PEARL OF THE DANUBE

"The trouble is, you think you have time."
- Buddha


The beautiful river of the Danube flows elegantly through Budapest in the most grandeur manner. With Buda on the West and Pest on East of the river, there is modest competition between the locals as to which is the 'better side'. This was very reminiscent to Perth: North of the river vs South of the river. A constant friendly debate between my partner and I, who reside in different parts of the city.

My partner and I often have late-night strolls on the riverside of Perth however none in any city I have ever visited so far is comparable to the fairy-tale ambience of the Danube river in Budapest. The late-night strolls in this alluring city was the most enchanting experience. Cold crisp nights with lights glistening off the surface of the waters like diamonds. The night was sparkling. Hand in hand with my partner, I'd spend forever wondering if I would ever experience this calm euphoria feeling again. Romantic was an understatement. It was flawless.

VIENNA: THE IMPERIAL CITY

"What is to give light must endure burning."
- Victor Frankl


Europe was 5 months ago, I know... and I haven't even uploaded photos of Vienna yet, which is only halfway through my European escapade. Nonetheless, let's get this done! Vienna, Austria, known as the Imperial City is so immensely grand and beautiful when it comes to the excitement of Christmas. Could you believe there was not a single Christmas market in Rome when we were there a fortnight before Christmas? Vienna held the most amazing Christmas markets I have ever experienced, surpassing those of Amsterdam, Belgium and Italy. Christmas markets. At. Every. Square. Possible.
