Budapest Parliament Building at Night

by

It is hard to miss the Budapest Parliament building when it is lit up at night. You can see it from pretty much any vantage point in the city with a river view. This photo was taken in January of 2014, while I stood outside in the freezing cold trying to make sure the photo would turn out. Next time I will make sure to bring a tripod, and probably do a longer exposure. Can't … [Read more...] about Budapest Parliament Building at Night

Giant Swing at Oktoberfest in Munich

by

There is no better layover opportunity than Munich during the months of Oktoberfest. You can make it from the airport to the fairgrounds in about 30 minutes and have a beer in your hand within an hour. It's a fun visit for a solo traveler, but I highly recommend bringing a companion to get the most out of the experience. As I was waiting a socially acceptable amount of time … [Read more...] about Giant Swing at Oktoberfest in Munich
