[06:30am] Roommate never came home last night. Apparently he rode solo into Budapest yesterday so when our TDA caravan arrived at 4pm, he had already trashed Room #217 and was gone. Couple of wet towels were hung up in the bathroom, a partial glass of beer was sitting on the sink, the bathmat was soaking wet and hanging inside the shower stall, there was litter in both garbage containers, his personal bag was sitting on the open floor near the window (near the bed he always prefers), and his helmet/shoes/water bottles/gloves were on and under the desk. So, as per usual, I made do with the space that was left over: chose the bed space near the toilet wall, got a clean towel from Reception, and worked on my photos & blog in the Lobby (so that I wouldn't disturb the gear he'd left around the desk). But when I woke up this morning, he hadn't been back. Maybe he got lucky? Who knows?
[17:30pm] Buffet breakfast at the hotel then out at 9am to catch the Hop-on Hop-off Bus for a double-decker tour of Budapest. Lots of historic and interesting sights:

Riding an open-top bus and open-top tour boat in the sun on a hot day is quite de-energising, about 3:30pm it's time to call it a day and head back to the hotel for a shower, then edit photos & the blog.
