We spent whole Wednesday traveling to Hungary along the route: Edinburgh-Glasgow-Prestwick-Budapest-Miskolc. It took around 12 hours from door to door. Everything went pretty well except that I had a bit too heavy suitcase and Ryanair charged me for one overweight kilo which equals 12 pounds. So, if you happen to be flying with plenty of luggage it is worth of checking other options as well. For example easyJet allows 20 kg suitcases without overweight fee compared to Ryanair's 15 kilos. Also the price of extra kilo is 6 GBP compared to 12 GBP.
Yesterday we were busy with closing our Hungarian bank accounts. There were no troubles but as an interesting detail I can tell now that closing Raiffeisen account was free but at OTP you had to pay some handling fees. Then it was time to spend some left over forint notes so we did some shopping and visited dentist. Check up, cleaning and one small filling in a clean and modern private clinic in Miskolc was 55 GBP. The NHS fee for that would be 44.60 GBP but I happy that I got that tooth fixed at the early stage.
I had previous check one year ago and at that time there was something very small but not worth of fixing. I guess my lunch habits in Edinburgh are way unhealthier than in Budapest. In Edinburgh I often take a lunch offer from Boots store which includes drink, sandwich and snack. And that snack is usually Mars or Snickers bar...
Today it is raining and I don't have too much to do. Dóra is at the hairdresser because tomorrow we will visit her cousin's wedding. On Sunday we will go to Slovakia for a trekking so I'd better take partying easily.
