Cool post! However, the picture of the “Hungarian” currency actually depicts Romanian currency–lei.

Ha, those Hungarians love their fines to foreigners! We had the same issue driving over from the Czech Republic – pulled over for “speeding” and passports and I were held while my husband drove to an ATM for some cash!

I love that top photo. And this is cute story, too. Glad that you got away with such a small fine.

Great story. I look back at pictures I took before I got my ‘real” camera and just shudder. How did we ever survive?

No plans, just a plane ticket and hotel room — sounds perfect! This looks like such an amazing place to visit. Thanks for sharing!

Oh man! I love stories of compassion and reasonable law enforcement overseas, especially on a day bearing sad news in the Amanda Knox verdict. Yay for you staying safe overseas!

Nice story! It’s good to know you are a noble woman and would bail your man out of a Hungarian prison.

Ah, I look back over previous trips and wish I’d bought a better camera earlier. Still a good story, though

Your photos still look good even with the crap camera.
