Hungary

Chapter 36 - Hungary


 Dear Diary...

I dont know from where to start... but I will !!!

This can be a long chapter, so its better if I make some points to get things organized.
This chapter is all about the time I have been on Stand with Mum and Dad in Hungary.
Things can get a bit confusing but let me explain...
First we were in Hungary to go to OZORA Festival, then we drove to Romania and after that we drove back to Hungary to relax for a few days before we got back on the road.
During this time when we stayed in Hungary ( with Mums family) many things happened, for this reason I will make some points first...
* Cleaning
* Fiesta
* Picnic by the river
* Mums (pre) birthday.

Ok, After we left our friends in Budapest (Read last chapter) we stopped in Hungary for 12 days.

When Mum and Dad arrived from the Festival they were very tiered from all the drive and dance, so they decide to stopped in Hungary for some days to relax and waiting to listen from a friend about some work in France (lets leave France for a different chapter ;)

* So, first they gave me a very good clean inside and outside. I was fresh as a daisy :)


 * Some days after we had a fest in the town where we were (grummmmtpsss) .
Very funny place but very small too with a fest goin into the night till 2 am :/ anyyywayyyyyy....
Mum and Dad managed to get very drunk and Dance for the folcloric sounds of popular Hungarian artists.
That was a register ;)
Funny street fest. For a couple of days was lots of Artesian showing they're hand work in the street. Interesting and very regional .



* After the fiesta, Mum and Dad decided to take mum`s k-niece Szabina Rácz and her friend Jani Rikker to the river so they could have the experience to sleep inside a Camper Van, as they have never slept in a Camper Van before;)
Very funny !!
Dad parked me 2 fingers away from river Danube.
No one was passing around, so we camp and made the space very cosy and friendly to be there for a couple of days.
Do I need to say, that was brilliant ??
Yes, Swimming, Barbecuing, Drinking, relaxing and... Sleeping :) (at 500 m of a camping park...oopppssss ;)

 After the camping we had a (pre) Birthday Party for Mum. Her family knew  that Mum will be away by that time when she will became 43 Years Old ... Did I say 43 ?? Sorry Mum ... Its 57 Years Old... eh ne !? :)
Oii...opps..mum shouting...says she is only 27...lol




After some more relaxing days at home (in Hungary), Mum and Dad have received the (sooo wait) message from Mercedes with the directions to France
.
YES... Mum and Dad will be Driving from Hungary to France to go pick apples but before that, I need to tell you some more adventures.
Do you want to know what adventures I am talk about ?
INSERT COIN

Yes... what you think !?
When I get to the scrap yard, you will be crying for more adventures.
So Please... save me from the scrap yard and
INSERT COIN

Ok, I tell you...
The next chapter will be...
...
A surprise :)

Keep your Ears open to read the next chapter of...

On the Road - Hungary

Chapter 30 - On the Road - From Austria to  Hungary



Dear Diary...

I know you are waiting for one more of my adventures , wont yhaa ??
If not ... I have a couple of adventures anyway

If you like my adventures
if you dont like my adventures

off we go:

After I stopped in Austria for a couple of days, (Mums family) they drove me down to the other part of Austria Vienna

I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THE PLACE !!!

First, from the place where I was to Vienna took me 2 hours, after I arrived in Vienna I was jumping everywhere... O MY GOD !
The roads in Vienna are disgraceful, they have this train rails crossing the roads  PLUS is holes everywhere in the road... (No am not posh, Am English !!)

I really didnt like and I had a tantrum :/ Yes, I started to make a very loud noise that everyone in the street was looking at me.
Now, you ask me... why ?
and I answer,

I hate that roads and I was screaming loud as i could.
You want to know how I sound ??
Is a sound like... metal scratching metal.

OK, lets be serious about this, mum and Dad jump out of me and they look everywhere, the sound was coming out of one of my rear wheel but they looked everywhere and everything looked ok.
Dad suspected that it was the disc break from the wheel but later he found that the noise was made by the wheel cover which moved out of the place with so much holes in the road.

of course this make the wheel cover move out of place , which push forward the Renault symbol in the center wheel to scratch the metal part of the wheel and make a very loud and annoying noise ..
.
Thats me ! Dont like ? ask for the complains book !!

After Dad stopped and had a good look on my wheel, we notice this issue and hammer it in..
 That night we visited some Friends in Vienna, next morning they drove around 100 miles and we will reach HUNGARY :) 

MORE ADVENTURES !? yes, here is another adventure happening in Vienna...
The parking system in Vienna is very strange (you have to buy -tickets and go to the parking space to change the ticket hour by hour.
This was not the trouble, the trouble was when Dad try to go into a closed car park wish was recommended for cars not bigger than 2.05m high...
We did past the first barrier as I am only 2.00m high but when we get down the ramp to go into the parking spaces , the ramp roof did get smaller and touch my roof :
RESULT ... I had to reverse inside of the car park and come out true the other door (out door)  COMPLAINS BOOK PLEASE..
This people do not comply with the rules show in the first warnings !
In the top metal bar on the car park , it say 2.05m but once you go down the will into the car park, the space gets small between the roof and the floor and come down to 2.00m !!

Off course, I couldn't make a U turn in the meddle of the ramp and I have to get back to the (out door) in reverse mode.
Dad is a brilliant driver but this guys in Austria have to go to the school to learn measurements ! AAARRRGGG... I Really didn't like this piece of the planet call Austria !!
Wheel its fine for now but tomorrow and until we are stopping at Mums family, dad will take the wheel  off and have a close look.
Mean time...

I AM IN HUNGARY :)

If you want more chapters of Freeka wait till tomorrow ;)

Chapter 23 - Cosmo Festival

Chapter 23 - Cosmo Festival
 Dear Diary...

What an adventure !!
Cosmo Festival was amazing, nice people, good vibe, good music and good ... weather ;)
Driving there was just over 2 hours.
Mum, Dad, and 2 other friends, Claudia and Yan (known as Alian.)
Festival started on Friday and finished Sunday night but we only had to leave the place by Monday (12 o'clock)
Trucks, camper-vans and caravans, was a bit of everything.

They had two stages , one for Progressive trance music (Dad call it step on eggs dance) and other for hard psy, full on psy, dark psy, night psy or whatever you guys like to call to that psychedelic music.
PLUS a chill-out tent with vegetarian food.

No children allowed, no dogs allowed, no alcohol allowed. Alcohol was only allowed if brought inside.
Dad just realized why my last name is TRAFIC !!! yes, I have loooots of secret tunnels that are very good for this type of social repression.
Do you want to know where are the tunnels ??

Yes, do you really think I would tell you ???
Not even if you insert a £20 note :)


Anyway, was brilliant weekend and we enjoyed it big time.
Very nice to see some friends... from Brighton to Bristol, from London to Wales, from Swindon to Finland :)
No confrontations or causality's... a part of the usual (alien) causality's you will see in some photos ;)
Security was friendly and smiling, everyone had a good time ;)

Mum and Dad took lots of photos but I will post here only some where you can see me and friends.
(At the end , this is my blog and they have used and abused of my space)

Just arrived ;)
All set up with flag and everything !
 


 
 
 Mum and Dad always like to have friends around for a coffee.
 

 

 
A bit of cash in hand. Why not ? everyone has his own way to make it ;)
 
 The troops !
 
 Am not a 5 stars hotel but I am very comfortable even for friends ;)
 
 Some things will never change !!!
 
 Privacy moment for the lady's...
 

 
Sundays will never change !!


As you can see, I was very useful.
Shame the music in the Festival stopped every night at 4 am... that is UK festivals for you ! : O

Now is time to get ready for the long travels, Hungary then Transylvania then France ;)
Mean time, Dad need to change my filters and oil PLUS need to get a spear tyre.
And you know what ??

Do you think I am rude !?
Dad say exactly the same... but ey... Thats life !

Ok, so for you to don't get bad impression about me, I will give you some more photos of this marvellous weekend at the Festival and I hope you enjoy.




Wait for more adventures of ...Freeka Trafic
The vintage raver !
