Yaktrax saved my vacation.
I know, I know — it sounds dramatic, but it's true. Two weeks back, I went to Budapest, Hungary, which is a lovely historical city in central Europe (and not too far from the U.K., where I live!). This location, however, means the winters are much harsher than those in Britain. Where I live, you're lucky if you get one snowflake. Budapest, however, had just seen an unprecedented amount of snow — it was so bad that the airport closed two days before I was due to arrive.
