Had a fantastic weekend in Budapest. For the time of year the weather
was excellent, cold but clear sunny skies. We used the public transport,
bus train and underground, but with plenty of walking on both the Buda
side and Pest side of the Danube.
The architecture and buildings are magnificent, some renovated with
lots of care and others that haven't changed at all, almost falling down.
The one downside is you look up at a lovely 4 or 5 storey building, only
to find fucking McDonald's on the ground floor!
The Shoes on the Danube Promenade was very moving. You don't get
the same feeling looking at the pictures. Have a look if you go.
Local beer and food was top notch. I look like a bowl of goulash!
Recommend it before it changes too much.
