Again, we chose Budapest, a
city we like. There are lots of fine old houses, some restored but most
buildings just outside the center seem to still wait for a helping hand.
It has a relaxed attitude, with many outdoor cafes, coffee shops,
markets, and not forgetting the exquisitely beautiful thermal spas,
which you get to by subway, tram or bus, all free for a 65-year-old.

We landed pretty early so to quickly feed the screaming stomachs we took place on a very simple outdoor terrace in the town center. It seemed popular with the locals, usually a good sign. We took langos, it tasted good but was almost impossible to eat with the most pitiful plastic cutlery we've ever seen. |
||||||
When the stomach was full the throat must have something refreshing. We
found a wine cellar, Királyi Borok Kinstára, of the larger kind. |

![]() Den första kvällen njöt vi av värmen och den upplysta staden. Det va smått magiskt. The first evening we enjoyed the warmth and the illuminated city on a walk. It was somewhat magical.
|
||||||
![]() När vi gått över bron på förra bilden mötte oss den här synen. Vi vet inte om han verkligen friade eller om det var något slags modelljobb. Kanske en bild till deras inbjudan till deras bröllop? Vad vet jag? When we crossed the bridge on the last picture this vision met us. We do not know if he really proposed marriage or if it was some kind of modeling job. Maybe the picture for the invitation to their wedding? What do I know? |
||||||
![]() Den andra dagen tog vi oss till Saluhallen. Saluhallen som vi besökte så gott som dagligen de gånger vi förut besökt Budapest. Den här dagen var det lite speciellt eftersom jag fyllde år. Det skålar vi på.
|
||||||
![]() Vyn från ovanvåningen i saluhallen är mäktig. The view from the upper floor of the market hall is mighty. |

|

Mammut, one of the great shopping malls, had this odd decoration on the ceiling. A whole menagerie lived upsidedown at the roof. |
||||||
![]() Vi åkte alla transportmedel som fanns att tillgå. Spårvagnarna, tunnelbanorna och bussarna fanns i alla åldrar. Allt i från gamla nästan museimässiga till ultramoderna. Här en tunnelbana av senaste snitt med inga avdelade vagnar, man kunde passera alla vagnar precis som på ett tåg men utan störande dörrar att behöva öppna.

Kiraly Thermal
bath. |
||||||
![]() Vi hade inte badat i ett av Budapests turkiska thermalbad trots att vi stått i kön till Rudás. Då var badets gamla delar stängt p.g.a. renovering. Nu skulle det bli av men det var inte Rudás som vi besökte först av de turkiska baden utan Kiraly. Det varma källvattnet
innehåller: We
had not taken a bath in one of Budapest's Turkish thermal baths even
though we stood in the queue to Rudas a couple of years ago. Then the
bath was closed for renovation of old parts. Now it would happen but it
was not Rudas we first |
||||||
One day we visited Budapest Zoo. That visit is reported elsewhere. On the way home we passed the Heroes' Square. A must in the city. |
||||||
![]() På hemväg genom stadsparken passerade vi Városliget Café & Restaurant från 1895. Framför byggnaden brukar det vara en stor damm. Den var nu helt torrlagd och man höll på att rigga med tält och stolar och bord inför någon evenemang på dammbotten. On the way home through the city park we passed Városliget Café & Restaurant from 1895. In front of the building, it is usually a large pond. It was now completely dried up and they was rigging tents and chairs and tables facing a event on the pond bottom.
|
||||||
In the city park are many stunning buildings. Eg giant bath Széchenyi
and Vajdahunjad castle . The castle imitates a castle from Transylvania.
First built of wood and cardboard for the World Expo 1896. It became so
popular that they rebuilt it in stone. Surely, Count Dracula be able to
stay here? |
||||||
![]() I denna magnifika del av Vajdahunjad ligger ett jordbruksmusseum. In this magnificent part of Vajdahunyad is an agricultural museum. |
||||||
Grof Károlyi Sándor 1831 - Hungarian politicians. |
||||||
![]() Bara ett kort stycke från förra statyn finns denna populära staty, kallad Anonymous. Visst skulle han passa i Sagan om ringen eller Stjärnornas krig?
|
||||||
As in many countries, it is important how to present their goods. In the
market hall seems particularly important, but also in ordinary grocery
store. |

![]() En och annan grönsak i prydliga rader.
Vegetable in neat rows. |

After much persuasion also Siwan went for a haircut. It became sooo
good. |
||||||
|
![]() Så här snygg blev hon, och det efter klippning på en salong i en supermarket. This is how pretty she got, and that after a haircut at a salon in a supermarket. |
