Hi All,
Budapest is a suprisingly charming city. Weather warm and humid . Seems a clean and safe city.
Having been bombed very badly in WW11 and then occupied by the Russians for almost 5 decades, the city and the people are remarkably positive. They have been a Republic for the last 16 years and have embraced the westeren values without losing there own. Glad we came here.
Is also nice to get more balanced meals after the bread, cheese and meat diet that seems to dominate Italy. Bring on more goulash! The down side is that dinner costs 9000 forints. The good news is that the AU$ = 145 forints so we feel very rich. We changed AUS$400 2 days ago and got 58,000 forints. Needed a wheelbarrow to get out of the bank..
Stay safe everyone. Will blog from Athens in a day or so..
Lv Julie and Frank.
PS Soggy, Please let Alex know that we liked Budapest very much. He has nice relatives.
