Miscellaneous Budapest

A few more pix from Budapest, which we have enjoyed immensely.
We stayed at Camping Haller, virtually downtown Pest, a
couple tram stops from the Danube; free showers, free wifi,
every 4th night free; free washers, but no dryers (which
gave me the opportunity to walk some distance through
the working-class neighborhoods--twice--to the laundromat)







Subway sign for hi-def TV (we think); still processing this
one...but you can see how difficult it is for us to follow
anything in the language










Non-conformist hotel









A wall near the Castle; the Russians besieged Budapest for
some months in 1944; the bullet and shell holes here were
preserved...








Eastern-bloc T-bird












"Oh, shit! Where's my arrow?!"




































Much later: we bought this train for Penelope in Budapest
at a store called Two TeddyBears Toygallery (Ket Macko
Jatekgaleria)
