A tour of Budapest.

I woke up to a very dark first and pouring rain. My favourite things!
I didn't get up 'til 8.30. Daylight saving her at the moment - until this weekend.
Laszlo cake at 9.30. 
Firstly to the market for food. -

A magnificent building with masses of food - meat and veg + souvenirs+ homewares. On the next floor food - so much to choose from. I had goulash soup. It was delicious. No picture!
my coffee was so good!
After the market we went to the museum you see the World Press photographic exhibition and whatever else was in.
and one from Australia.
The toilet doors at the museum
inside the toilet!
Then we saw an exhibition of Roman objects tha were found
saved then I saw this
a Daveena pride and joy!
Street that we went past the Synagogue - the largest I think in Europe. It explains the sympathy towards Israel. A large Jewish population here. Budapest tried to protect then during the war but in the end they were rounded up and sent to camps. All so terrible.

A beautiful building. 
then we found another
so beautifully built.
this was a man I fancied on the train!
We meet Ildi who had driven from Szeged. Then our tour started. A beautiful drive to Banská Štiavnica. We went for a long uphill walk for dinner. Found a delightful historic place and had a wonderful dinner. I had beef goulash!

    That market looks amazing. Reminds me of Barcelona - so many things and everything looks so delicious. I think that man's hat is so smart to.

My last day in Bologna

Up early this morning for my free coffee and brioche. I did rest before I went. A delightful breakfast! the noodles were ok but I didn't drain the tuna enough so it was a bit wet - yuk! But it was protein! I thought I would walk to the railway station today to see if it was ok for tomorrow. It's an easy route which is good.  It was a lovely walk. Lots of shops but also historic sites that I would never have found otherwise. it looks like the Gateway of India. No clue. the railway station. the same gateway from the other end. It looks like a most around it with ruins - maybe Roman. those look very deep - maybe something to do with the canals. it was a fun find. the across a road there's was this.  and this? It looked like the whole lot of it was a welcome to the city. The only thing I could find was from Google maps. Bologna, Emilia-Romagna http...

I've done the packing but I've got too much stuff. Only 4 sleeps so need to sort this soon. Apart from packing there's the garden, a tree to be sorted, bookings still to be sorted..... Another day and a relook and a repack and all is well. Everything fits and the bag was easy to do up! That means room for expansion. 😊  Now it's only 2 sleeps.
