BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

(Week #4)

"It's not a vacation, 
it's a lifestyle"

Blog Post #56

Matthias Church 
Mátyás-templom
1458 AD
sits high atop Buda Castle Hill
Magnificent design and architecture that stands the test of time

*

Funicular from the Danube River level 

up to Buda Hill

one tense traveler on the Funicular 

or maybe just studying the sites for his 

next awesome photo

Well, here is that Awesome Photo

The Floor of a Ruin Bar

*

Chimney Cakes

are Hungary's answer to

Churros in Mexico

Buñuelos in Spain

Donuts in the USA

Crêpes in France

1400 Ft (forints) = $4.95 USD

*

You may have seen these new eyeglasses 

in your local optical store, 

handmade from actual LP Albums

in Hungary

(we saw these in San Diego)

*

AQUINCUMI

3rd Century AD

is a Roman Ruin Town

on the outskirts of Budapest

AND

 it just so happens that a friend of ours in Palm Springs

is originally from Budapest where she, in her youth did

Archeological work in this very site. 

(small world)

town layout showing the streets, shops, baths, gardens, etc. 

as created by the Romans

*

Ruin Bar Sunday

"All you can eat brunch"

Every imaginable local food and drink item

you could ever imagine

for $17.00 USD

and there is a farmers market

to peruse as well

*

Rudas Baths

Rudas fürdo

of Budapest

We spent 5-6 hours here during two different occasions,  

it is relaxing, healing and historic (built in 1550) 

there are five pools with varying temperatures ranging from 

28-42 degrees Centigrade (82-107 Fahrenheit)

with a roof-top dipping pool that overlooks The Danube River

*

This might be my 

most favorite door ever

It's a bathroom door, 

and only one handle opens the door.

Let's hope you are not in a big hurry to get in

🤣

*

Toilet Money:  Always carry a few small coins of the currency for the country you are in; many train stations, public buildings and some airports require $0.50 cents to $1.00 USD for entry.
