I am a scoundrel. Bed at 8 is my norm. What time, I ask, did Dr Johnson get up? No doubt Boswell tells us! A great ramble round Budapest after dark. Does it have a smog problem?
Not smog …. but fog – maybe that is what you mean???!!!! Bed at 8????!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m up 8.30 every morning when I’m away somewhere. Now I’m going to the synagogue – because I want to visit Raul Wallenberg Holocaust Park and to reach it I have to pay 3000 HUF and walk through the synagogue – that isn’t right in my book, but I have to take it or leave it. A memorial should be free for everyone and accessible at any time. By the way you are not a scoundrel … you’re sensible. *smile – have a great Sunday.
No, I meant smog. It’s very severe – mask-severe – in Warsaw and Kraków, and even Zakopane. Don’t you hate Hungarian currency? I could never get my head around the vast numbers. Mostly, I like being out and about at daybreak.
Do you or your family wear masks in Warsaw?
No masks here … haven’t seen any. Yes, the currency is like the old Italian Lire. I think I gave 5200 HUF in tip instead fo 700. Not too sure, but done is done. Hate all thoose 000000’s!!! I looked more than twice today.
I think I already told you that I have become a very lazy blogger whereas you are always an inspiring blogger, Viveka. Thanks for your presence in my life – I am trying to pull myself together xxx
So sorry, Julie … I have missed this comment of yours. Don’t worry about being lazy .. I’m not very very active neither. It hurt me so much so read … that you still having a tough time. It’s me that should thank you .. for being a part of my life. My thoughts goes out to you.
The parliament building is impressive at night and that castle is massive. Some stunnning buildings in this city. Four Seasons Hotel too, one serious a hotel. Yes, night time is great – not much police presence neither. Very well behaved city after dark. Only seen one police car and 3 policemen on in the city – up by the castle and the president’s residence was quite a few.
Jo, had a fantastic time .. but my feet had a rough time, still I used the free travel on public transport so much I could, but lovely people … beautiful city, great food and excellent wines. So a superb stay.

Great night time Budapest! The parliament buildings at night reminds me of being in that city years ago, arriving at night….

Are you having a wonderful time? 🙂 Looks good!

Good to hear (apart from the feet 😦 ) Home again today?
Yes, I arrived home about 1500. Been sleeping most of the afternoon and evening. *smile
