Haikus for Hungary

Buda and the Pest 

What a city full of life

When in Hungary!

Got our plaids on and ready to see Budapest in the throws of autumn!

Pruney like raisins

Two bears in a thermal tub

Scrubb-a-doobie-dub

Disclaimer: Not our photos, because where do you stash a phone while in the public baths? We first lollygagged in Rudas Thermal Baths, built in 1550 by the Ottomans.

Then, having developed a taste for bath houses when living in Korea, we couldn't resist a second soak-- Spent an evening in the Szechenyi Baths. We were squeaky clean *

 Budapest in shade

Bobbing down the Danube

Lit up just for us ❤ 

Went for the discount boat tour. They offered us blankets but no life jackets. They assured us that if the boat sank, the river was shallow 👍 Now to learn to photograph those lights...

Who knew? Paprika.

Central Market goulash. And

Then I ate the bowl

Why don't people rave more about Hungarian food?!

Derelict spaces

In the Old Jewish Quarter

The ruin bars bump

One lone photo was taken at the ruin bars--Again reminiscent of our Asia days. Life happens when you're not on your phone, doesn't it?

Up one side and down

The other. Pale ale is an

Autumn colour, right?

Fisherman's Bastion
Fairy tale spires, bottles
Of wine they inspire
