Budapest

This smile wooden statue is in fact a memorial of a very sad event. Two years ago on the 20th of August celebration at 9:00pm a huge storm has arrived over Budapest. Exactly this is the time when the firework has started and more then 1 million people watched it along the Danube Bank. Because of the heavy storm and the panic it occured, 4 people has died.

Budapest

A Hotel right at the Danube. I am sure if the inside of it looks good, but from the outside, this building is like the symbol of the ’80s to me. Don’t worry! Retro is a fashion:)

Lángos

When you visit Hungary do not hope that you will eat light foods. Lángos (fried dough) is one of our national food available mostly at old fashioned markets. My favorite is the sajtos-tejfölös (with chees and sour cream) with garlic.

Read more about Lángos on Nora’s blog.

Budapest

Again and again. Since months the Budai Alsórakpart is closed due to a construction. This one is about a new sewage disposal system which hopefully will make the Danube cleaner.

Liberty Statue - Budapest

The Liberty statue is one of the most characteristic monument in Budapest. This is actually a group of statues, the one on the photo is on the right side of the 14 meters high main statue. The composition was changed many times over the time due to its political messages. Nowdays the monument’s agenda is: To the memory of all of those who sacrificed their lives for the independence, freedom, and success of Hungary. See more photos of the monument here.

Budapest autumn

I am still mesmerized by the Autumn this year. In September we had a grey and cold period but the last two weeks were like a paradise. The colors, the gentle sunshine in the afternoon is so peaceful and inviting.
