Sightseeing proper

It’s so comfy in our studio, it was hard to get out the door!

Started off walking to the biggest synagogue in Europe (in Donhany Street). As with most of Europe, many Jewish lives were lost in WWII and these losses are commemorated here. The first time I’ve been in a synagogue for 30 or so years, and the interior had a very church like layout - very different from the places I remember as a kid. Was glad we visited and paid our respects.

Next we trammed it to the Great Market Hall, a massive indoor market with fruit, veg, meats, plus a high proportion of merchandise for tourists. The veg is beautifully displayed, rainbow like and the paprika (essential constituent of goulash) was a glorious red.

We treated ourselves to a ridiculous strawberry cup, smothered in dark chocolate (from a chocolate fountain!) The decadence was worth the calories….,

Currently sitting in a cafe, whilst the heavens have opened - the only bad weather day expected this week, so good to get it over with early on.

The weather has curtailed our wondering a bit, so not sure where we’ll end up next!Read more
