• Budapest Day2

    8 September 2024, Hungary ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    It's been a tricky day without my proper 'look where you are going' glasses, but I managed. My sunnies are prescription so ok for walking about, but, in the Cathedral and the National Museum, it was challenging. Taking them off to get an idea of colour and then back on for definition and reading! The pics are good though. I had planned to do the cable car, but it got very windy, so discretion became the better part of valour. Walked miles again today, so very tired. Heading off to Novi Sad tomorrow, hoping to see the optician and get new glasses by Friday. It has certainly slowed things down. I feel quite vulnerable out and about. Some pictures taken today. On the whole I have found Hungarian people abrasive almost to the point of rudeness. It is a country that is very poor. The majority of people are poor......the rest are wealthy. Still signs of the communist time here and there. At the Museum, I walked round a corner of an exhibition to be confronted with a life size statue of Stalin!! Very disconcerting briefly🤣
    Well washing up, and packing calling so catch up tomorrow. The pics are random but make of them what you can.
