Hungary, facts and history in brief
Budapest, facts and history in brief
Hungary
Budapest is the beautiful capital city of Hungary.
I was born here and although I spent more than 50 years
on the other side of the world in another beautiful
country, New Zealand, I still love the place and am
happy to go back anytime.
I was pickled pink, when towards the end of the late 1970's the
Hungarian communist regime acquired a 'Humane' face,
relaxed it's rules regarding us, political refugees
and a few other things and after 22 years I escaped the
terror that engulfed Hungary after the brutal invasion
of the Soviet Army, I was able to visit my mother,
family and country, with my daughter Sarolta.
Unfortunately I was too late to see my father, who
passed away a few years earlier.
I was very happy to be able to go back without the treat
of harassment or some other 'nasty' consequences and
Sarolta and I immensely enjoyed ourselves.
I'm breaking tradition here, because normally I
don't comment on any of our holiday accommodations.
In Budapest, we usually stay in self-serviced apartments.
Sometimes, they are part of a private apartment, sometimes
they are set up for tourists, where nice, clean rooms
let at a reasonable price with shared conveniences,
are usually well presented and set up, like dishes,
cutlery etc.
They are clean, well furnished and centrally situated.
We stayed at a few to date, but our best find was during
our 2003 stay in Budapest.
We returned to the Turbóks on our subsequent
visits to Budapest.
Very convenient, very central and very ambient place.
Give this one a try: Very centrally situated, close
to everything, the Landlord and Lady are very friendly,
obliging and helpful, also their rates are very affordable
too.

On this Budapest page I must not
forget to mention
The 1956 Hungarian Revolution
And I would like to pay tribute to all the heroic people, who died for our
noble cause.
I would also like to mention my eye witness's story of
The 1956 Hungarian Revolution (My Story)
Budapest is where it all started and finished in the end.
And according Boris Yeltsin, and he should know, I suppose;
"The Fall of Communism began on the
streets of Budapest". Smart guy.
