Hungary, facts and history in brief
Budapest, facts and history in brief
Budapest - 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 come/go back anytime.
If you have seen a few of my pages, I have no
advertising, pop-ups etc. at all on any of
my pages what-so-ever.
I'm breaking tradition here, because normally I
don't comment on any of our holiday accommodations
or any other services, though my wife and I, and
sometimes my son also fortunate enough to spend
some time overseas, including of course beautiful
Budapest. This is not a commercial, just simple
statement of facts.
In Budapest, we usually stay in self-serviced
apartments.
(Now this is the making of my first commercial.
Hey, times are changing!)
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 andddddd very affordable.
Give this one a try: Very centrally situated, close
to everything, the Landlord and Landlady are very friendly,
obliging and helpful, also their rates are very affordable
too.

By the way I have, but can't find any pictures of
the place. I have large hard drives and many DVD's of
pictures etc., but it's a jungle in there, a semi organised
jungle. I thinkkkkkkk.
Here's a couple useful maps of Budapest.

Sorry, a brief commercial, no pop-up though!
Ah! It may come latter. Watch this place!!?
On this Budapest page I must not forget to mention
my eyewitness story of the 1956 Hungarian
Revolution - Freedom fight.
And according Boris Yeltsin, and he should know I
suppose; "The Fall of Communism began on the
streets of Budapest". Smart guy.
The 1956 Hungarian Revolution (My story)
And I would like to pay tribute to all the heroic
people, who died for our noble cause.
