We ordered a mixed kebab platter to share:


Despite our best efforts we couldn't finish it.

The following day we stopped for lunch at a hostelry on the Buda side of the city:


The waitress was rather pretty:

The beer was VERY good:


Jane, of course insisted on exploring the local shops:


And here she is in Tesco Express:


There is a very fine market:

Spring in Budapest

Jane and I visited Bupapest during Easter.
It is a truly lovely city.
It will be even better when it's finished!

I acquired various invitations to visit local attractions like this:


There was even one advertising 'Sweet Massage Escort Agency', open from 6.00pm to 6.00am.
(Telephone: +36 (1) 3119273.)
Jane wouldn't let me accept, and google declined permission upload an interesting image.

Instead, Jane took me to the opera:



Well, I suppose the Prima Donna was rather lovely!
