well, all done and dusted now, had a good weekend helped by your advice. as i mentioned earlier, google maps was invaluable, downloaded the area over wifi, saved all the places you advised, data off, gps on, bobs yer uncle. its the way ill do all trips now i think.
house of terror was thought provoking, got told off for taking pics, especially of the padded cells etc down in the basement, but carried on when security werent looking 😉
sczesceny baths were a little disappointing i thought. lovely and warm but packed out, and seemed a bit scuzzy for want of a better word. bit grubby. had a dirty nappy in my ‘cabin’ :-/ went for a walk behind gellert the next day to see if we’d chosen the wrong one, but there was only a small outdoor pool, the big pool was quarter full of mucky water so i think we did the better of the two.
found the quirky little sirius teahaz in the end, strange little place in a good way.
szimpla kert was the most random place ive ever been i think!! never known owt like it, you never knew what was round the corner, great place.
also finally made the ‘for sale’ pub. reviews were a bit scathing about the service but we found em great. big portions, nice food, live music, was a good night.
also visited the market, but didnt get round to trying any langos. palinka and unicum werent to my taste unfortunately, i stuck to dark beer. and food? nah, not for me. i always try and eat local rather than finding the nearest italian or whatever, but i just couldnt face the pork knuckles, pig trotters etc all in paprika.
views on gellert hill were great, did a lot of walking despite wifes bad foot. overall a cracking city and cheap enough, we’ll go again sometime im sure.
travelled with jet2, cant fault em. more leg room, more luggage allowance, never seem to queue for anything, we were landed and out the airport in about 20 mins both times.
thanks a lot for all your help.
