... the royal summer palace of the Hapsburg family. Shirts off in the 30 degree heat of the 9-o clock day, we strutted through to the palace, Jon wearing a pair of pink sunglasses, and I a pair of aviators with a socialist hat.
The palace was as magnificent as I remembered it from last time, except this time they took the glazing off the gravel, and stucck some greenery on to the trees. Strapped for time, we only had a look ...

Finished my walking experience I grabbed the map and started my personal sightseeing tour: main market, heroes square, the park behind heroes square, Szechenyi baths, Andrassy street, Parliament, Opera house and St. Stephen's cathedral. Three of them grabbed my attention and I put them in my list for further exploration: Szechenyi baths, Opera house and the Parliament. As I was still a bit shocked about ...
