In praise of Budapest
... this is, I can't say, but it is the only negative Budapest experience we have had, which isn't too bad, I suppose.
Compounding our enjoyment has been the weather, which has, with the exception of one day's rain, has been a brisk 10 degrees Celsius, with generally blue skies.
