August in Budapest

 If I had to express “Budapest” in three words it would not be “goulash”, “tokaj” or “paprika”. 

Nothing like this. Budapest is “bread”
“the nicest drivers” and “Duna’s promenade”.

  

What is special about bread? At first sight it does not seem like something special at all but if you put a little of your attention and looked in the bakery or the nearest grocery store you would see something wonderful for you eye and mouth is there. It has been the best bread experience for me: here it was – bread with olives, bread with dry tomatoes. All of them are strongly recommended! If I mention that the small sandwiches in Budapest are the best sandwiches I have ever discovered in this beautiful country– I will say nothing. I am introducing you the two coupled of the tastiest babies – I hope you will meet them again. They are only four representatives of the dozen of the others (by the way, one of them is called "Olasz" - means "Italian". I knew it after I had put my nickname - Olash, a friends of mine used to call me in that way. What a surprise).

Delicious. For every taste

My stories about the drivers will come later. The reason is Duna river which has stolen my heart and as I see it right now it will never return it back. So I am in hurry to tell about the river that is separating two sides of the one most wonderful city in Europe. Walking along the promenade in soft lights and feel nice breeze – what can be better? Can be – be next to the St. Gellert water fall in a really hot day!

I have not mentioned the Hungarian Parliament yet! It is because I have not found any appropriate word to describe it. I only know the expression of my face when I saw it!  I have heard the Parliament is made from very specific material so every time it needs to be clean cause after some time it becomes gray or something like this. That is why whenever you come to Budapest to see it – some part of Parliament for sure will be closed for a renovation (being cleaned). Still. Amazing piece of architecture!

The biggest mistake that you can make in Budapest is to come there and don’t visit the bathes. I would never forgive myself. Relaxing, fun, healthy – what else? That can be really great to visit a 100 degree sauna with ice in your hands.
