Budapest – 06 Jun 2024

Not a lot of pictures today; I went riding a bicycle and used a Polaroid Cube video camera to record part of the ride. here are links to part one and part two of the video.

Margit Bridge / Margit Island

Some pictures of the bridge and the island, which is pretty much a very large park area. There’s also a fountain that does cool effects set to music (which is muted because YouTube says it’s a copyright violation).

The Jehovah’s Witnesses are everywhere.

There’s an old ruin in the middle of the park. It must be symbolic, as there’s a plaque that details its history, but I was too lazy to type in the text to Google Translate.

At the far end of the park is a Japanese garden.

Nyugati Railroad Station

Signage / Miscellanea

You may be wondering why I haven’t been posting any of the election posters here in Hungary. Honestly, they’re pretty much boring: just a head shot of the candidate and a tag line in Hungarian, which I don’t read. The only one that I found even remotely interesting was this one, which I fed into Google translate:

Whoever votes for Karácsonyra gets Gyurcsány.

Today’s sticker

No, I didn’t touch it to confirm if it was wet paint or not. How stupid do you think I am? (Don’t answer that; it’s a rhetorical question.)

This restaurant leaves no doubt as to what it sells.

Saw this in the park near the hotel.

Near the hotel.

Interesting road paving.

Had some “chimney cake“ with Belgian chocolate dip. It was OK.

Dinner tonight: cucumber salad
