Budapest second day Thursday 20First foray on foot into the city about 9am. Found a pair of my beloved Nike slip-ons (my current pair are worn out couldn't find in OZ or NZ). Still trying to find a brimmed hat - ok, should have got this in OZ/NZ. Also bought wine and hand painted Hungarian plates. Changed 50 Euros into Hungarian currency called Forint (they don't seem to accept Euros here). Better not to exchange money on the street as the buggers charge a lot.Camera works ok (thanks Bevan!) and got some shots which will appear on the blog. The blog software has just enabled adding editing of photos (descriptions etc) which is a nice touch.Budapest bombed severly during WW2 - 1 in 4 buildings damaged and can still see signs if you know where to look. Hard to believe commie pinkos had control of Hungary for many years (and bloody anti-communist uprising 1956) but decidedly capitalist now.Looks like most of Europe is in for a heat wave for next several days - better find that hat.
