Will just show you the pics...

| Bought this original oil painting from a neighbour... |
 |
| Lunch on the way to the train station for my 4 days of Xmas Lights... |
 |
| Yummy mashed potato and vegies, with chicken. A beer and this very nice meal was just $4.00 in Tiszafured... |
 |
| Train change 30 mins from Tiszafured...Catching the Intercity here to Budapest, another journey of 90 mins... |
 |
| Don't you love it? 3pm in the afternoon in Winter! |
 |
| First time we saw the sun in 2 weeks, so I bathed in it thru the train windows for 45 mins... |
 |
| Arrived Budapest and headed directly to my fave restaurant for a great pizza. Have been good and saved up for the awesome Margarita pizza and beer deal they have going here (Can't eat wheat based products) 990ft for a beer and this massive pizza you will see shortly. $4.87 in Ausd. |
 |
| Heading to the restaurant... |
 |
| Not far now... |
 |
| The guy who designed this fancy train station also designed the Tower in Paris. Mr Eiffel. |
 |
| Inside the restaurant. It has great ambiance. |
 |
| This fave pizza was covered in heaps of garlic and Parmesan. The 2 dishes at the front are full of dipping oils, with garlic and chili. I love those dipping sauces...yummy. Could only eat half of this so they put the other half in a box and I gave it to some homeless people sleeping in the train station while it was still nice and warm. Suffered badly with cramps the next day...sigh...will I ever learn??? |
 |
| A nice easy decoration...a kids bob sled, some logs of wood under it and a couple of slats of timber on top, some jars with candles in them...and presto! |
 |
| Off again...the lights made the focus thing on the camera play up really badly, so I've missed most of the best ones. They come out terribly blurred...worse luck! |
 |
| Trying to see why the camera is playing up. |
 |
| This is the best of a bad natch... |
 |
| So, I stood on the road to try...a bit better, but not good. |
 |
| It took this billboard OK, so it's moving car lights and the still Xmas lights that confuse the focus mechanism, possibly? |
 |
| Back down into the underground to go to the middle of town for the main lights. |
 |
| Budapest is cut in half, as you can see. Buda on one side and Pest on the other side. |
 |
| Going up the huge escalators underground... |
 |
| Now in the centre of town....emerging from the underground... |
 |
| Metro station... |
 |
| Yeah, they knew I was coming! Shoes... |
 |
| Wow... |
 |
| The poshy end of town... |
 |
| All lights here this year are white... |
 |
| More Xmas lights... |
 |
| The biggest tree of lights I have ever seen...just lights. |
 |
| WOW! |
 |
| BOO! |
 |
| Now onto the stalls with the compulsory hand made Xmas decorations... |
 |
| Love this one...It's a duck, head down, It's a bubbly stopper for fizzy drinks! hahaha... |
 |
| Went back to buy these, but could not find them again. Salt and pepper shakers, hand made in Hungary. |
 |
| Amazing lights. |
 |
| Coffee anyone? |
 |
| Lollies... |
 |
| Spotted stuff... |
 |
| Things made from honey and bees wax... |
 |
| Amazing...too much to take in... |
 |

 |
| The same type of lamps... |
 |
| Nice... |
 |
| These lights were in the top end of town... |
 |
| So much stuff! |

ReplyDeleteIt was bitterly cold and the white lights were sending shivers up everyone's arms etc...really funny I guess, that colour does matter!
