“Travels to a Different Time” : 1June1975: Budapest and Tokaj Hungary: Strangely Lonely in My Shanty Shack and the Belting Rain

Up early for an orange drink so gross only I could stomach it. I packed up slowly after a great hot shower. I took the Metro to the last stop and walked about a mile to the highway. The first ride was only for 15 kms but the next one was all the way toContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 1June1975: Budapest and Tokaj Hungary: Strangely Lonely in My Shanty Shack and the Belting Rain”

“Travels to a Different Time” :31May1975: Budapest, Hungary: Marian Acts Snooty

Up at 09:00 and returned some bottles for a deposit refund. I then went to IZBUZ to change my remaining Austrian schillings. They like roast chicken in Budapest so I went to one of these chicken places where you stand and eat it. Half a chicken and a Pepsi for $1.25. The skin was tooContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” :31May1975: Budapest, Hungary: Marian Acts Snooty”

“Travels to a Different Time” : 30May1975: Budapest, Hungary: A Megaton Nuclear Blowout in Budapest; Bribery, Booze and a Brothel?

The day commenced in orderly fashion but it was going to end in a way it may never end for the rest of my life. Up early I read two books. Less weight to lug around. It is almost a fetish reading and dumping the too many books I have brought along. But better thanContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 30May1975: Budapest, Hungary: A Megaton Nuclear Blowout in Budapest; Bribery, Booze and a Brothel?”

“Travels to a Different Time” : 29May1975: Budapest, Hungary: Living and Eating Like a Royal: Love Those Hungarian Dumplings!

Finally a nice sunny late spring day. Did a little wash of clothes and hung them out on the balcony. Yes sir I have a balcony with a view of the city. A low budget Ritz-Carlton! Went out to purchase my supplies for breakfast and I ate like an aristocrat on my balcony. I didContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 29May1975: Budapest, Hungary: Living and Eating Like a Royal: Love Those Hungarian Dumplings!”

“Travels to a Different Time” : 28May1975: Vienna, Austria and Budapest, Hungary to the Land of Goulash and of Revolution Against the Soviet Empire!

Up bright eyed and bushy tailed and on the road at 07:30. My knapsack is bursting. Two trams took me close to the highway so I had a half a kilometre walk. Getting rid of my last Austrian coins a beer at 09:00. I really lucked in with a businessman going all the way toContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 28May1975: Vienna, Austria and Budapest, Hungary to the Land of Goulash and of Revolution Against the Soviet Empire!”
