It all sounds SO inviting!! Fascinating contrasts and art midst it all. But for the heat...perfect, and that perhaps the challenge that makes it all worth while? Thanks for sharing.

same experience
I had the same experience with wine and food, but not at your hotel! Memories of my hotel (not good) were pitiful sheets....exfoliated when I turned over. Will you be going to Bratislavia? Thought it was a charming city. Shake it off and have another beer and fries.

Our hotel was not the (con) problem!!! The Gellert is great, very professional, great food, nice beds and linen... just no AC. The con was out on the tourist street with all the restaurants!

Budapest
Have so enjoyed following your blog.....thanks for sharing! The baths look so elegant as does the hotel. What a lovely place (but for the con! -sorry). Toasting you both tonight. The heat is more than bearable...staying indoors most of the day here. Your gardens are hanging on despite the heat. We envy your whole experience but love sharing it vicariously! Hugs, C

Hi Jack
We are enjoying it here, but the heat is just like yours, except we have no AC at the Hotel Gellert!!!!!!! But the baths are not too bad, and may save us. We'll be taking full moon pics here over the Danube... howl at us! MD and Gary

Coffee and money
In Kyrgyzstan we were never able to find brewed coffee only Nescafe. It is also a totally cash society. Soviet influences I suppose.

We had the same problem all over Croatia and Slovenia. Luckily we brought coffee from Italy with us. Filters were a problem, but we were creative, from wash clothes to paper towels!!!

wow.
fascinating contrast between the life/ growth of the flowering and the destruction it is thriving on.

You did well, we had an absolutely disgusting old ferry from Bari to Bar in Montenegro, the Sveti Stefan, dirty, rusty, very little food etc. Plus is was running 6 hours late, so late they didn\'t check our documents on the way into Montenegro!! My kids refused to use the showers on the Sv Stefan. They used to run a Bari-Kotor ferry, I think it\'s been discontinued which is a pity. Bari has nice old quarters and great ice-cream, but the ferry port is hell. For Dover-Calais you just drive straight on, zero waiting. For Calais-Dover you wait maybe 40 minutes. At Bari you queue, wait, queue, wait, and finally queue again and the whole process from joining the first queue to boarding the ferry takes 6 hours.............. unbelievably bad publicity for Italy. I haven\'t tried the reverse journey................
