Day 55. Monday 25 May.

A very hot day forecast – and it was – over 30 degrees. On our now well-known walk to catch the 19 tram from Batthyanyo Square to Kosztolanyi Dezso, then the 150 bus to Memento Park (1 hour each way) to experience something of the ‘Communist propaganda’ during the Cold War. So much that was both right and wrong about the aims, objectives, and outcomes. Again, a serious/dark story that accompanies the grandeur of a very cultured & free society in 2026.

Retraced our route after about three hours – we have a book that might answer lingering questions about how/why history happened as it did.

A beer and pizza on the walk home helped revive us. Bags were ready, having been packed this morning, so Uber called and forty minutes later we’re in the Ibis Styles hotel.
