Some pictures from Szentendre

Last week during a half-day excursion to Szentendre we just made some pictures. They needed to use sandbags to protect the city from the Danube, and though it worked, they still had big trouble with ground water. During the excursion we visited a wine cellar. The water of course didn’t reach the building, but due to much water in the ground, the cellar still was “attacked” by water and work was being done getting the water out as we were there tasting the delicious Hungarian wines! The guests didn’t mind, in fact the truly enjoyed both the wine cellar, the guided tour inside it, and of course the wine!

Lower riverside roads open again

The topic says it all, but I guess I should write it again. The lower riverside roads are open for traffic again. This did not happen this morning, but they have in fact been open for some days. This means that things are a little bit better again for car owners in Budapest, but to claim that things are good would be a lie (because it has never been so)!

And, right now as this text is written there are clouds on the sky, and it has in fact been raining a little bit. Refreshing after some days with no clouds, and just a lot of sunshine!
