This is Atie and me. Atie is our first guest ever from Sudan 🇸🇩 since our 17 years of operation. Sudan is situated in NE Africa between Egypt and Etiophia, capital is Khartoum. The country is 5 times bigger than Germany, the population is 40 million.

It is so great to welcome people from all around the world and to know different cultures. This is one of the reasons I love my job. It is like I'm traveling around the world and cultures, while staying in my home town Budapest.

Yesterday we walked with my guests in the Castle District, at Fishermen's Bastion ( Halaszbástya ).

Fisherman's Bastion is one of the best known monuments in Budapest, located near the Buda Castle, in the 1st district of Budapest. It is one of the most important tourist attractions due to the unique panorama of Budapest from the Neo-Romanesque lookout terraces. The Fishermen's Bastion's main façade, parallel to the Danube, is approximately 140 meters long, of which the southern aisle is about 40 meters long, the north is 65 meters long, and the ornate central parapet is 35 meters long. Its seven high-pitched stone towers symbolize the seven chieftains of the Hungarians who founded Hungary in 895.

The original walls were built in the 1700s, forming part of the walls of a castle. Several historians say that in the Middle Ages this part of the castle walls was protected by the guild of fishermen (halász), who lived under the walls in the so-called Fishtown or Watertown.[2][3] The current structure was built between 1895 and 1902,[1] in Neo-Romanesque style, on the base of a stretch of the Buda Castle walls, by architect Frigyes Schulek,[2] who was also responsible for the restoration of the Matthias Church.

Since 1987 it has been one of Budapest's World Heritage Sites as part of the Várkerület District (Buda Castle District). ( source: wikipedia )

The first red coloured Harley belongs to Keith from Ireland who rode here by bike from one of the furthest points of Europe. Keith is just about having a rest in one of our comfortable apartments upstairs. The second Harley belongs to Sandra and Zlatko from the miraculous Split, Croatia. Zlatko is the president of the Harley club in Croatia. If you are around, visit the festival and have fun: https://hd120budapest.hu/site/en

Budapest vibes yesterday evening at Erzsébet tér Fröccsterasz. A Queen tribute band was playing very well. Do you know what "fröccs" is? Literarly it is "splash", but we drink it! ☝️. It is wine with sparkling water. Depending on the strength and proportion of wine / water we gave it different fantasy names. Like "sport fröccs" ( I usually take this in summer time ) = 1 dl rosé wine + 4 dl sparkling mineral / soda water. Házmester = 3 dl wine + 2 dl soda. More "fröccs" types are in the comment.

Today we made a short walk in the castle district and made this great photo of the Paiament from the Fishermen's Bastion. The building was handed over in 1904, its central dome is 96m high because of the mythic 96 figure in the Hungarian history. Occupation of the land by the Hungarian tribes happened in 896. It is the second largest Parliament in Europe, and 3rd biggest in the world.

A few days ago we had an unusual adventure together with my guests at Opera Residence from Israel. They are SUP ( Stand Up Paddle ) lovers that much that've brought their SUP with them all the way from Israel by plane. They travelled around Austria and Slovenia and explored the beautiful nature of Alps finding nice lakes to do SUP. They finished their Europen trip in Hungary at Lake Balaton and in Budapest. When they arrived to my apartment at Opera Residence they askd the question, where they could do a nice SUP tour in Budapest. We immediately found the same language, the language of sportsmen, since I was literally raised in the river Danube as doing kayak as a competitor. I felt that I must not miss this oportunity and offered them to guide them down the river Danube through the beauties of Budapest. I went with my kayak, and they came with their SUPs. It was a splendid sightseeing tour for all of us, we did some.sport together and made new friends at the same time.

Since my kayak carreer in the '90s I did many sports, I'm a bit of sportaholic. I did triathlon, long dostance running, judo ( 15 years ), muay thay, and now doing BJJ for 5 years. So guys, if you comento Budapest, and feelike training, please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be always very happy to go for sightseeing run with you, to show you my city either in running shoes or on bike, or paddeling on the river or on case you are into martial arts, I'm.happy to take you to my judi or BJJ gym and we can roll and train together. And all of these are free of course for my guests staying at Opera Residence, because I love sport, and I love my guest 😊.

Different musics in each room. Concerts also take place in these ruin pubs. One of the most popular and high quity ruin pub is "Szimpla kert" in Kazinczy utca.

Random jazz-rock concert in Budapest downtown at a children's playground. Such summer programmes makes Budapest a sexy place. The Hungarian band is called "Bujdoso Trio", find them on spotify and youtube. You will have no language barriers, since they have no singer, all of their songs are instrumental. Ejnoy!

Magyar nyelvű olvasóinknak, utazóinknak ajánljuk ezt a pár vicces történetet turizmus témában. Azt hiszem mi szállodások egy külön enciklopédiát tudnánk ilyen és ehhez hasonló történetekkel megtölteni 😄

A cikkhez kiegészítésképpen megjegyezném, hogy véleményem szerint idegesítő turista nincs, csak rosszul felkészült vagy pályát tévesztett vendéglátó/idegenvezető/szállodai szakember. Ki ért ezzel egyet, és ki vitatná ezt az állításomat?

Dominikáról többe került hazatelefonálni? És merre van a vasfüggöny? Van még meglepő mondat a turisták tarsolyában ezeken felül is.
