You could try, but will most likely be p*ssed and sated by the time you are near there. There are pastries to be had at the market. It is after all one stop shopping for anything you can shove down your gullet. You can always get an elegant full Dobos Torte at Gerbaud in the box with dainty...

All things seem go at the moment. But just in case: here is your BUD itinerary. This is the bare minimum and can all be done and is all obligatory! Take Metro from Keleti to Deak Ter where you will transfer to the Millenium Underground, the #1 or yellow line. Ride it almost to the end and get a...

It seems the rate for the large lockers is now 600HUF. Shocking! I believe that comes to about 2 Pounds per 24 hours.

Re: Dave's blog (bog) and the shreddies photo. I'll take the one on the left...sans shreddies!

Not yet. The wheels of injustice grind slow and fine. I nominate Scooter, the Gourmet Wonder Hound, for Official Mascot. How do I send you a picture?

What does "one slight hiccup" mean? Every minute in Budapest is a precious sausage, pickle and palinka moment!

Yep. I felt like a Secret Service Agent, just working to keep people from knocking him over. We couldn't see the field or the five storie tall Jumbo-tron that was zoomed in on him. Men were running down with their little boys for a hand shake and one guy even ran down with his baby for a hug! In...

There has been much discussion on this topic of late on the TA Hungary Forum, and I suspect, others as well. Might be worth a look and a search there for fresh info. Working on flights now...hotels I know and have stayed in are not a problem. Can you firm up the date, day and time of arrival...

Again the parsimonious Scotsman rears his pretty little face (see definition #2 above). And I suppose you will want to pay with Scottish Bank Notes? There are several ways this thing can be played: either the mob goes in for a last minute hot meal before descending into deepest, darkest Balkans...

Glen: In the words of that great bard of our age, Eddie Izzard. "Quad the FOC?" Free of charge...really? Here is the situation: I can get really great red at a case price. Several levels of quality. But the restaurant/vineyard owner probably doesn't want a dozen northland mooches coming in for...

Um...I give up.What's a FOC?

But perhaps something to look forward to: http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/17/17344855-16-passengers-ejected-after-brawl-on-new-jersey-transit-train?lite= --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I thought that would get your attention. Seriously folks, need to know thoughts on...

Glen: Scooter wants to know the cost of hiring this car for the entire trip.

The trip doesn't start until July, so there is nothing to report except for the wool gathering in preparation. You seem a winsome old guy. Perhaps if you begged they might let you tag along on one leg of the trek. Be advised however, they are mostly from the northlands so you will probably find...
