Hungary is a neighbor of Croatia, and therefore I get the chance to visit now and then.  Budapest is a wonderful city, despite the fact that I was mugged once, I wasn't hurt all they got was money.  Which was fine with me, in the USA they hurt you as well as take your money!  Most of the pictures are from a wonderful statue park outside of Budapest.  Those shots are on another page.  You can use this link:  Statue Park, the link above or click on the below picture to get there.  Hungary also has a few lions on the Lions page which is worth checking out.

Gerbeaud Haz.  A famous Coffee House in the Vienna tradition, a very nice place to wait while your Visa is being processed.
