It is every entertaining to go abroad on holiday and see all the amazing historical and natural beauty sites that make other countries and places famous and interesting. We were recently in Budapest, Hungary and these are ten of the great places we visited.

The Great Synagogue in Dohány Street (also known as Dohány Street Synagogue) is the largest Synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world, capable of accommodating 3,000 people.
The Holocaust Memorial, also known as the Emanuel Tree, is a weeping willow tree (by Imre Varga) with the names of Hungarian Jews killed during the Holocaust inscribed on each leaf.
St. Stephen’s Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica in Budapest, Hungary. It is named in honour of Stephen, the first King of Hungary, whose right hand is housed in the reliquary.

Our internet is still giving us trouble as the service provider has not been to fix the cable. I am still having to use the back up wifi which is not as strong or quick. I did manage to get these 10 photographs uploaded which I thought was quite a feat of determination.
This post is for Linda G Hill’s Saturday Stream of Consciousness prompt. Linda is away so Dan Antion has graciously hosted the prompt this week. You can join in here: https://lindaghill.com/2019/09/27/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-sept-28-19/

It really is Kim, so poignant. The shoes on the Danube were also very sad and upsetting.

Thank you, Jacquie. They are due to come tomorrow to fix it. The Holocaust story in Hungary is to sad for words. I didn’t realise that 10% of the Jewish people that died at the hands of the Nazis were from Hungary.

What a lovely tour! Thanks. A world in one city. Many layers of history.
My uncle is Hungarian. He and his sister escaped the Russians but it was a long time before they saw their parents again. (K)

A lovely city. Some related family hails partly from Hungary… though I can only wonder if any of their names would be found on that Willow Memorial. So many records from so many people were lost. There are still discoveries being made today about the people who risked their own lives to help others in distress.
The photos are lovely. While I was away I finally got up early to take some photos of a sunrise. It might be awhile before get them down loaded. It was sort of an extended weekend after the official end of summer – It wasn’t that crowded where we stayed. But finding an open restaurant one evening was tricky. I think business weren’t expecting so many last minute visitors.

Your comment is terribly sad, Jules, that peoples records were lost like that. Awful to think people just disappear without a trace. I do like taking pictures of sunrise, such a lovely time of the day.

Possibly still today as well as throughout history (still reading about Cleo – though not non-stop), once borders are changed the old is wiped out and replaced with the new. Other Egyptian Queens – just because they were women – their histories were literally chiseled off the stone by those Kings who felt they shouldn’t have been. Unfortunately paper is easier to destroy…
I’m not usually a morning person. Though I’ve been getting up earlier these days… Hard to tell dawn from dusk if you have just the progression of photos without orientation 😉
