Loving Hungary

I think we may have discovered our favourite European country.  The architecture is stunning and the place is absolutely spotless.  The drivers are courteous and the roads are great.  Accommodations are inexpensive and your get great value for your dollar.  Not too many are offering breakfast but the rooms we have booked are always clean and nicely decorated.  There is one major problem we have incurred with our bookings.  80% of the time the directions are terrible and we have spent up to an hour trying to find the place.  We are using Booking.com and Airbnb and both seem to have the same problems directing us to the right location.  We are finding very few people who speak English in Hungary.  Most of the signs and directions are in Hungarian only and that can make things a little challenging.

Today we traveled from Budapest to  Kecskemet and then on to Szeged.  Both are beautiful small cities with some amazing sites.  We started to make our way to our studio in Morahalom and this had to be the worst directions to date.  We stopped twice to ask locals for help and even they agreed that the place we were looking for was very difficult to find.  Upon arrival, the complex looked like a ghost town.  We were finally able to wave down a young lady and ask for help.  She did not speak English and be began with talking loud and waving our hands.  It is so funny but that seems to be the trick for most people attempting to get their message across in a foreign language.  She finally gathered that we were guests with a booking and was able to track down a gal who I think was one of the maids.  She did not speak English either so we had another round of talking loud and hand signals and she finally got on her cell phone and made a call.  She handed the phone to me and I began speaking to a woman with broken English but at least we were communicating.  She told me that we would have to come to another location and sign the registration documents and pay for the room.  This did not have to be done immediately but we could do it on our way out tomorrow...VERY STRANGE SETUP!   In spite of the hassle, the room was gorgeous with 2 flat screen tv's, 2 bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms.  Way more than what we require.  Oh well, just another part of the adventure.

    I have always been a straight shooter and a go getter.  Many have said Leslie must be a saint to have put up with me for over 40 years.  We have been business partners since the day we got married and each played an intrigal roll in our business success.  There is nothing more important to us than our Family & Friends.  Our love of people and travel has allowed us to develop amazing friendships around the world.
