I love Hungarians. They are nice people – friends of all Poles, but they also offer free transport on state owned companies around the Hungary. I wanted today to go by bus to Eger – historic city (2 hours by bus from Budapest. I found the proper bus station (near the stadion, metro line 2. The lady in the ticket office checked my ID and said: you don’t need any ticket just show your ID to the driver. I did! He did not speak English, but he smiled showing me the way into the bus…
Why Eger? Almost 60 years ago as a young student I decided for the first time to go abroad alone. I went to Hungary. I have in my documents a black & white picture of me taken on the upper balcony of the minaret in Eger – the northernmost minaret built by Turks. Eger is beautiful city with the basilica, parks, church towers and color houses of the old town. It is also famous fo wineries – red Egri Bikaver is the best brand for me. But I value most my memories…
