Heat

Thinking of visiting Budapest? Coming here to stay? You do like warm summer weather, don't you?

Today (Sunday 10 July) the temperature is 38 degrees. When I was a schoolboy that meant 100 Fahrenheit.

So the weather is, well, HOT.

Fortunately, being Sunday, fewer people have to actually work. But the tourists, now here in droves, still have to be catered for by the service industry.

After exploring the lower reaches of Pest's Duna embankment on a hot Saturday, today I am taking the day off -- avoiding the midday sun.

This evening I hope to attend a concert at Budapest's magnificent Basilica cathedral. It's sure to be be cool inside there -- isn't it?
