I am writing my review because the “azhnimag” will not share the most positive emotions from his trip to Europe. Moreover, I think that I would be selfish if I kept silent. It just so happened that my foot had not set foot abroad for 6 years. In general, "they" there had time to rest from me. And either the feeling that “something needs to be changed”, or the prediction of the end of the world in 2012 by the kindest Mayan Indians... went into the office of the A-Star travel company. Among the huge number of tours, the soul asked for a European holiday in Hungary on a ticket from January 4th. It doesn’t matter that “they” had Christmas there already in December, I thought: after all, our dear one according to the calendar is on the way! That's why I decided to take my Christmas holidays. What can I say, gentlemen Ukrainians... Europe, it turned out, does not begin with France or Germany, but immediately after crossing the Ukrainian-Hungarian border. Or “Ukrainian-other”, I think. . . Even the “fiercely disturbing” look of the Hungarian customs officers is just a kind of prologue to a wonderful bus trip, when the road itself captures so much that tired eyes after the domestic train work on the sides like binoculars : ) In general, four The days in the Magyar region flew by like a sweet moment. As a connoisseur of architecture in the Gothic style, he was smitten and “finished off” the beauties of the historical buildings of the capital of Hungary, Budapest. How, after all, Europeans know how to keep an eye on their antiquity! Buddha proudly towering on four hills, heroic Pest, supposedly separated by fate by the Danube with its majestic and pompous bridges. When night falls on the city, it responds with hundreds of its brightest lights - and in such a “dawn” the majestic building of the Hungarian Parliament simply leaves no equal. Believe me, a romantic woke up in each of us that evening. As part of an optional excursion, we also looked into the small (I would like to say family) Hungarian town of Szentendre (St. Andrew). For the first time I felt clumsy. By the way, on the streets up to one meter wide it is very easy to "get used" to each other with all the ensuing consequences : ) In general, Szentendre's sincerity "worked out" for all 100! A separate day of the tour program was specially intended for visiting Imperial Vienna. I’ll say right away: with my humanitarian diploma and journalistic education, I can hardly describe the stunning architectural appearance and the aristocratic scope with which the Austrians created their majestic town halls, imperial libraries, spacious parks and imperishable monuments to historical leaders. By the way, until now, with my Slavic brain, I can’t “digest” the fact that with their budget money (namely, 800 thousand euros !!! ) the Austrians restored the monument to Joseph Stalin, who, it seems, visited Vienna only once. Well, as the popular saying goes, if there is no monument to Stalin somewhere else, then it is Antarctica. Although... Hungary saw us off with all honors: we had plenty of bathing in the cave grottoes of the baths of the city of Miskolc-Tapolce. with a Schengen visa on a Euroclass bus to see Hungary and Austria, taste the magical Hungarian wine and goulash, overnight stays in the central hotels of the city, a buffet and awesome country guides. And no fantasy! By the way, a separate “respect and respect” to Anatoly Zakharchenko, our guide to the Hungarian expanses. Young lad! I am very grateful to the wonderful girls of A-Star for an unforgettable Christmas in Europe. I think it's time to “common” there : ) After all, as the song says, “there is only a moment between the past and the future... ”: so, one “moment” this year I can definitely classify as “life”. All the best, good luck to you, Astara girls, and thank you for unforgettable emotions!
