Save City Park

Today was a very laid back. Greg flew back to Stockholm and Ami and Felix went to Spanish class. After a lazy morning I went for a walk up to City Park. 

City Park is home to numerous attractions: the Heroes' Square, a couple of museums/galleries, the Széchenyi Baths,

The Budapest Zoo, 

a permanent circus and an amusement park, even a faux castle, which is still more authentic than Kryal Castle.

I sat in the sunshine and read my book. Soaking up the warm spring air.

City Park is currently under threat from the government who are determined to move most of the Hungarian museums to the park. This would mean removing a lot of the gardens and century old trees, essentially the "park" bit of City Park. 

The local city council are fighting against the plan and although there is strong local opposition against the governments plans the general consensus appears to be "the stupid government will waste money doing stupid things."

Felix and I had fun entertaining each other taking selfies and watching YouTube clips!
