Budapest; Tuesday, 02 April, 2002

When the communist regime fell in Hungary the remnant of it were quickly ripped down. This included all the statues that had littered the city.

Instead of melting them down or sending them for scrap instead they decided to place them in a park just on the outskirts of the city.

The park itself is most bizarre almost in the middle of nowhere is this large patch of land with over 30 monuments sitting there.

On a misty or overcast evening it would probably creep most people out but as a pure kitsch tourist site it is well worth a visit.

After that we went back into town and went to the top of St Stephen's Basilica for stunning views of Pest.
