Buda Labyrinth

Our Lonely Planet guide book said that the Labyrinth in Buda under Castle Hill was expensive by Budapest standards but "good fun." So, we wandered around and finally found the entrance. Since we had gotten the Budapest Card (well worth it), we got a discount on ticket prices and on in we went.

The labyrinth was really "interesting." I think the point was to try to guess what they have been used for during history. There are replica cave drawings on the wall. There are statues around and almost every room had different music piped into it. Towards the end of the "tour," we got to a series of rooms called the "other world." These were by far my favorite. See, the descriptions of the rooms were written in a future perspective looking back on the world today. The world was occupied by homoconsumerists and they led a strange life indeed. Try to identify the pictures of what they put into the display. The first four pictures in this post are not part of the homoconsumerist display. I might even give a prize to anyone (other than John) identifying all the pictures correctly.

The tour ended with a labyrinth of courage (I think that's what it was called). It was completely dark and you had find your way around. Unfortunately, many people in the room kept making their cameras or mobile phones light up so it didn't stay pitch dark.


Edited to make clarification: the last 5 pictures are the ones to be identified and the first person to identify all 5 correctly (other than John) will get a prize. :)
