The Statue Park










After visiting the caves, we legged it to the south part of Budapest to go to a statue park, which was my favorite sight of the trip. Basically, the Hungarians seem to have collected the Communist statues that they wanted to get relocate and put them in the statue park in what was probably at one point a fairly rural area. Today, the area is in this sub development of houses.

Upon entering the statue park, grounds, you see a statue of Lenon's boots. You then see all these giant statues performing some type of action. We happened to go on a fairly gloomy day so the sky was dark and the place was almost creepy. If that was creepy enough, if you go into what looks like a temporary structure, you can watch a spy training video. During the rest of the trip, we speculated on who was spying on us. :)
