Budapest by day
I took advantage of the free day before the conference began to take one of those tourist hop-on hop-off bus trips. We hopped off for three hours at the Castle district, up on the hill on the Buda side of the famous Chain Bridge.
Fantastic views from the Fisherman's Bastion, then into St Matyas Church to see the walls which are exuberantly decorated with late nineteenth century formal patterns and figurative frescoes.
Large icecreams were essential after that; it is even hotter here than at home.
Yesterday the conference kicked off. It was good to meet up with colleagues and friends from all over the world. I was particularly pleased to meet up with Halima Moin, the member of the UK Youth Parliament for Kingston. With a number of other MYPs she had managed to get a sponsored place, and it was good to see the young people taking a full part in the proceedings.
