Budapest (3) The Shoes on the Danube Bank

Shoes were permanently fixed on the Danube Bank.  It is a memorial to these Holocaust atrocities that sits in front of the magnificent Parliament building on the edge of the river. What visitors will see are 60 pairs of rusted pair of shoes cast out of iron. Different sizes and styles reflect how nobody was spared from the brutality of the Arrow Cross militia (the shoes were from children, women, businessmen, sportsmen ...)

Senic Drive from Krakow to Budapest (4)

In a small village of Orawka, there is St. John Baptist Church, the oldest existing wooden church in the upper Orava region of Poland.  We were told it was built in 1651-1656 from top quality knot-free larch timber using the horizontal log technique.  The church set on a hill top with scenic view of valleys and mountains far away and a charming little cemetery in the back yard.
