We were lucky to visit Hungary on my mum's 60th, took a bit of begging with Benji's school as they don't like children taken out of term time but we were lucky otherwise we could not have afforded this trip during half-term.
We have been on a spa weekend, where we managed to surprise my mum by organising her friends to come there as well. Some for dinner, some stayed for the night. The hotel itself wasn't the best but had a swimming pool which the children enjoyed, it was close to the Danube so we had a nice walk and stone throwing at the shores. The only problem was that Benji was sick for two nights (I think jumping on the bed for half an hour after dinner didn't help).
During the week we had more fun by visiting Miniversum which is basically a trainset going over three rooms across Hungary's miniature monuments. THe children have buttons all around which you can press and move certain things on the table (a bus, a windmill, a seasaw, a chicken), but you don't know what you are moving, I think I enjoyed it just as much as the boys, it was exciting looking around trying to spot things first :-)
I have managed to go to the theatre as well, went with the family to try a local restaurant which was good (if the Hungarian-Norway match wouldn't have started in the same time and wouldn't have made my dad fidgety...)
Also managed to persuade them to come to England this Christmas as it would save us lots of money which is good. Though Edina can't come, but I hope she will come for her birthday instead :-)
