Open air museum

There has become a certain fashion for open air museums. They have a twofold value, being both a place to visit and a way of preserving buildings that otherwise hold up progress by existing. If you need to build a road through you can dump your inconvenient bit of history here.

Now first thing to be said is this is not a popular tourist attraction, well not on the day we visited. And they didn't do much to make you welcome - not even to make it easy to fond the place. However, this sort of made up Hungarian village had a sort of charm, and made you glad you weren't a Hungarian peasant.







 



Ah, those were the days, when you could entertain kids by giving them an egg to watch


In the afternoon we visited Szombathely, something of the local metropolis. Pretty squares.
