Silver Anniversary/25.Hochzeitstag

Although our 'official' wedding anniversary was yesterday, the 14.02 (romantic huh?), The Bestes Frau In The World and I have always considered the Day We Met And Fell In Love to be our real anniversary. We met 25 years ago this May on a trip to Budapest-we were both Volunteers in Germany and the 'seminar' trip was really a free holiday for us volunteers.

We stayed in a hotel in Budapest but unfortunately a combination of us only having had eyes for each other and my alcoholism meant that now neither of us knew where the hotel had been or even , for sure, what street it was on.

Yesterday I finally found a clue online to which hotel it had been etc. I emailed them and their reply pretty much confirmed it. Thanks so much for that Eszter <3 !

It seems it wasn't actually an hotel back then more a 'International Workers Hostel'...its having had communal showers (where The Bestes Frau and I first got hot and steamy together)not en suites should have been a clue! It still has those communal showers-although now divided for Boys and Girls.

Pics are the entrance and one of the rooms, which looks pretty much as we remembered it.
