- 29 Aug 2012 9:04 AM
- getting around
I have been cycling up to Romai Part and Szentendre for years, and have always loved the four water and coal-clock towers at the old gas works.

The Bodva River flood came up to the fence, and left about 45cm of ground water in the basement, but otherwise the house was thankfully untouched, as were our immediate neighbors. The birds are out in mass, especially the annual ...
