Because of COVID and travel restrictions tour guiding has only been available virtually for the last 13 months - and yes, I love virtual tours and I think that participants love them, too. However, it was time to start a new adventure and we launched Budapesti Helyszínelők with my sister last year. As for now it's only available in Hungarian, we're offering scavanger hunts in Budapest, crime mysteries to be solved in the picturesque Buda Castle District, City Park area or Downtown Pest. It's all about Budapest and its stories, we were mostly inspired by murders, robberies or other mysteries that had happened decades ago. At Easter we had a special program for families, it was an egg hunt for kids who had to investigate the mystery of the egg theft. So let me take this opportunity to wish you all very Happy Easter with pictures we took on the egg hunts.

Let me tell you about the funniest Hungarian Easter tradition. That's the so-called "watering" of Easter Monday. According to the old traditions water or more preferably perfumed water is sprinkled on girls. Nowadays men usually use perfume but a few decades back they poured large buckets of ice cold water on the screaming ladies. It's a nice tradition, also, it helps women to remain fresh and beautiful all year long. In exchange the men get nicely decorated, hand painted Easter eggs.
