There is another flea market that is in the big park. We had looked for it several times but had never found it, it's a big park. Andrew and Agnes said they knew exactly where it was and they volunteered to go with us. They didn't know where it was either but we kept following the bottom feeders and eventually found it. It is different than the Echere flea market, the vendors pack up everything each weekend night so the booths are smaller and the offerings more portable. The vendors varied from well dressed antique dealers to grubby used clothes sellers. There was a guy selling a 1981 Lada, a nicely restored example of Soviet technology. He was asking 800,000 forints, about $4300. There were more country people here, I think the booths are cheaper and you can rent a spot for the day. The setting is an amphitheater where there are concerts. The area where you might set up your lawn chair to enjoy the concert is tiered and adapts well to the flea market application. A little tricky walking but not bad if you pay attention.
We had a nice time, I bought a couple of t-shirts and Lisa bought some beads. We'll go back.
We returned to the flat around 3pm. We are sitting at Csiga Cafe, Lisa is reading and I am, well, doing this.
The photos are of the flea market, the 1981 Lada and Nellie, one of our favorite people at Csiga.
