    I had an unexpected surprise this morning
    while l was trying to get to the train station
    by bus so that l can take some new pics
    for my sites.

    While l was sitting on the bus innocently
    staring out of the window and trying to think
    about some pleasant things, it revealed that
    an enormous (1000 kilograms,
    1 ton weight) american Second World War bomb
    was found today, near to the Lágymányosi
    bridge, which my bus was about to cross,
    very close to some important junction
    so the all area was closed off within
    a 2 kilometer zone ( more than a half mile)
    and 4 thousand people were evacuated from
    the dangerous area, so we had to take a
    longer roundabout with the bus, while l
    accepted with some silent resignation that
    l probably wouldn't catch my train in time
    so l got down to munching my breakfast.

    There was a mess on the roads, and there
    was a terrific traffic jam, because of the
    divergence of all vehicles.
    I could reach the train station only far
    later as l had expected it.

    On my way back still was the same situation,
    the trains had to stop at the nearest station
    before they could have crossing that bridge
    and a lot of people had to chose another
    way to get to the other side of Budapest.
    My friend says, there have been found other
    World War bombs too recently not too long
    time ago, but they were blown up without
    problem because they were smaller size.
    As l have heard it from the news, this bomb
    will be taken away and deactivated somewhere else.

    Second World War is still haunting.

    We had one on a beach, which the Navy took out to sea to explode BUT lost it en-route. Nelson must have turned in his grave.

    Hope your story ends happily
