Synopsis
Travel today means using identical ports, planes, and hotels. The Baron and Baroness Kende travelled differently. Luxury on liners, juxtaposed with the hardship of canoes or horses made them acquainted with a world that they loved. Their lives will introduce the reader to the worlds of South America and Ireland. Hungary was the birthplace of the Baron but he became an exile when he escaped Russian domination. Hard work and dedication to whatever he did, made of him that rare person - a successful refugee.
