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.
Baroness Rosa Kende was born in 1933 in Cork, Ireland. She married her Hungarian husband in 1956 and had one daughter, Daisy. Gabor and Rosa led a full life, partners in everything that they undertook, from living on a sugar plantation in Peru to dairy farming in Co. Kildare.
