Budapest, Hungary







today we got up really early and took off on our adventure to budapest. i myself had no idea what to expect. we got to the border and there were easily a hundred trucks waiting to enter Hungary, but no cars at all, it was a breeze crossing. no check point any more.

we ate some pastries at the first reststop. mine was a strudel with a type of cream cheese or cottage cheese filling. melt in your mouth delicious. once in town, we looked for parking and someone directed us to a parking bldg. then we walked over to a big park and i saw the tour buses that take you around and offered to pay for us to do it. we only had a couple hours to appreciate the city. it is a 4 hour trip and we wanted to be back for a BBQ in our honor with Marzena's brother Irek and wife. his dad Vlado. his sister Daniela and husband Edoardo. Peter of course. and his other sister Adriana.

we took the two story tour guide bus and it was well worth it. they tell you the details on the bldg. castles everywhere. huge castles. those hugarian royalty certainly knew how to live the good life. no doubt that they were into splendor. bridges and tall castles and all over the place. budapest is a lovely city. really really.

then we came home to the bbq. just got back. it was great food and great drinks and laughter all night long. a warm reception and a warm family and we all agreed to meet in wegorzewo in july
