Day 2 – It begins

Monday continues . . . .

After our walk along the Danube, we found a small lane with a string of small cafes to eat lunch and get in out of the sun.  We got lucky and found a quiet place with semi-air conditioning and really good food.

I don’t eat meat, so sometimes that can be a challenge.  But this was called an eggplant tower and it was delicious.  Eggplant, cheese, tomatoes, and other stuff I didn’t recognize.  Yummy!

After lunch we headed back to our hotel to meet up with our tour group at four and our adventures got underway with a river cruise along the Danube followed by dinner where we sat at lovely outside table.  It really is nice to have someone else doing all the planning an coordinating.  We don’t have to worry about what to do or where to eat.  Strangely enough, for a couple of control nerds, it’s kind of nice.

As a bonus here’s a photo of Marta, our tour director.  She’s delightful and efficient.  What a combination.

Tomorrow?  On to tour Buda Castle.

Day 1 – Hi from Budapest

After an extremely long flight, Marilee and I arrived in Budapest. We were exhausted but excited.  This is a really different and beautiful city. This is the view from our window. We think this is the Budapest History Museum and the Buda Castle – though we’re taking that off maps and we’re not sure.  We’ll find out when we meet our group in about an hour.  Whatever it is, it’s beautiful.

So, what now?  We’re having a pre-tour dinner with the other early arrivals, and then we’re free until around 4 tomorrow, when the tour actually begins.  So, watch this space.

P.S.   The view from lunch table.
