Budapest was fun. The Hungarians aren't too friendly...but it's okay because the city was beautiful.
We went to the Herend Porcelain Factory and got CHINA. we are so excited!!! the victoria pattern. google it. Happy 4th of July to us. We listened to Lee greenwood on the 2 hr bus ride. Yeaaa America. After that we went to this lake, of which the name has slipped our memories (balaton maybe?), it was GORGEOUS. water so blue...loved it.
that night we went on a boat cruise down the danube (the river that separates buda and pest) and it ggot some great pics as the sun was setting and then when it was dark and teh buildings and bridges were lit up!
the following day, we ventured off to the hungarian baths. not sure there are any words for that experience. all i have to say is: speedo. when are these europeans going to get with the program? those things are not cute. we saw an old grandpa, fat as anything, in a speedo lying on a stone bench (sideways, mind you) dead asleep. he was too kind to let us see his big potbelly. we got a snapshot, don't worry.
leaving hungary was quite the challenge. flight delayed 6....S-I-X hours. we have some funny videos to document the delirium. we finally got to leave at around 8 PM and when we landed, everyone clapped. the turbulance was that bad.
needless to say, it was just LOVELY returning to beloved London.
