Budapest Day One

We have arrived in country number three! The train ride from Vienna to Budapest was packed but we managed to find some seats. It rained most of the trip and the rain has continued in Budapest. The rain isn't debilitating more like a BC coast drizzle. This city is busy with crazy drivers but is still full of charm and beauty. More than once we've both pondered our dog becoming an orphan because of crazy cab drivers!

There is so much to see here, we're expecting the next two days to fly by. Budapest is actually made up of two cities, Buda and Pest. We're staying in Pest which is the old city. The buildings are huge and everywhere you look you see detail and great architecture.

We arrived late this afternoon and of course first thing on the agenda was sampling some Hungarian beer. So far, so good. Not as good as Czech beer but better than Austrian beer! Aren't we the connoisseurs! Having an early night tonight, time to catch up on some sleep. We seem to be sleeping in these crazy four hour intervals. Hopefully tonight we'll get some much needed rest.

As a side note, much to our disapointment we missed the Salvador Dali exhibit as it had already left Vienna.
