Saturday 12th August

Budapest is very beautiful and after a long train trip we were glad to arrive...the train was reasonably comfortable been on better but also on worse the train station in prague was horrific for such a huge city you would have thought it to be much better than it was...the train station in Budapest was interesting we had to line up for an hour and a half to purchase our forward tickets to Novisad as these we could not buy before we left, lots of tourists at the train station as the car racing was on last weekend.
Budapest is a lot harder to get around in the bus/tram/metro seems a lot more complicated to figure out and after being fined in Prague we are very conscious of having the right tickets.
Hotel here or Penzion is really nice and we actually have a bathoom you can turn around in...most of the places we have stayed to date the bathrooms have been only slightly bigger than our loos at home if that puts it into context for you all!!!
We took on an open top bus city tour this morning this was the best way to see the city and monuments in the little time we have here, it was excellent but is raining here today so a little cold.
Wine is good, beer is excellent, food is much cheaper so this is good, tomorrow we are going to visit one of the medicinal bath springs then onto a night dinner/folk dancing tour should be fun.
Monday we are off to Novisad to see the family...will post again later bye for now
