First stop, Budapest. After checking in to the hotel we met in the lobby and went for a bit of a walk. To the Parliament House. Here is our group, approaching it from the front.
This (above) is Andrea, the main tour guide, telling us stuff. Below, Liz and I with the assistant tour guide, Alessandro.
You can see Gayle (Pink shirt) and Liz (blue shirt) and Alessandro in this shot.
There were guards on the flagpole that marched to switch places occasionally.
Front of the Parliament house, you can see the back from the river.
There are many of these little protest piles near a Jewish monument. I'm not sure exactly what it's about, but something that the monument has wrong.
Kids swimming in a fountain at the monument.
Our group traipsing off to our next adventure.
Which was dinner at this traditional Hungarian restaurant.
Where they are busily making the streusel. Liz is very happy about this. (Above)
First (of many) dinners together.
Along the way we visited this water park.
Then finally settled into the small lobby for some drinking and relaxing. We would end up spending late each evening in this same mode.
Tired and jet-lagged.
