Budapest--Pest side





Have to start out with a picture taken from the Buda side to show the Pest castle--in the background. We didn't get to it to take the photo. The Pest side has most of the restaurants, accommodations, etc.


A cafe where we splurged. The Secret Service had their coffee and cakes here during occupancy. Even then, it was the nicest place available. Very elegant...It hasn't changed much.


Our own Secret Service tea party!

We also stumbled across a great indoor market right near the river. We had langos--big scones with a choice of toppings. We all chose cheese!

Traditional food at the very hip Menza's! We all loved this place--the food and the decor.


Good bye beautiful Budapest!

    Thanks for sharing your fun with us. This brings back so many memories, and evokes perhaps, a smidgeon or jealousy. Have a wonderful adventure!

    Hey Udalls! I love your updates and photos. I wanted to let you know I share the photos with my co-worker, Milan Mraz, who is from a Czech town about 60 miles south of Prague. He was really excited to see pictures of schnitzel, sausage, pastries, and the city again. Makes him homesick. And Brady, I had to laugh when he said to let you know that when your wife and kids are gone, you should visit Amsterdam alone to try the coffee shops (where drugs are legally sold as long as they are consumed on-site) and hit up the red-light district, which is one of the best in the world. Ha! He has many beer recommendations too if anyone is interested. He cracks me up...smokes like a chimney, has a big bushy mustache and a permanent scowl, and is proficient in the use of American swear words (complete with heavy Eastern European accent), but is the nicest guy ever.

    Can't wait to see the Salzburg report! Love to you all.
