BUDAPEST APARTMENT

Our apartment building from the outside was not too impressive.  Once inside, the open courtyard allowed one to see all 5 stories.  This building was built in the 1800's.  In the main areas,  it could use some work.  On the insids, our 3 bedroom apartment with spacious bath, kitchen and living area was about 1200 square feet.  The newer washer and drier was put to good use as we had plenty of laundry between the four of us after 11 days at sea and 5 days traveling.
   We spent 3 full days in Budapest.  We walked several miles through downtown in and out of shops, malls and stores.   We  rode the Hop On Hop Off, took advantage of the Taxi service and walked around on our own and on guided walkabout, miles per day.
   We ate in various places including Budapest's oldest Restaurant where Ron and I enjoyed Hungary's version of the huge veal cutlet, aka, Schnitzel.  Totally filling and totally delicious!
   During our readings of various menus we noticed that most all restaurants offer several ways you can order Goose Liver.  It can be poached, fried, marinated, cold or hot and maybe a couple of other ways, like liver pate or something like that.
   We aren't much into Goose Liver, I guess.
   The Hungarian baths:   We had to sample the Hungarian mineral baths experience.  It was relaxing, for sure! Better directions for all those underground tunnels, lockers, and to various pools could have been more helpful.  Now it makes sense...Larry, Moe and Curly ended up in Budapest writing directions to the baths!
   A stroll across the Danube on Chain Bridge was fun.  It would be more colorful at night.
