The BEST of Budapest--part two

We headed back to our hotel to re-join the group and head out for the afternoon tour.

Sign over the street near our hotel.

Great Deli window

Grandma watching the street action...

How we actually got the picture of Grandma...

Budapest is truly beautiful

And they have lots of items for sale

Allison is SERIOUSLY the best at getting us around. She can read a map and figure out how to get everywhere we need to go! All those trips to New York City have paid off!

We had lunch at WORLD FAMOUS Gundel's Restaurant.
(Also on the 1000 places list!)

We sat with Sasha and Masha (yes, Masha)...another mom and daughter team on the trip.
And, an interesting note: Allison is ordering a Coke at each meal since she doesn't drink wine. The Cokes are 7000 Forents each (a little over $5).
Go figure, the wine is included in the price of the meal.

I know, I know!
It's a cream cheese and crushed walnut-filled crepe
with chocolate cherry rum sauce.
It was FLAMING when the waiter brought it out!

We have had TWO waiters named "Gabor" since we have been here
Named for Zsa Zsa?

Really...FREE WILLY is the name of your jewelry store?

The Basilica of St. Stephen

The Budapest Zoo

Our bus driver, Allan and his SWEET moustache!
