Budapest Day 4

Today was a bit of a battle as we were both sore and tired from our non-stop marathon walks and sight-seeing. However, we pushed through the pain barrier. We visited the National Museum. This had a really comprehensive display of Hungarian history. Explained lots so that we now have a better understanding of the country. Also had a display of treasures from the Steppe Horseman...from up around Mongolia. I have never seen so much gold!! The workers at the museum seemed to left overs from the communists. They ran the place with an iron fist....and had guns! We were not game to touch anything.
Again we were starving and looked for a cafe for a meal....could find nothing decent so decided to head to the Zoo for the famous Gundel Restuarant...very highly rated and exxy. Even I could not come at those prices ...Michelin hats or not! So crossed the road and had a magnificant meal at an equally good restaurant. i had tagliatelle with slices of duck liver, truffles and asparagus. Ken had Veal paprika with egg noodles. Yum!
Returned home to find AFL on TV. Wow! Another great day!
