Budapest Day1

We had a very busy day in Budapest today. It is always stressful in a new city until you work out how the trains etc. work. we sorted it fairly quickly and got our bearings by going on the open top bus tour. Great value! It took a few hours but all the major sites were covered and lots of history. It also included a boat trip as well.
Budapest is very impressive. The Danube is beautiful and much of the architecture is similar to Paris (without the dog poo)!! Cant wait to go and do a bit more exploring. Monday is a bad day to start as most of the museums and galleries are closed.
We walked a long way today and as a result we were very tired. we bought baguettes and wine and beer and had dinner in our room. We stopped a few times for a beer at the many cafes so that may have negated the walking. Had a beautiful goulash soup for lunch.
I think we will have enough to keep us busy for the next few days!
