Our taxi driver spoke just enough English to establish that our hotel is on the flat, Pest side of the Danube River. The opposite, hilly shore is Buda.
Our hotel this time is an Executive Apartment, with two bedrooms. Joren is thrilled to have a king size bed of his own, and I'm thrilled to not have to share a bathroom with a teen. Our bedroom looks out over the Ersebet (Elizabeth) Bridge.
In the early evening, we went out walking along Vaci Utca, Fashion Street, which is half a block from our hotel. This is a long pedestrian shopping district, lined with street cafes and coffee houses. Eventually we settled in at one corner for dinner, watching the thick throng of passersby. After dinner, Hungarian specialties like Chicken Praprikash, we wandered around a bit more to find pastry shops to try for breakfast munchies. Then we went back to the hotel for the exciting task of laundry.
