Did Amy get Hungry in Hungary?

Of course she did! We headed of to Budapest, Hungary today with my brother as tour guide and chauffeur. It was about a 2 and a half hour drive in rather bleak, wet and cold conditions, but that did not stop us having a great day.

First stop was the central markets, they were great, they had garlic and paprika and saffron everywhere. We brought a 20gram jar of saffron for about $7 Australian - we have to see if we are allowed to take it through customs. We enjoyed strolling through the food stalls and craft stalls.

Next stop was a funicular that took us up to the Buda Palace and Fishermans Bastion which gave us a great view of the city and the Danube. Amy got to have her photo taken with an eagle and hold it on her arm. We had a look at the Parliament Building which again was spectacular. The it was a drive past Heroes Square and on the way out we went to a park where they had all the old communist statues they had taken down after the communist regimen was toppled - there were some amazing statues and they looked kind of odd all plonked together in the park!
