We basically walked most of the city on Saturday, from St. Stephen's Basilica (amazingly covered in gold) to Parliament to Castle Hill on the Danube. The views were amazing, along with the strudel (my cherry sauce came on fire) and the Miracle dessert (amazingly chocolate cake with a better Vanilla cream and whip cream on the side.) At a really nice Italian restaurant, we ordered a pasta dish where the noodles were put in a wheel of parmesan cheese that was lit on fire to melt the cheese to the noodles. Quite tasty. The baths on Sunday were quite the unique experience (once we found our little cabin of course.) Sitting in 38 degree celsius water for a while certainly turns your muscles to jelly, though it feels like an ice bath compared to the 80-100 degree celsius sauna. To top off the trip, before leaving for the airport, we walked through a classic Eastern European market and had what might have been the best food of the trip, a fried dough dessert coated in cinnamon, made freshly in front of us and handed over still piping hot.
All in all, it was a wonderful little vacation, certainly easier and more comfortable than the rest of the trips will be... Also apparently while Jose and I are both "intelligent," I'm clearly much more of a "dude" and we are quite different people. I'll take that as a compliment I think
pictures should be up (well those that i succeeded in taking because apparently I epically fail at taking pictures that come out well)
so glad you had a great time
