July 26, 2010 A full day in Budapest

It was a day of touring Budapest. We left the hotel at 9 am and were on our way when I checked the camera. Most upsetting, I had left the card in the computer at the hotel so no pictures this morning. This is such a beautiful, old city with so many historic buildings and so many that have been rebuilt since the bombings of WWII.





We toured for a couple of hours and then were let off at Vacci Street for lunch and shopping. We finally found a shop that had camera equipment and were able to go back to the Market Hall to take a few pictures. We found some things to buy upstairs and had lunch at the "food court".

The shopping street and the Market Hall. Many shops of all kinds and cafes were found on the street and the Market Hall was full of food shops on the main level with vegetables, meats, fruits, cheeses, and all other fresh foods. Also they had a lot of paprika for sale. We went upstairs where we found some t shirts and other things and had lunch at one of the lunch stalls. They were full of all kinds of Hungarian food. A few places also had some sandwiches.

We came back to the hotel and rested for a while and then went for a walk to the chain bridge for some picture taking and then to a restaurant for dinner.
