Budapest-Day 1

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Today was a day in transit as we enjoyed the beautiful countryside through Slovakia on our way to Budapest via a 7-hour first class train ride. We arrived early this evening and after checking into the Sofitel Hotel  right on the Danube,  Amazing Journeys presented a surprise celebration dinner in honor of our 10th Anniversary.

Dinner was at KFC and included two pieces of original recipe, two sides and a large soft drink.

Obviously, we’re kidding. Quite the contrary; we enjoyed an amazing meal at the beautiful Hungarian specialty restaurant, Karpatia, one of the oldest restaurants in Budapest and a city landmark since 1877.  Here we dined on traditional and contemporary Hungarian fare while a spirited band of gypsy violinists played Hungarian music creating an amazingly fun and festive occasion.
