Last day of sightseeing

On Sunday, June 8, I met with Steve the Lorrie driver from London, and we spent the day sightseeing. What a blast! I have posted all the pics, unedited, as I don't have much time.

We started off by attending mass at the St Stephan's Basilica in the center of the city, followed by a quick breakfast at a near by cafe. We were thrilled when the waitress brought out a small flier showing eggs for breakfast! We both indulged.

Then it was off to Memento Park where statues from the communist era have been taken. More info here: http://www.budapest-tourist-guide.com/budapest-statue-park.html#monum and I loaded a bunch of pictures I took as well.

On our way across Budapest, we saw some dancers on a stage, so jumped off the tram and watched the young performers for awhile. Here's a quick video. Having a transit pass is great as you can just jump off and on where ever you like!

We then caught the local train to Szentendre, and just as we arrived there was a cloud burst and we were stuck at the station for about 15 minutes. As we headed into the town, we came across a flooded street which was stranding a number of tourists. We found our way around and I finished my gift shopping with great success, had a leisurely dinner and then caught the boat for a cruise on the Danube back to Budapest.

We hadn't planned the day, so both were quite thrilled with the way it turned out and the fun, relaxing time we had.
