DAY 3 Saturday 14 September, hey it's Peter's Bday!
It is raining cats and dogs today, predicted by Weather.com so we are prepared.
We take the tram to the other side of the river Danube, there we go up the mountain with the cable tram to the museum area where also the famous Matthias church is. However, when we arrive at the church it's closed, while in our tourist guide it's explicitly stated the church is open on Saturday mornings (rain pouring down, grrrr)
Spinoza, the restaurant in the Jewish Quarter of town that was advised by the guy of our Appartment agency is good and serves great food and wine. We arrive early coz this is a popular and crowded place. We luv it, great atmosphere, live music.
Afterwards we have coffee in a trendy place that just started. There are many new initiatives here in this old neighbourhood.
We end up in a very nice winebar in the same narrow street. It was another great day in Budapest.

On our way to the Matthias church we pass this old Trabant car, fun!
We visit the Hungarian National Gallery, making pictures is forbidden. I did make a few of course, naughty me. There is an exhibition of Chagall 'Between War and Peace' at the moment, sort of the same as we saw a while ago in Paris. It is super to revisit this colorfull exhibition. But this time no photos :-(
After our visit to the museum we decided not to visit the wine festival that's held next door, but have a nice glass of Hungarian white wine and some chocolate in posh place Gerbeaud, the famous traditional coffee house of Budapest.
