DAY 1 (arrival at 12th September late in the evening)
Our rented appartment (booking.com) is large, new and in the middle of town (Pest) at the edge of the old Jewish Quarter and near the bridge. At the other side of the street is a grocery, open 24/7 so what more do we want? Well we want a beer after a days work, rushing to the airport, flight and taxi. We put our suitcases in the appartment, however the 24/7 shop doesn't sell alcohol after 22.00 hrs. We find a bar at the corner of the street, not very fancy but hey they have beer.
We are in Budapest!
DAY 2, 13 September
Wow the sun is shining and it's dry, phew. We are going for a walk, which turned out to be a very very long one.
Across the bridge, along side the river, crossing another bridge back to the 'Pest side', through the old part of town following the Vaci Utca which is a very very long street until it's end.
We had tapas in a bar that just opened in a street that was being refurbished in the middle of town. The owner told us he had been in a relationship with a girl from Basque Country, Northern Spain: she taught him how to make tapas.
We walked, shopped, visited a wonderful wine shop, where we received great advise about the many Hungarian wines and bought a lovely white one, I bought a fur hat in a tourist shop, we drank a beer and found a nice Italian restaurant where we asked for our fav pizza.
It was a super first 'getting to know the city' day, my feet are killing.
