John arrived on Thursday after a very nice flight and landed about 5 minutes before I arrived from Krakow. After a nice ride into the city we arrived at the Gellert Hotel. This is a very famous hotel with the best Thermal Baths in Hungary. There are about 10 diffrent thermal pools, a wave pool, sauna's and steam rooms. Going to the Baths is a way of life for people from Hungary. We spent a lazy day at the hotel, Jos and Gilbert arrived the same day and we had a great 5 course dinner.
Friday we went to the Marketplace and did some shopping for gifts. We then went to The Royal Palace and Fisherman's Castle.
Today we spent the morning catching some sun at the pools and then did a great 5 hour tour seeing all the sites. This is such an old city, with buildings back to the 1200's. They have a terrible history with siding with losing empires. The city is very unique do to all the different folks who have conquered Budapest.
Most importantly, today was John's birthday. He wanted me to thank the well wishers who sent emails. Gilbert and Jos treated us to a fabulous dinner. We are now tired and off to bed.
We leave for Vienna tomorrow afternoon.
