A couple of days ...

...in Budapest.


Looking at historic sites.



And not so historic sites!


Looking at splendid architecture of times long gone.


Lovely selection of piros paprika and garlic which together with the real spicy sausages are a real culinary treat.



View of Buda Castle hill.


A lot of traffic on the Danube. Riverboats stop here en route to the Black Sea.


But the best in Budapest is to visit my longest standing friends and to spend hours over lunch to catch up and sometimes lunch turns into dinner!

    Danke für die Erinnerung, Karen. Nach Budpest wollte ich unbedingt auch noch mal dieses Jahr, denn ein guter Freund arbeitet dort für rund zwei Jahre und hat eine schöne Stadtwohnung, in der wir auch übernachten könnten. Aber, aber, wie es so oft ist: Die Arbeit ist kein Frosch, sie hüpft mir nicht davon. Vielleicht im nächsten Jahr im Frühling - für 2014 habe ich unsere komplette Urlaubszeit bereits fest verplant.
    Gruß aus dem Schwoobeländle!

    Großartiger Kontrast zwischen erstem und zweiten Foto! Eine Stadt, die ich auch unbedingt mal ansehen muss.

    Budapest .. eine wunderschöne Stadt! Und ich habe so so so romantische Erinnerungen daran ...
    Merci, dass du mich noch einmal dorthin mitgenommen hast!

    P. S.: Von den doofen Hamburgern lass' ich mir nicht nochmal die Laune vermiesen - die wissen ja gar nicht, was sie verpassen ;-)

    Such stunning photos. It looks amazing, and how special to have some good friends to catch up with and linger until lunch turns into dinner. Sounds wonderful. All the best, Bonny

    I'd like to go back to Budapest. I was only there once and it turned out to be terribly cold.

    What an amazing city! Splendid architecture, indeed. We just do not have architectural details like those in our much younger country.
    Happy for you, spending time with your friend, too.
