Beautiful Budapest...........................




Budapest has antiques shops. As much as I love crystal 
and chandeliers, one suitcase and a backpack 
will not accommodate anything for the cottage!


The buildings include many beautiful facades with PATINA - 
you know how I love patina!


The people have been helpful and delightful on this our 
first afternoon and evening.


We arrived here mid-afternoon in brilliant sunshine and 
it's comfortably warm.............the city glowed.


This evening, following a walk, but feeling somewhat 
tired from lack of sleep on the overseas 
flight, we decided to skip a heavy dinner 
out and instead enjoyed tasty offerings, 
along with excellent Hungarian wines, in the 
hotel's Concierge Lounge.
The views across the Danube to Buda - we are staying 
in Pest on the opposite side of the river - were 
breathtaking as the sun set and the city was illuminated.

I have brought just my Nikon Coolpix S6400 on this trip. 
Because of flareups of the Polymyalgia Rheumatica 
 pain in my arms and hands I cannot handle the heavy 
cameras right now.
Hopefully I will get relatively good pics with this 
little point and shoot!
