We like to travel.
(This is the 22nd and final post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Tuesday, July 1 We continued walking down the main boulevard, and seeing this one we both instantly thought of all the Communist propaganda that must have spilled from this building, the Hungarian State Television building. It's now been converted into luxury offices… Continue reading Final Hours in Budapest (Day 3)
(This is the 21st post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Tuesday, July 1 Yep. Today is the day to get into the Parliament Building--the building that dominates much of the skyline on the Pest side of the river. We worked through the concierge in our hotel, and they were able to get us in,… Continue reading Budapest’s Final Morning (Day 3)–Parliament and Environs
(This is the 19th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Monday, June 30 Revived by a break in the action, we head back out, up the graffiti-ed escalator, getting out at the Opera Stop, for I'd heard you could just walk into that building and look around. I think we need this for our… Continue reading Budapest, Day 2: Finding our Rhythm in the City
(This is the 19th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Monday, June 30 We begin Day 2 in the rain, but still have to stop to see the beautiful manhole covers. I know there are plain-jane ones in these countries we travel in, and perhaps this is just putting on the dog for the… Continue reading Budapest, Day 2: Tourists in the Rain
(This is the 18th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Sunday, June 29 We start this day with breakfast, which is the lower level, but open to the main floor. This is looking down into the eating area. What follows are all the different stations and possibilities for breakfast. Breakfast Salad Orange juicing station… Continue reading Buda and Pest: Budapest–Day 1
(This is the 17th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Saturday, June 28 We ate another amazing breakfast, sneaking seeded rolls & slices of ham back to our table, then making small sandwiches for the train ride ahead. Good thing we did. We thought we had paid for a high-speed first-class rail ticket, but… Continue reading A Train to Budapest
(This is the 16th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Friday, June 27 When I say wander around Zagreb, I'm not kidding. Dave turned on his Endomundo app in the morning, and checked it at dinner that night; this is what we saw. Spot #1 is where we met up at the St. Francis… Continue reading Zagreb, Croatioa–Part II
(This is the 15th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Friday, June 27 First up, breakfast, at our fabulous hotel. We got there after the tour bus crowd had left, so the repast was severely depleted by the time we got there. No worries, we found things to eat anyway. And a toy corner… Continue reading Zagreb, Croatia–part I
(This is the 14th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) Thursday, June 26 We meet Anna Clare and Earl at breakfast, and after eating our way through the hotel's offerings, they tell us they've decided to head to see the caves, back where we came from. So after some discussion, we agreed to meet… Continue reading Traveling to Zagreb and Mirogoj Cemetery
(This is the 13th post of our Croatia-Budapest trip, June-July 2014) (Dave and his sister) After a hearty breakfast, where no leftovers from the evening before were consumed, we walked over to the Serbian Church. I'd downloaded a picture of one of my circle blocks from my quilty blog onto my mobile phone, hoping to… Continue reading Ljubljana’s Orthodox Church
