Our holiday is quickly coming to an end. It's hard to believe that 2 months have passed since we left Kelowna. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time over here, with a few exceptions (see previous comments, Paris) but we are ready to return to the real world. We miss the wide streets, and the English-speaking people.

We have enjoyed our visit with my mom for the past two weeks, and thought it was time to update the blog, as we figured out a way to access the internet rather than having to go to an internet cafe. We thought we'd include a few pictures of Budapest.



The tiles used for the roof on this church came from a factory in the town where my grandmother was born.



This contraption is called a "funicular" railway. It goes straight up the side of the mountain to the Castle, similar to the one we took in Paris. Tomorrow, we are planning to take a tour of the Opera House and hopefully get a peek inside the spa at the Gellert hotel. We'll attempt to add more comments on what we've done tomorrow night, before we head off to Frankfurt on Saturday.
