Last Day in Budapest

Today was the last full day in Budapest.

I started the day with.... WORK. Yes, it's true! I met with a gentleman from the PILI here in Budapest for about an hour. It was a really great meeting and I'm glad I took the time to fit it in.

After my meeting, I did a little shopping for souvenirs. I found a little wine shop in a courtyard basement, and the guiy there was really nice and informative. He told me about a restaurant that the wine shop owned, and it sounded very tasty. As did the 2 bottles of wine I bought. :-)

I called R after that and discovered that she & Bridget were VERY hungry and wanted out of the apartment (the outer gate was locked). So, I took pity & headed back. I filled them in on the restaurant, and we decided to go there for lunch.

WOW. The wine was awesome, the food was awesome, the service was awesome. We were all completely happy. The waiter took a picture of us behind the bar after we ate, and encouraged us to grab bottles to hold for our picture.

After lunch, we hit the streets for more souvenir shopping. I think I bought 3 scarves in the space of 5 minutes! We went back to the wine shop; I was pleased to give them more business. We wandered around until it was time to go home and pack up for tomorrow - off to Bratislava!
