Here we are in Budapest.It is August 20. Vienna was great, one day is not enough time to see things. We visited the catacombs under the city. The Sissi museum about the Empress Elisabeth. We went the the Leopold museum and that was a bust. There were only 2 paintings by Klimpt. We visited a butterfly room. Lots of live and pretty butterflies flying around. Not really an Austria sight but it was neat all the same.

Budapest is good. Very busy, lots of tourists. We saw an interesting exhibit on the Inca. The castle is neat, right now they are having a folk festival which is fun to look at all the crafts. It was super jammed with people. They had some sort of airplane races on the river and that was pretty cool to watch, they fly fast. It was the national holiday on Monday, everything was closed so we missed out on the baths but we got to see great fireworks. When I say everything is closed I mean everything but souveneir shops. We tried to go to Tesco to buy the final Harry Potter to read on the train but no luck. He did find it at the train station, we paid full price but what can you do when you have a 5 hour train ride ahead and have nothing to read. So if anyone wants a copy you can buy one off of us for $14. (we now have two)


We have done so much stuff it is all starting to run together.
Off to Croatia and Slovenia tomorrow.
