We had an excellent train ride. Had our own cabin and shower in the cabin! What wasn't perfect is when we bought our reservation is they didn't tell us we'd be going through Slovakia which isn't covered by the eurorail. So first the price was €80 then he dropped it to €30! Don't understand but whatever.
Tried to get our tickets to Switzerland but everything was booked so we flipped the trip again. Munich THEN Switzerland, hopefully.
We were staying at a guest house on the top of castle hill on the Buda side. Randy was even joking on the way about hopefully they didnt lose our reservation etc. He looked to me in front of the Hilton and said "we're here." I just laughed and then...we checked in!!! He thought it'd be nice for our anniversary. :) Ahhh I love him!!! Our hotel has the view of the matthias church as is we're right next to it.
Walked around the top of the hill and went to a fair that was starting and who do we see??? The Ukrainians from Berlin in our room!!! We said hi and then walked down and crossed the bridge to Pest "Pesht" to walk around and who do we see??? The gal from Holland in our room at Prague!!! So funny!!!
We visited St Steven's church, the castle on both Buda and Pest sides. Strolled in some parks and then headed back.
Hungary was a communist country until 1989 with the fall of the Berlin wall. Cool how all these places we've visited help connect the dots. They tried to start a revolution in 1956 but the red army suppressed them and it failed.
