Slept in, went to where? Starbucks! Haha Randy must really love me...used their Internet to book our place in Munich.
Walked around more of the Buda side. They have really cool roofs where it's like a mosaic, just looks awesome. We were going to walk though Parliament but I thought it's be a good idea to walk there. It was a lot farther than it looked! So we went and got gelato while waiting for a free tour to start. It wasn't the same company as Berlin unfortunately. She gave good history for 30 min then another lecture on what to drink for 30 min. They didn't live up to our expectations so we jetted out. One thing I did learn that was helpful was that Hungary lost the biggest chunk of land in WWI, Transylvania. Which makes so much more sense back 12 years ago trying to cross the border from Romania to Hungary and Hungary wasn't so nice. Well Transylvania is part of Romania now I believe.
We went to the Parliament building finally and saw a hole bunch of stuff the tour should have covered. There were monuments related to the uprising started in 1956 and those that lost their lives. Walked toward a flea market but it was closed so we will go tomorrow. Walked through a cave church which is exactly as it sounds.
The church met at the cave on the outside until the early 1900's when they were trying to make tunnels to the Danube. To no avail so then they met inside. The communists shut it down during their rule by putting up a wall which came down after the Berlin wall.
Bought some Hungarian wine and celebrated 4 amazing years together!!!
