As we are getting closer to the end of this trip, we are getting lazier. The day didn't start until close to 10 AM. We lazed around the apartment for awhile, slowly packing, until it was time to head to the train station. We got there in time to just hang out in the McDonalds with some coffee until our train arrived. Out of the other two trains MaryAnn and I have been on, this one was by far the nicest. The seats were set up like those of an airplane. We had a lot of leg room, and the ride was so smooth!
We arrived in Budapest, and went to our host's apartment. It turned out that he had gone shopping, just because we were coming. He had so much food in his fridge and pantry, that he doesn't even eat. This degree of hospitality was unexpected, but much appreciated!
It was a rather uneventful night... Gellert, our host, showed us around the city a bit, and left us on the cities busiest shopping street. He made sure we knew how to get home, and set us free! I like getting most of my souvenir shopping done on the first day that we are in a place... It just makes the other days easier, as I don't have to search for anything! I always have to get postcards, a pin for my map, and a t-shirt, from each country. Eventually, I will have enough t-shirts to make a quilt! Check out the new tab on the blog; it shows the t-shirts that I've gotten in each place.
