Yesterday, Saturday, was a different day. We got a shuttle at 11:00 am to take us from Athens town to the country and the beach. It was a pleasant ride through the country. Our beach resort was beautiful. Right on the Aegean Sea. All of us took some time to walk around the grounds and explore the hotel. Of course, Carol and I had a massage. Then dinner started at 7:30 pm. We had a very nice buffet and called it a day.
We chose this hotel because it was near the airport and it would give us a different look of Greece. It had none of the hustle and bustle of the big city. It was also off season, so the hotel was not very full
Today, Sunday, it was up at 5:00 am to arrive at the airport by 6:15 so we could be on time for our 8:20 am departure. Arrival was at 9:20 into Budapest. (2 hr flight and one time zone change.)
Our hotel is very old and the Nazis used it during WWII. However it is very well kept and it is very near tons of things.
Budapest is a beautiful city. Actually our guide said it was the second most beautiful city in the world. I always wonder what the first is, don’t you?
Below are pictures of the Parliment building in Pest. I have a night picture of the Castle, but I could not get it to upload. The Castle and the Parliment building are separated by the Danube River.
I have a picture of Sandra at this “Hero’’s Square,” but I could not get it to upload.
This is the Parliment Building.
I have a picture of me at this fountain, but I could not get it to upload.
How about this picture, Renee and Mike?
Thanks for coming along today. We are all bushed again tonight.
