Today, after a coffee at the corner Starbucks, we purchased the hop on – hop off bus tickets for 2 days. Just as the bus arrived it started to rain! Fortunately most of the bus is covered 
so wasn’t a problem but did make taking pictures more difficult. The bus goes through both Pest (where we are staying) and Buda the area across the river. Crossing the river we got a nice shot of the Castle 
and a bit better once we were heading up the hill to the overlook 
We see all of this again tomorrow and again once our River Cruise formally starts. Once back on the Pest side, we hopped and had lunch at a nice little spot – and watched it rain on and off about 4 times while sitting inside! 
. After lunch, and picking up a bottle of the local wine, we got back to our hotel and waited for the arrival of our friends Jerry and Gloria. Fortunately the Air France strike didn’t impact their plans and they arrived around 5 and off we went to the New York Cafe for a light dinner. 
Tomorrow we will do the hop on bus again hitting more sites – and the weather appears to be great – sunshine and high in the upper 70s!
Yes, Yes we are following along. Your trips are so fun filled, relaxing and cuisine decadent. If only I could convince Denise that following along with your trip is almost as good as being there ourselves.
You kidding me, STARBUCKS. Looks like you are both having fun.
Love the pics.
