We arose early and were picked up by Super Shuttle in a Mercedes mini van at 8:45. We got to CDG in plenty of time to check our bags, eat lunch and catch our EasyJet flight to Budapest. A driver met us at the arrivals hall and drove us to the Bellevue House, our B&B for the next three nights.
Judit, our hostess, gave us a thorough orientation of the B&B. She also showed us how to get to the closest ATM, how to buy Metro passes and where to go for dinner. We took a walk, got some money, bought our metro tickets, walked along the Danube and ended up eating at Hunyadi Étterem. We both had a soup of beef goulash with egg dumplings. Ann had duck breast and red cabbage with apples. I had roasted pork tenderloin with broccoli and cauliflower in a rich white sauce. Ann had a Hungarian white wine while I had a Hungarian dark beer.
We were so stuffed that we had to take a short walk to settle our stomachs. We went up Castle Hill and looked at the view from our Buda side to the Pest side. Lights on the buildings make a spectacular scene especially from the Paraliament. The photo at the top of top of this page was of Mathias Church.
It is now late for us and we are ready for bed.
