20220917 Kyjov to Budapest: This was a transition day as we moved from the Czech Republic to Hungary. And it’s some distance. Thus, we spent most of the day driving. Left Kyjov at about 9:00. Today was cold and sometimes rainy.
Entering Slovakia, we trudged about a half mile from the van to see an Eighty Century church, one of the oldest in Europe. It St. Margret of Antioch, small and humble and plain. Back to the van, we drove for about another hour to inside Hungary and lunch at Halzkert Vendeglo. Nice lunch but language was difficult since stall only spoke either German or Hungarian. Menu also just in those two languages. Jeff showed us how to use Google translate so we could see the menu in English. Nice.
Onward to Budapest. Wanted to stop at the Great Fook Hall before going to the hotel, but it was late on a Saturday and they are closed until Monday. Went to Hotel Parlament, where I am in Room 108. Met in the lobby at 6:45 for a lengthy walk to Aszu, a Michelin starred restaurant, where Jeff reminded me we had eaten in 2016 prior to our Danube cruise.
On our way back to the hotel, we passed by St. Stephen’s Basilica where there was a giant screen set up and rows and rows of chairs in which people were watching Blade Runner in the rain.
It’s cold here. And today was rainy. Really didn’t think it’d be this cold given the “usual” weather, but it is and I really don’t have warm tops. Jeff loaned me a warm fuzzy to wear tomorrow.
We’re off at 9:00 to go to Szentendre.
