Got an hour of boat tour on the Danube. It was very cold and not much enjoyable but still I got some sun burn. Beauty of it was that I floated on Danube for an hour which sounded very romantic. Got to see some old buildings from afar and mark the places I would like to explore when I am here again with my family enshala.
Walked back to the hotel from the pier using the internal streets. Two blocks eat of the river there was a promenade for a few blocks that was really charming to walk in. I found a souvenir shop in an inner alley which was also an antic shop. It was really interesting exploring the old china and dolls and medals from communist era. The first thing that caught my eyes was a Hungarian doll I fell in love immediately. It was very bizarre as I never played with dolls growing up but now expecting a baby girl I thought I wanted to buy it for 2000 Hungarian Flute, $8. I also got to buy a hand rafted table cloth with needle works and crochet. I found A a hand made wooden game of balance I hope he enjoys experimenting with. Wish I could find M a decent present but alas. But got our household a bag of paprika and a couple porcelain small dishes I hope he enjoys.
These kind of promenade is exactly what I like about Europe. Especially in cheaper places like Budapest. I hope to go back one day with my family. In fact a colleague from the area recommended that I should combine visiting Prague, Vienna, and Budapest in one trip and I liked the idea. Until then.
