Sunday. Ash and Wendy headed out to a flea market while I stayed in the apartment. Cleaned up a little and did some washing. Read my book for a while and dozed off. We had some lunch together after they came back and I heard the stories and saw the acquisitions. Ash scored a brilliant little coffee machine called a Gomba (mushroom) and Wendy found some little notebooks and some utensils. We then headed out to ride the public transport and ended up down the river edge at the Ludwig Museum/Budapest Museum of Contemporary Art which is part of the new Palace of Arts. Nice new buildings and some great art installations in the gardens. Rode a tram back up towards the Parliament buildings and found some lunch before walking the length of Margaret Island. It’s amazing with sports ovals, aquatic centre, plenty of gardens, large trees, benches, paths, ancient ruins, jogging track, a hotel etc. and must be nearly 3 kms long...and it’s got the Danube on both sides!
Ended up in the castle district (on the Buda side) and got the lie of the land (more of that tomorrow) and walked back over the Chain Bridge (lots of spiders catching little bugs attracted to all the lights) as well as using up more opportunities on our day ticket on the public transport. Back home and to bed (crashing again!)
