Over the past 4 days, we've been in two different locations. The first 2.5 days we spent in Budapest, Hungary, and the other 1.5 days we were in Salzburg, Austria. Budapest was very city-ish and bustling. While in Budapest, we decided to take a double-decker bus tour of the city which was very informational and great for sightseeing. Another highlight was going to dinner at a traditional Hungarian restaurant with live gypsy music. After our mini-visit to Hungary, we took a train to Salzburg and packed as much action into our 24 hours as possible. We began by meandering through the streets of the rustic downtown area. We saw some sights and monuments that were in The Sound of Music which was fun too! Mozart was born and raised in Salzburg, so that night we went to a dinner-concert. Through the evening, musicians played several sets of pieces by the famous composer, some of which were accompanied by opera singers! We had a great time overall with lots of fun packed into our short visits. Here's a few photos from our trip:

ReplyDeleteWe are! I miss you, Girlfriend! :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful view from the citadel in Budapest, looks like you got have some blue skies at least! I like how the musicians are in period dress at the dinner - a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteFinally had some blue skies! For the first leg of our trip it rained like crazy which led to the worst flooding in 400 years for several countries. Especially Germany, Budapest, and Prague. It's been nice to have some sun at last! The show was really awesome, I bet you and the family would have really enjoyed it!
DeleteMore fun in another beautiful place. I can't wait to go traveling too!
ReplyDeleteI miss you Ty! We're in Venice right now and theres all these really beautifully decorated masks and they remind me of things that you'd like. I'll take a picture of them for you!
