Budapest

It took 45 minutes by bus & tram to reach the Warsaw airport from my hotel.  The airport terminal is fairly new & I was through security in just a few minutes.  My flight from Warsaw to Budapest is on Wizzair.  I paid $58 for my ticket which included $25 for my checked bag.  The 1 hour flight was pretty smooth & it appeared that every seat on the flight was filled.

I arrived in Budapest & bought a city transit pass for 15 days for only $22.50.  I also stopped at Subway for lunch on my way to the hotel.  They had a few rap songs (in English) with some really sexually explicit lyrics on the overhead speakers followed by a Taylor Swift song, no one seemed understand the lyrics of the songs (or didn't care if they did understand).

I checked into the Park Inn hotel for a free 7 night stay & was upgraded to a superior room which is the size of a small suite.  The hotel is only a few years old & in a quiet neighborhood, but the downside is that it is 15-20 minutes by subway from downtown.  

After staying in 8 cities over the last month, it will be nice to take it easy for the next 12 days here without many activities planned.  Budapest is a great place (especially in the evening) to just to walk along the river or through some of main tourist streets downtown & people watch.  Here are a few photos from my first night in town.
