This part will be by train from Prague to Budapest. This is a local train with several stops and which takes about seven hours. We left Prague at 9:40 am and will be in Budapest about 4:30 pm. This train is nice with large, reclining seats, a train hostess and conductor.
I'm writing this part on the train as we're going through forests, farmland, and small villages. There is a mixture of hardwood and evergreen trees and the colors of the leaves have been beautiful -particularly the beech trees which are turning bright yellow. In fact, it's hard to write - I'm too busy watching the scenery!
We arrived in Budapest and were met by our taxi driver at the station and whisked away to our apartment. October 23rd is a national holiday in Hungary and there many people out and about late. The apartment is located on October 6 Street - another important date in Hungarian history. We are right across the street from part of the Central European University.
We meet Andrea tomorrow morning for a walking tour and lunch😊
