Check out the humidity

You can't even see the huge water tower one street over!

Thursday

Got an early start to the day and headed out to walk down Vaci street and get some shopping in at the Great Market Hall. It was quite an experience! The 2nd floor had all sorts of handmade and local crafts, along with a lot of the usual touristy stuff that you'd expect to find. The first floor had tons of fruit & vegetable stands and meat markets along with a few pastry and coffee shops.

After we finished up at the Great Market Hall we walked down toward the Jewish Synegogue and Parliament, before crossing over the Chains Bridge into Pest (west side of Danube river) and heading towards the castle district. My legs have completely given out on me at this point. They aren't really sore, but it feels like each leg is made out of concrete and it takes all my energy just to put one foot in front of the other. I told Amy that I think we did the Breast Cancer 3 day walk today, in one day.

Tonight we're going on a cruise of the Danube that leaves dock at 8:15pm. Hopefully it will still be light enough to get a few pics before the lights come on at nightfall. Until then we're hanging out in the Marriott Executive lounge scoring some free food, drinks and of course... internet.

Tomorrow we are going on a Segway tour of the Pest (east) side of town at 10:00am. It should last a few hours, so after that we may try to hit a few more shops before going to the baths sometime tomorrow afternoon. We'll have to get to bed early because we both fly out super early on Saturday morning.

Dumping cronies on the train

Yes, I bought and ate all of this on the train to Vienna in order to
use all my Czech money.
