Day 14

Here is our room at the Penzion. You may notice our bed is made from two beds pushed together. Great solution for sheet snatchers, not so great for cuddling.
Breakfast. Yes, I ate the whole pepper for breakfast.
Inside our apartment at the Penzion.
B&B sign.
After breakfast we took our luggage with us and headed on foot to the sweet shop. It was worth the walk.
Check out these delicious treats.
DenOuden men waiting for treats.
Coffee and cake. It was a great way to start my day.

A cool statue outside the train station.

We tried to go to the ceramic's shop but it was closed. Bummer.
We got a picture of Jennifer napping on the way home. Apparently she is a sad sleeper.
It was like going to Hogwarts inside the train compartment. They were double sided and held all seven of us.
Jennifer, excited to be off the train.
This is the grocery store right by Justin's flat. I thought today was a good day to take a picture because it was closed. That way no one would look at me like I was a crazy tourist.
For dinner we went to America's Next Great Restaurant. I mean...Vapiano, an amazing casual restaurant that can be found across Europe. I just found out they have locations in the east coast. Why do we west coasters have to miss out on all the goodness?
You get a card when you go inside, make all your food choices, and they scan your card each time you add something to your bill. Just before you leave you pay for whatever was scanned on your card. They have delicious pizza and pastas.
Happy 26th Birthday Jennifer! We love you.
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Pasta Carbonara
After dinner we stopped by the Széchenyi Baths to check them out. They looked awesome.
After that we had to wait for darkness to come. Justin planned for us to explore the city at night. We headed over to the California Coffee Company to get some delicious java.
Hazelnut macchiato
Justin found the ceiling to be a little too low for his height.
Finally the sun went down and we were able to go exploring. Here is St. Istvan at night.
This is the way they change names around Budapest. Put up a new sign and cross out the old one.
The Four Seasons Hotel in Roosevelt Square.
Chain bridge and castle in the background.
I love this one.
Sorry this isn't that great of a picture. I wanted to include it anyway because it is a memorial for all of the victims that were shot into the Danube River during World War II.
Tunnel going under the castle district.

Dan and Jennifer
After taking those pictures we hiked half way up to a bridge overlooking the bridge and the city below.
Compare this picture to the previous one of the two of us to see how high we climbed.
Tomorrow is our last day in Budapest. See you then!
