Despite the cold weather, we bundled up and took our 3+ mile walk through our section of the city. We are located on the west side of the Danube river. This side of the river is called Buda. The east side of the river is called Pest. We are trying really hard not to get lost since there are so many winding streets. So far we have been able to find our way back home to our apartment. Part of our walk took us through one of the many parks in this area. Instead of children's playground equipment, they have installed workout equipment. This park is brown this time of the year but we have heard that this place will transform overnight with beautiful flowers and trees come spring!
In the evening, we took the metro (subway) under the river to walk the famous plaza street, "Vaci Utca" (Vaci Street). The plaza street is almost one mile long. It became famous in the 1800's for its fashionable shopping! Later that evening we enjoyed a wonderful Hungarian meal at the "Szareves Etterem", the oldest restaurant in Pest. We topped off the evening with hot chocolate served in fine china mugs. The best hot chocolate we have ever tasted, by far!
Along the "Vaci Utca", shopping plaza!
