nice Nice story - much appreciated. Thanks. I'm in Budapest now myself-stunning view from the Marriott of the Danube, Buda Castle, and the Liberty Monument.
What a great trip! I had completely forgotten about the woman losing her wallet. There is something to be said about a 4-5 Day vacation on a budget. Sometimes having to watch your wallet can force you to find other means of entertaining yourself without breaking the bank, and this trip proved that you can have a lot of fun without having to spend a whole lot.

I mean far away photos capture a part of it, but its the pictures of the courtyard and from inside the place that you really can tell how massive the whole structure is.
