Budapest with Moom

Last month Moom and I went to Budapest for a long weekend. It was Moom's second European trip in a year, and her second favorite trip after Berlin.....ha ha just kidding! We walked around most of city despite the cold and sometimes windy conditions. Check out the photos to see some of what we saw.....

Great Market Hall
Probably the biggest market hall in Budapest-- you can get your fix of paprika there!

Szent Istvan
The patron saint of Hungary and its first monach....would you want to cross this guy? I sure wouldnt!

Parliament
Hungarian Parliament, an amazing looking building both inside and out

The mystery of the crooked cross
We never found out why the cross on the crown jewels is bent. Apparently there are many rumors but no solid evidence. The mystery remains...

House of Terror
The Museum of Terror documents Hungary's tourture and brutalization under both the nazi and commie regimes. Pretty sobering to think that you can build a museum of that size devoted to torture and terror. As part of our terror tour, Moom and I also went to the Lukács Cukrászda, a coffee house down the streets once frequented by ss and soviet thugs. And also to the Astoria Cafe, another popular WWII-era evil guy hangout

Gellert Baths
When in Budapest, you have to go to the baths and take the waters at least once. We decided to go for a swim and massage at the msot famous bath in Budapest, the Gellert.
