Hitting the shops
So what did you buy that wasn't rubbish? I'm glad there was time for retail therapy before heading to Poland. I bet Natalia is having the time of her life showing you round.

What did you buy?
Not much. It's all rubbish. We did have to buy a few clothes and a pair of shoes but other than that, not much. Just back from a boat ride on the Danube. Great views but a little cold. Budapest is wonderful but too much to see in 3 days so maybe another visit one day. Cheers.
