Budapest - day 3

After staying up way too late and having a great time, we slept in a little.  It was nice to be able to relax.  We decided to try and hit up the baths and see what those are all about.

The boys are one of the oldest underground in Europe.

Budapest was the 2nd city in Europe with an underground.  The first was London.  Interesting fact, it was designed by Gastav Eiffel, which is the same guy who designed the Eiffel tower.

David and I on the underground!

Here is a view of the Szechenyi baths.  It is the one that more locals go to.  It is the largest medicinal bath in Europe.  It is supplied by two thermal springs, their temperatures are 165 degrees F and 171 degrees F.  The unfortunate thing is that everybody decided it would be a good idea to go there today on the 1st.  So I didn't even get out the tickets we needed before they said we were full.  The kids were all pretty disappointed, so was I.

You can see that these are still run by people and not computers.

The boys decided to have a little bit of fun on the underground!

AJ and Michael being silly!!!  I love my boys!!!

Having a late lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe.  Unfortunately it took FOREVER!!!   It took so long that we didn't have to pay for anything.

By the time we finally got out of the Hard Rock Cafe, it was dark outside.  The one good thing about that is that the lights were very pretty.  

We decided to do some last minute souvenir shopping downtown.  We found some great last minute items that we just had to have!!!

This was a little strange.  I don't think there is a person in there, not sure where they went or when they were going to come back to collect their money.

It was a beautiful town and such a wonderful time!!!  We enjoyed our time immensely in Budapest and would love to go back if we had more time in Europe!!!  The next day we started our 10 hour drive home.  It took us over 14 hours to get home.  I guess everybody else thought that the 2nd was a great day to drive home.  It was well worth it though!!  I am so glad that the boys are such good travelers and didn't complain on the way home.
