BudaPesch

With four days in Budapest, I managed to get a taste for the summer city atmosphere: hot, alive, colourful, busy. The buildings are gorgeous and preserved and so are the people!

We had quite significant a fork in the holiday wheel, though, as far as health was concerned. Lauren insisted Hungarian malaria was what we had. I rationalized. It was highly likely that she had sinusitis, as the doctor told us that morning at her appointment, and I a sinusitis/bronchitis combo, as the doctor had told me the day before. What a duo! We walked and toured as our bodies allowed, sat in every square and park known, ordered ginger ales and sorbet, spent money on vitamins and curing Hungarian tea, and destroyed whole boxes of Kleenex... together, we were a tourist team to be reckoned with.
