Easter in Budapest
We decided to go to Budapest for Easter. Just 90 minutes from Geneva by Easyjet so away we went.
First stop upon arrival, the local supermarket, where Catherine was introduced to the joys of Bubble tea. Can you guess the flavours?
We took a walking tour the ext day to orientate ourselves. St Stephans in Pest (~Pesht) and St Matthias on the Buda (Booda) side.
Of course Hungary is also famous for its food, Goulash, which is apparently a soup not a stew? not a great place for a vegetarian.
Next day we took a tour of the Parliament. 40 kg of gold are used to decorate the building, so everything that looks like gold, is.
We had brunch at the New York Cafe. So very beautiful on the inside. Hard to imagine this was not that uncommon in the good old days.
A more somber site to visit was a piece of art (cast iron shoes) commemorating the thousands of Jews transported to their deaths in WWII.

St Stephans, named after their first Christian King
St Matthias's
