After a long day of travel we have arrived!

Budapest, Hungary
After an 11+ hour flight to Frankfurt, a nearly 2 hour flight from there to Budapest we are safe, tired, but excited as we arrive at the Sofitel Hotel at the Chain Bridge in the heart of old Budapest.
The travels, while long were uneventful, and flying business class allowed us to sleep on the flight to Frankfurt. After a short stay at the lounge for some beer and a snack we were off to Budapest. On arrival we collected our bags and met or driver (if there was any customs check or passport control we never saw it). Julian was our driver and was very helpful explaining the town and the currency. The local currency is called Forint (HUF) and for about $26 US you get 10,000 HUF so it's every easy to feel like a big spender. 
The Sofitel is modern, well appointed and situated in a perfect location. After a short walk along the Danube the day's travels are catching up to us and we return to the hotel for some room service and sleep.
After a restful night we are up and ready to start our walking tour of Budapest.

We left there this time last year after a river cruise from Pasau to Budapest and son, Cory, was there two days ago! Love the city! Love the Danube!

Looking forward to more of the adventures of Pam and Warren. 10,000 Forint. Wow.

Can't wait to hear more. A Danube river cruise is on my travel list. But, then again, what isn't? ;)
