The end of our Budapest trip was much more relaxing- lots of wandering, statue-posing, and Christmas shopping. Although, the thoughtful Mitford boy did have one last surprise up his sleeve.
{Parliament, as seen from Buda. The Palace looks very similar, but is behind me in the hills.}
{A tiny glimpse at night. Buda is hilly, hilly! It is also mostly residential so it was sleepy as we wandered through.}
You know me very well, mister. Thank you so much for the beautiful birthday.
After our touristy day Jonny sneakily led me to the Hilton Hotel. We went down, down, down into a cave and emerged in an intimate little wine cellar with a table for two! The surprise was a Hungarian-wine tasting in the caves of Buda! How perfectly thoughtful is that? We got to sample some nine different wines all made at local vineyards and the owners spent a ton of time at our table, talking about the wines, showing us maps of the locations, describing the differences in the grapes and just filling our ears with knowledge about the country. It was such a magical, magical night.
You know me very well, mister. Thank you so much for the beautiful birthday.
