Friday morning we hopped back on the train bound for Budapest to visit our friends who were about to move back to the States. John took a half day, and he was walking up from work just as our car pulled up to their apartment. After a quick tour of the apartment (which I know Kristina is very glad to be done with!), we headed to lunch at one of their favorite places to bring guests. It was on the river on a boat, and we overlooked the city. Quite a fabulous view. After a wonderful lunch and a few beers, we wandered up to the Castle for some more fabulous views and picture taking opportunities.

We enjoyed the rest of the weekend, sightseeing and eating and enjoying a few cocktails! Thank you to John and Kristina for hosting us so close to your departure.
Unfortunately we missed the new arrivals to Budapest, the Liners, by only a few hours. But we know we'll be back to visit them during their tour abroad.
