Budapest and a better day

Yesterday had best be forgotten, from my point of view.  We had the LONG bus ride through the mountains to get from Krakow to Budapest.  The air conditioning on the bus broke and it was our turn to sit on the back.  Heat and bumps and curves make one carsick Madge.  Fortunately, today was much better. The air conditioning is fixed and while we still have to sit on the back-the other side-we were getting on and off the bus so I fared fine.  And I have already talked to the couple from Bham that likes the bench seat on the back and I can swap with them in the front of the bus for the long day from Budapest to Prague. If I make that, I will be ok.  The way the program director has us rotating seats, we will never get in the front half of the bus ourselves.  According to our program director, the reason you get motion sickness is a vitamin B deficiency.  hmmm never heard that one before and since I used to be car sick even as an infant, according to my mom ( I ruined all the Sunday afternoon drives) I don't see that being the cause but whatever. 

The city tour was good and it is fun to see Budapest in the summer because when I came before, it was snowy and cold. The good thing about that is that there were no tourists but us. But it is not too bad and it is a beautiful city to see.  We saw all the things we needed to see today and had a good time doing it.  Tomorow Jim and I are not going on the all day optional tour (I am so glad-it is on the bus...)so we are going to go do some things that we want to do on our own timeframe.  Budapest is a pretty city-lots of it is not new but it is so scenic and if you like paprika, there is a lot of it here:) I don't remember there being a charge for us to go through the Fisherman's bastillion when Janis and I came but there was today and we did not have much time either.
We are back at the hotel and watching the world cup game of Brazil and enjoying being cool and relaxing.
