We're here!


This morning (last night?) we flew from Toronto, through Prague, to Budapest. The flight was pretty painless - the longest leg being 7.5 hours. It wasn't quite as luxurious as the Air Canada flight, as the movies just showed on the main screen. But the movies were pretty good and the time went by fairly quickly. Customs was completely painless and efficient.

Unfortunately, Christina's and Dick's bags didn't arrive when Mike's and mine did. After checking with the front desk all day long, we finally just now (less than 15 minutes ago) got the bags (whew!) so Christina and Dick are both freshening up before we go out again tonight. We're not sure what the problem was, but I just noticed that Dick's suitcase does have a security sticker on it - maybe the bags got lost in that process.

So when we got here we hung out for a little while in the hotel bar/lobby looking at a map, then went out for a nice long walk. I'd tell you exactly where, but I'm not sure - I may be able to fill you in better when I get my bearings. Here are a few photos from today:
