Clay was up first this morning and woke me with his tablet
in bed again. It was about 6:30am. He asked me if I was alright. I said I didn’t
know yet and he told me I was hollering in my sleep and struggling. No idea. If
asked, I’d have thought I was too exhausted to have nightmares. I don’t
remember anything. We got to breakfast with fewer people this morning. The
buffet was slightly different but mostly the same. We met the Big Bus for our
second day as it made its first stop of the day around 9:15am. The problem that
exists with all the world’s HOHO buses exists here, they don’t run enough for
you to possibly schedule to use all the benefits you purchased in the time allotted.
We did not get the full route ridden in our 48 hours because they stopped
running this evening 2 hours before the scheduled time. We never did get a
night ride on bus or boat or a boat ride at all, because we were too tired last
night and tonight because the bus we were on went out of service and another never
came. We did get our Buda walking tour today at 2:30pm. We had to use public transportation
to get to the meeting place. We got directions for doing that from our lunch
waiter at Trofea Grill in Buda, but we still got lost before we got there! So,
we visited the highest view point on Gellert Hill today at the Liberty Statue.
We also toured the Great Market Hall. We had lunch at Trofea Grill. That was
all we got done. I feel like I’ve walked miles but I don’t see how that’s
possible. I can’t account for my time today. Budapest is a bit of sensory
overload. There is a lot to see. It’s the details, like Disney World! We rode the
Metro home and stopped at the KFC on the corner to bring a light dinner back.
Clay thinks he is getting a sore throat. I hope not, but I really hope that
like last trip when he got sick and I didn’t that I won’t this time either! I
guess that is really selfish.
